Hey babe!
Today you’re going to Define your ideal self-care.
Find a journal or notebook you can keep your notes in for the next few days. I keep a planner for my daily practice/ magical/ journaling needs.
Pleasure and desire are some of the most important qualities to cultivate in pursuit of self-care. As a society (especially socialized femme folks) we often sexualize desire and pleasure, and think of it only in tems of attraction or other people ie: how to be more desirable, how to please others. What role does pleasure and desire play in your self-care routine now, if any? Here are 3 journal prompts to get you thinking about your needs as
opposed to what society says our self-care should look like! Remember, you don't need to have all- or any solutions, just brainstorm. Share your takeaways from the promos on IG and lets have a community conversation about it!

Day 1 Magical Morning Practice:
Hop in the shower like you normally do (this can happen in the evening too) and as you’re soaping your body just notice your skin. Pay attention to the texture, tension, pleasure, soreness, and anything else your body is feeling. Rinse off and thank your body for holding and supporting you. Think of it as a poem, a song, a prayer. Let your gratitude settle on your skin. If you have the time rub your hardworking feet with oil before getting dressed
Is your body a part of your though process of self-care? Do you consider it when you're planning a vacation, or dreaming of laying on a sunny beach? Magic starts in our bones, our skin, our ability to hold gratitude for our bodies- our forever homes.
Takeaway: We can't self-care if we don't know what we need. Magic is everywhere, taking a few moments to slow down and connect with your physical body (after all, you live here 24/7) will allow you to tap back into your pleasure and desire.
