(BPT) – Your well-being is a priority no matter your age, but the busier life gets, the more self-care is often overlooked for other to-do’s. In 2022, there’s a growing movement to refocus on the importance of self-care and incorporate things that bring comfort into your daily routine.
Start shifting your self-care mindset by creating daily rituals that matter to you. Once you carve out time for small moments that matter, you may find yourself happier, calmer and less stressed. It’s important to remember that self-care isn’t selfish; it’s how you can help yourself feel balanced so you can ultimately be your best.
What’s more, self-care doesn’t have to be complicated. Maybe it’s starting your day with prayer or meditation. Perhaps it’s making time after work for a favorite hobby. At night, it could be a relaxing shower or reading before bed. On the weekends, you might make time to move your body by walking through a local park or taking a yoga class.
Food and drinks are also a big part of self-care, especially when they’re wholesome and nutritious. Moon milks are the perfect example, mentioned as a top three beverage trend of 2022 by Mintel Group. Indulgent and delicious, moon milks are steeped in ayurveda, one of the world’s oldest holistic healing systems.
Organic Moon Milks by Clover Sonoma makes it easy to enjoy this nutritious and healthful drink every day, because you can simply stock your favorite flavors in your fridge. Each unique blend includes 2% organic milk, herbs and spices to help the body respond to physical and emotional stressors. The infused soothing botanicals help promote relaxation and wellness no matter the time of day.
These colorful drinks delight the eyes as much as they do the palate, making them ideal for self-care rituals. Organic Moon Milks by Clover Sonoma comes in three flavors: Blue Moon (Blueberry Lavender), Pink Moon (Cherry Berry Hibiscus) and Golden Moon (Turmeric Ginger). Make time for yourself by enjoying a chilled cup of moon milk in the morning or a warm mug at the end of a long day. You can also explore creative recipes, such as this colorful, tasty smoothie bowl:
