Self-care comes in many forms. For some, it's exercise and meditating that helps them feel centered. For others, it's eating well or the act of cooking that nourishes their mind and body. Sometimes it can be something as simple as taking a bath. Whatever activity works for you is great and you should absolutely keep doing it. But what if you could take self-care from being less about what you do and more of a space in which you live.

The reason most of us don't regularly indulge in self-care -- and it's considered a treat when we do -- is because it takes time. It's extra effort many of us, quite frankly, don't always feel like putting in, even when we should. That's why we're taking the focus off of things to do and placing it on things to have in your home so that it's always a space of self-care. With the majority of us spending more time in the house for the foreseeable future, it's more important than ever to keep the place in which you now work, eat, sleep, and live your own personal sanctuary 24/7. Here are a few things to add to your space to do just that.

When Mercury is in retrograde, miscommunications and misdirections are more likely; however, this isn’t the time to fear where you are headed; it’s more about looking at things from a different perspective right now.

This Is How To Keep Your Family From Driving You Crazy Over The Holidays

I promise you that if my friend wouldn’t have a complete fit for putting her full government name in the title of this piece, I would have — ‘cause y’all, if there is one person I know who, I have to mentally prep myself to hear vent around this time of year, it’s her. What it all boils down to is she’s not really much of a fan when it comes to the holidays.

Not because she doesn’t like them; it’s because her family (and her husband’s family) pretty much suck when it comes to respecting boundaries, not saying any and everything that immediately comes to their minds and not picking up on cues that they have come extremely close to wearing out their welcome. And since this has always been the case, my friend damn near freaks out at the mere thought of what Thanksgiving and Christmas will bring into her life via her relatives.
