5 Self-Love Rituals to Nourish Your Mind, Body and Soul
Self-love isn't selfish. It’s an essential practice for overall wellbeing, and for sustainably nurturing your physical and mental health for the long-term.
This ‘love month’ we’ve collated five simple yet powerful self-love practices for you to incorporate into your weekly routine. Remember—taking time to prioritise and care for yourself is not optional! Whilst life can be busy, making time for yourself is crucial. Regular self-love reduces stress, improves your health and allows you to foster a deeper connection with both yourself and those around you.
As the saying goes, ‘You can’t pour from an empty cup.’
1. Create a Nourishing Morning Routine
The way you choose to begin your morning can influence the rest of your day. Design a morning routine that feels best for you and works with your schedule.
Our suggestions:
- Journal for 10 minutes to reflect on how you feel.
- Take a mindful walk around the block before you switch your social media on.
- Meditate to cultivate gratitude. Try the free daily meditations we have on the JSHealth App!
- Nourish your body with a balanced plate of quality protein, healthful fats and wholegrain carbohydrates.
- Hydrate with a glass of Greens + Collagen for radiant skin and digestive support.
These simple shifts can create a calm and intentional morning and set a positive, refreshed tone for the day ahead.
2. Move Your Body, Mindfully
Movement is one of the most effective forms of self-love, and it doesn’t have to be intense or exhausting. Just 30 minutes of mindful movement daily supports both mental and physical health.
Try a 20-minute guided yoga flow from the JSHealth App, put your favourite music on and dance, swim, cycle or lift weights. The most important part is listening to your body, and moving it in the way it needs.
3. Enjoy a DIY Hair Spa Ritual
A little extra TLC for your hair can go a long way. Why wait for the salon experience when you can re-create it at home?
Run a warm shower or bath, put on some relaxing tunes and make time for yourself. Enjoy a DIY hair mask with our Nourishing Vitamin Conditioner (with natural botanicals that smell like a day spa!), followed by a relaxing scalp massage with a Vita-Growth Scalp Serum and scalp massager. Not only will you be creating a moment of calm, you will be rejuvenating your scalp and restoring healthy, shiny and thick hair in the process.
4. Relax and Connect with Yourself Before Bed
The way you close your day is just as important as how you start it. Establishing a calming nighttime routine like our founder Jess’, can help your body and mind transition into a restful state.
Our suggestions:
- Run a warm bath with Epsom salts to relax your muscles.
- Sip a cup of herbal tea to signal to your body that it’s time to unwind.
- Limit screen time before bed and swap your phone for a book.
- Practise a gentle skincare routine, taking time to massage your face with a Gua Sha to release tension.
- Reflect on your day with a gratitude list or light journaling.
- Practice self-massage with lavender-scented oil.
Prioritising intimacy with yourself in these ways can also lead to deeper connections with others.
5. Commit to Self-Love Long-Term
Making self-love a non-negotiable part of your lifestyle is one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself. Consider it an investment in yourself, with lasting benefits.
This may look like nourishing your body with mindful morning and night routines, staying consistent with target supplements, moving your body daily or looking after your skin and hair with clinically-backed, restorative products.
