Creating Wellness Rituals in Your 30s

Creating Wellness Rituals in Your 30s

Your 30s are when you finally realize "wait, I can prioritize me and my self-care and the world won't set on fire?". That ah-ha moment you experience smack in the middle of career demands, family responsibilities, and the ever-elusive quest for "balance" can leave you feeling overwhelmed with thoughts of "but how the heck do I do that?" Your 30s are a decade marked by growth, change, and the pursuit of your most authentic self. Its the pivotal moment when you realize "if I don't take care of me, who will?" Or "if I don't fill my cup, how can I continue to fill others?" And this doesn't mean you start becoming selfish, right? It simply means that your life no longer revolves around being with friends 24/7, staying out until 3a, making doctor appointments only when something hurts. It means that you start being proactive with your health, wellness, and even creating rituals because you love it versus feeling like it's a punishment. Creating wellness rituals in your 30s is nothing short of magical. On this journey, we'll explore why rituals matter, the difference between rituals and routines, the beautiful impact they can have, and four key rituals that should be at the heart of your wellness ritual. Before we dive deep into your action plan, let's lay the foundation. Chapter 1: Demystifying Rituals What's a Ritual Anyway? First things first, let's define rituals. They're not to be confused with routines. Routines are autopilot tasks; rituals are intentional, soul-soothing moments. Think of them as mini-celebrations you gift yourself every day. They provide structure and purpose, without feeling mundane or obligatory. Chapter 2: The Magic of Rituals In Your 30s Unlocking the Potential You might wonder, "Why rituals?" Well, your 30s are a whirlwind of transformation, growth, and self-discovery. Rituals are like the friend who's always there when you need them, offering support and comfort. They anchor you amidst life's storms, empowering you to thrive, even on the most overwhelming days. Chapter 3: Ritual #1 - The Body Care Affair Elevated Body Care: Our first recommendation is a body care ritual. You may think, "I already have products that I've been using for years". I want to share something with you. What you expose yourself to is who you become. This means that if you expose yourself to elevated ways of taking care of yourself, you'll desire that more. That's what having a ritual does, and in turn, makes you desire it in other parts of your life as well. Here's where Address Oasis takes center stage. Imagine your daily shower routine transformed into a luxurious sanctuary. With our hydrating creamy body washes, exfoliating scrubs, moisturizing whips, and nurturing body serums, your self-care journey gets an instant upgrade. It's not just about cleanliness; it's an intentional pause in your day, where you cherish your body's beauty and resilience. It turns your shower routine into a ritual. Chapter 4: Ritual #2 - Mindful Mornings Embrace Sunrise Moments Start your mornings with a moment of mindfulness. Before the hustle begins, dedicate a few minutes to gratitude, or deep breathing. This simple practice sets a positive tone for the day, offering clarity and serenity amidst the morning rush. Also, being mindful doesn't have to mean meditation & journaling. What grounds you and makes you feel loved? Whatever just came to mind for you is what should be the start of your mindful morning. Chapter 5: Ritual #3 - Creative Escapes Tapping Into Your Creativity Consider this a call to your inner artist. Set aside time for a creative escape, whether it's blogging, writing, painting your toes, or sewing. Let your imagination take over. Creative rituals are the ultimate stress relievers, igniting joy and self-expression. The whirlwind that your 30s are, needs an escape. The escape doesn't have to mean ugly outbursts (though sometimes it can look like that), it could simply mean that you need to tap back into something you've been suppressing, like your creativity. Chapter 6: Ritual #4 - Nature Nurturing Forest Bathing, City Style Get back to nature, even in the city. Dedicate time to connecting with the outdoors. Whether it's a park stroll, rooftop garden visit, or balcony gardening, nature rituals foster peace and replenish your vitality. Picture it (in my Sophia Petrillo voice, iykyk), you've got your favorite tea, or apple juice in a wine glass 🤷‍♀️, and you're hanging out on your balcony on a lovely spring morning. It's 7:15a so everyone in your house is still sleep. Your phone isn't buzzing yet and there are minimal cars on the street. You're listening to your favorite podcast (or reading your favorite blog 😉) and enjoying that garden you've been creating on your balcony. Now, imagine if you did this every Sunday before you started your week. It isn't something you dread doing. You look forward to this. The morning fresh air + that proud feeling you have from watching something you love grow. That's the power of rituals. Chapter 7: Starting Your Ritual Journey Getting Practical Now, how do you start? It's simpler than you think. Choose a ritual that resonates most with you, like the Address Oasis body care ritual or one of the other unique practices we mentioned above. Create a serene space, set aside time, and immerse yourself. These rituals are about real, attainable self-love, not far-fetched dreams. Next, always remember why you started your ritual. Creating a body care ritual, for example, isn't about smelling good. It's about how good you feel knowing that you intentionally took that 45 minutes to an hour for yourself. It's about how good hearing "your skin feels so soft" or "damn, you smell good" makes you feel. So every time you feel like skipping your ritual for the day or allowing something else to interfere with the time you set aside for you, I want you to remember the real reason you started this ritual. Chapter 8: Your Ritual Begins Carve Your Path Your 30s are a canvas waiting for your unique masterpiece. Embrace rituals as the palette of colors that'll fill this canvas with beauty and strength. These practices are not obligations; they're self-care gifts, affirmations of your worthiness. As you embrace these rituals, remember that life isn't a checklist; it's a journey. Let these rituals be your trusted companions, walking alongside you on this incredible journey of your 30s. They're your daily doses of magic, love, and well-being, designed to keep you thriving, even amidst life's whirlwinds. READY TO CREATE RITUALS WITH YOUR BODY CARE? If this is all new to you and you'd like something to make it a little easier, you're at the right place as Address Oasis is all about ease and creating one less decision with mindful rituals. Start here with our 4-part body care ritual. Not sure which scent to choose, you can take our quick and easy scent quiz.

