After-Work Self-Care Sensuality & Feminine Energy Routine, Rituals, Practice: How To Ideas & Tips

After-Work Self-Care Sensuality & Feminine Energy Routine.png

Today I thought it would be a good idea to create a post on my sensuality and feminine journey and share some helpful things I’ve found out along the way. This will be more focused on what I do throughout the day and after work to tap into sensuality and feminine energy. When I first started this series I got a request to discuss how to transition into more feminine energy after work is done for the day. Many people including myself are working from home especially during these times. I feel blessed to be able to work from home however it can create some interesting dynamics. It can be harder to transition from work to home life because you aren’t really changing your environment. Usually you need to commute to work via train, car or walking so there is downtime to adjust to work or adjust to coming home. As a work at home mom I have listed some of my best practices for embracing my feminine energy below.

AT WORK

When I’m at work I’ve tried to make a conscious effort to wear things that allow me to dress up at a bit more or make me feel more feminine. I try to make it something that isn’t a beat up piece of clothing. This can be difficult when you live at home and work from home because it’s easy to wear something that is most comfortable but I've been trying to add more pieces to my wardrobe that best represent me and who I want to be. If you’re interested you can watch my video from my Minimalism and Mental Health series on creating a capsule wardrobe. Through creating this capsule wardrobe I’ve naturally been adding colors that make me happy to wear them like pink, green, blue, etc. During work I may have my hair up in a ponytail or pulled back into a bun and as part of my after work transition I let my hair down so it isn’t up anymore. I also take my shoes off. I want to be barefoot because it helps me to feel more grounded and more connected to myself. On weekends I try to do a pedicure as a form of self-care so it’s nice to let my feet breathe and enjoy that. Another thing that I do after work is choose not to wear a bra. Wearing a bra is a part of being a woman but i like to take mine off because i don't want to feel contained. A part of connecting to sensual feminine energy is releasing all of the holds that have been placed on you throughout the day or throughout your experience as a woman.

MUSIC

I say that music is marvellous and that might be something you want to integrate into your life. I find it helpful when transitioning from work to home. I like to listen to relaxing music, usually it’s ChillHop on YouTube or on Pandora. While it may not directly correlate to feminine energy it does relate to getting into a relaxed state and coming back to center. Whichever music does that for you would be perfect. You may want to create a playlist that you turn on when you are done your work for the day.

ROUTINE VS. PRACTICE

Having a routine isn’t always necessary. It doesn’t need to be a routine but it can be a practice instead. A practice is more valuable than a routine because if it’s a practice you don’t worry about getting it right or wrong you simply stay in a state of practice. I want to encourage you to consider your sensual femininity as a practice instead of a routine.

When I create these videos I like putting what I recommend into practice instead of simply researching the ways to help because I want to know if the things I’m suggesting can really make a difference. Stay tuned for more videos in my Feminine Energy series including my night and check out my feminine morning routine if you haven’t already!

Self-Care & Wellness Tips For Women Entrepreneurs: Holistic Therapy Tips For Energy + Peace

March 10, 2021 Taylor Hornbeck

Today’s blog post is on a topic that really excites me! Instead of calling it time management I’d like to also refer to it as time efficiency. We can choose to manage our time but we may not be doing the things that efficiently improve our lives. Each of us experiences time, it’s always moving forward but the question is are we spending our time efficiently? I’m going to share some of my best tips to reframe your mindset around time management.

ENERGY DRAINS AND RECOVERY

We inevitably will become tired throughout parts of our days or weeks and so on. When we are tired time slows down for us so we can recover. Recovery itself is fine but we need to be mindful of how it is that we are recovering. If you would like to increase your time efficiency you will need to organize and schedule your recovery times as well as what activities you’re doing to recover. Many of my clients that I work with in my holistic therapy practice struggle with managing their time on social media. Social media is very addictive in nature so the longer we are on it, the harder it can be to get away. It can be helpful to set a timer so you don’t overdo it. Choose other activities during your recovery time that will help with your self care and are not addictive. Some of these activities may be reading a book, coloring, something artistic such as painting or sculpting, journaling or using your Holistic Self Care Planner. Even though we have certain activities that we may love to do (for me it’s soap making). These activities are easier to control the amount of time spent on them because there is a less addictive chemical spike in the brain. They make us feel good but we are able to regulate ourselves when it’s time to walk away from them.

