wouldn ’ t be disturbed . Eventually , in the depths of my sleep deprivation , I started to shift my focus to making changes . I had to stop chasing solutions , and be my own solution .
Baths were always therapeutic for me , but I lacked a structured routine or ritual that combined relaxation with wellness and mindfulness . So I started there . I began meditating while taking a 20-minute , warm salty soak with essential oils . The holistic impact on my body and spirit was astonishing , and this had big payoffs in every facet of my life . ( Hello , better sleep , bye-bye stress , anxiety , aches , pains , and mind clutter .) I knew at the moment that I didn ’ t need any external source to plug into for my dose of positive vibes , it was within me . My tub became my sacred space , readily available to restore balance , to ground me , and to completely recharge me -- body , mind , and spirit . How badass is that ?! circulation , and much more . But the best part is , a mindful soak ritual like this allows you to take control of your own life , to quiet your mind , and live life more fully , and presently …. Like the badass you are .