Turning Your Routines Into Rituals

Turning Your Routines Into Rituals

Being more mindful and intentional about the decisions and actions you take in your everyday life can feel daunting. The mere thought can send you into "yet another thing I have to do 🙄 ". That's enough to make any woman continue doing things the way she's been doing them....even if they aren't working. But what if I told you that Address Oasis is all about making one less decision? What if I told you that those daily things you're doing, washing your face, taking a shower, having your morning tea, walking your dog, all of those daily routines (habits) can be shifted into rituals? What if I told you that being more mindful about the way you complete those routines is all it takes to create your own personal rituals....your own oasis? Would that make it feel like less of a burden? Yes? Perfect! Let's talk about how we can shift those routines into rituals and why you should value being able to do that. First Things First Let's toss this idea that Rituals are just about meditating for 20 minutes, sitting in silence, reading, doing yoga etc. Because let's be honest, that way of creating a ritual isn't for everyone. At Address Oasis, we're all about you feeling seen and for us that means meeting you where you are. We understand that Rituals can look different for everyone. Our core desire is simply that you start. How do you start turning your routines into rituals? A simple shift in mindset. Let's get into the actual differences between routines and rituals. Routines vs Rituals I was at a conference a few weeks back as a Vendor for Women's History Month. A woman spoke up during the panel (she was a nail technician) and she mentioned how getting your nails done, hair done, etc aren't rituals, they're routines for most people. It's something most of us do out of habit every 2 weeks because that's how we've always done it. As soon as we're done with our service, we routinely book our next appointment. The dictionary definition of routine is: a sequence of actions regularly followed; a fixed program. Most of us are following a fixed program. It isn't mindful, it isn't intentional...it isn't a ritual. For example, taking a shower is more about getting clean for the day and checking it off your list. It's more about this idea of you being "put together" than the actual process of showering. Rarely are we actually thinking about the purpose or activity, just the outcome. Rituals are the exact opposite. The dictionary describes rituals as more ceremonial. If we think back to the shower example, this could easily turn into a ritual if we were mindful about paying attention to the experience of showering. This could be being mindful about the products we use and the ingredients in them, thinking about the effect the products will have on our skin, are we using our body scrub or skipping it, are we using really hot water or shifting to lukewarm to protect our skins barrier, and even the process of getting into the shower. What music or podcast are you listening to, are we rushing to get in and get out, what candles do we light, etc. Rituals are more about the purpose of our actions. Taking the routine but being mindful of the purpose and process will turn that routine into a ritual. Slowing down and being intentional about the journey will turn that routine into a ritual. Why Does Turning Our Routines Into Rituals Matter? When we think of the word ceremony, we think of a celebration. Rituals are celebrating getting to do life. Shifting our mindset in this way can positively affect our day-to-day life by forcing us to slow down, stay present, reduce anxiety, and romanticize all the things we take for granted. Routines and rituals are often used interchangeably, but this should now highlight the key differences between the two and why you should value creating ceremonies or rituals around these daily tasks. It isn't about adding more to your plate, it's about creating mindfulness and intention with the time you have. How To Switch Your Routines To Rituals Since we're all about body care here, I recommend you start there for shifting the routine of your shower time into a ritual. Let's focus on your body whip for example. We recommend using our triple butter body whips, our bestselling whip is Calm, if you don't love the moisturizers you're currently using. The next time you shower, follow this ritual: Leave your skin slightly damp instead of completely drying off. The purpose here is to be mindful of how long the whip and scent will last vs applying it to completely dry skin. Take a scoop of the whip into the palm of your hands and slowly rub it into your hands to warm the product to make it easier to spread and to focus on the texture of the whip. Put your palms up to your nose and deeply inhale the scent. Think about how the scents make you feel. Do they remind you of anything, a specific time, or feeling? Slowly smooth the whip onto your arms, décolletage, stomach, hips, thighs, legs, buttocks, ankles, heels, toes, and cuticles. Watch your skin transform. Head to your full-length mirror and admire how healthy, glowing, radiant, and nourished your skin appears. Smell your skin and embrace the chemistry between the scents and your natural skin smell. Isn't that much better than the usual way you "lotion yourself"? Does that feel like more tasks or does it feel like you're loving on yourself and creating a ritual? Ready To Create Rituals With Your Body Care? If this is all new to you and you'd like something to make it a little easier, you're at the right place as Address Oasis is all about ease and creating one less decision with mindful rituals. Start here with our 4-part body care ritual. Not sure which scent to choose, you can take our quick and easy scent quiz.