OPTIMIZE YOUR BEDTIME AND MORNING ROUTINE

Through my own personal experience I have found this to be one of the most effective ways to manage my time and that is using your bedtime ritual to set up your morning. Using your bedtime efficiently ensures that you are set up for success the next day. At bedtime I find it helpful to write out a list of things you need to get up and do in the morning. If you create a plan for yourself ahead of time then there is less wiggle room to get off task and you can focus on getting your tasks done. It’s also satisfying to cross things off a to-do list and practice good sleep hygiene!

KEEP ACCOUNTABLE

To keep yourself motivated and on track I recommend creating an accountability system where your time management is valuable and counts for something. If we say that we want to be efficient with our time but don’t follow through it can take a toll on us. Find an accountability partner to check in with to help you manage your time. One of the things I offer for my clients as a holistic therapist is being an accountability partner for them. Alternatively you can ask a friend or a family member. Ideally this will be someone who is equally interested in changing their behaviour or building better habits. Not all of our friends and family members will hold us accountable in the ways that we need to be so it’s important to find someone who is on a similar journey and values consistency.

When I personally practice these tips or share them with my clients, it gets results because these tips work so I am offering them to you to implement in your own life. I am launching a course called Big Energy Magic; Mindset Cultivation. It is a four week intensive where we will be focusing on all of the scientifically proven tools to improve your mindset cultivation planning, habit building and goal setting. These are the tools that I have acquired over my years as a therapist and also personal practices and I’m excited to share them!

How to: 7 Day Self Care Cleanse for Wellness Recovery

August 24, 2018 Brandi Jackson

What is a Self Care Cleanse?

The 7 Day Self Care Cleanse:

Self-care is often related to self-love which, I use interchangeably to describe when individuals take time for themselves doing healthy methods of relaxing and or processing emotions. Self-care is the key to being able to say in the present.

AND, when you practice self-care you affirm your own importance and recharge your mind and body. I have some suggestions below if you would like to try my favorite methods for a 7-day self-care cleanse. Try it! You'll feel all good vibes, more energy, and a whole lotta PEACE!

For Funsies, I wanted to include a cool self-care article I found that shares more of a mental health point of view. Just click the button below to check it out!

Self Care Article

Steps for your self-care cleanse:

Try 5-10 methods for 7 days in a row!

1. Cancel your social media. Avoid using Instagram, Facebook, Youtube or other social media platforms. This includes online games and phone games and apps too. Why? Because the social media and games are connected to screens which have blue-light which can alter your ability to sleep. The social media and online or phone-based games are also designed to keep you engaged for extended periods of time and can trigger higher stress levels.

2. Check email only 1-2x per day. Why? There is a dopamine kick (a chemical reaction in your brain) that your body receives after opening email or seeing social media posts and updates. This can drive repetitive behavior creating addictive behavior patterns.

3. Meditate Daily: Aim for 5-10 minutes minimum. Meditation is key to help keep your mind refreshed and alert.

4. Ready Daily: Fuel your mind with the new. Add a new audiobook or paperback to your reading session.

5. Exercise Daily: Exercise for 20-30 minutes every day and remember walks count.

6. Foster Quality Time: Spend time with your family and friends. Call instead of texting. Create a connection.

7. Eat Clean: Eat healthily and you will feel healthy. Find healthy treats to replace junk food cravings, then you don't have to miss out or feel that sluggish post junk food feeling.

8. Hydrate Daily: Drink 8-10 glasses of water per day. The medical recommendation for daily hydration is half your body weight in ounces per day. Add 8-16 ounces if you drink caffeine.

9. Journal Daily: Clear your mind by putting your thoughts and goals on paper. You will notice improved emotional health from journaling when your feeling sad or upset because as you think and write down your thoughts, you get to process your emotions at the same time!

10. Wear Clothes that make you happy: Dress like your here to inspire yourself. When we dress down we might feel less visible. Feeling invisible can be a bummer. Wear the clothes that make you feel confident and beautiful.

Let me know if you give this 7-Day Self Care Cleanse a try! Watch the 2 part video series below to find out how I felt before and after completing the 7 Day self-care Cleanse also known as 7DSCC.
