Slowing Down & Creating Magical Self-Care Moments | Empower Hour
In a world that constantly asks us to rush, do more, and give endlessly, slowing down can feel uncomfortable and unfamiliar.
This week inside my Empower Hour, we explored:
✨ The power of slowing down
✨ The beauty of magical self-care moments
✨ And how to anchor back into ourselves with simple self checkins
Why We Need to Slow Down
We started with a question:
What makes it hard to slow down?
For many midlife women, life is full of caring for others, navigating transitions, and constantly holding space. When we pause… something magical happens.
We remember who we are.
“Almost everything will work again if you unplug it for a few minutes… including you.”
— Anne Lamott
✨ What Is a Magical Self-Care Moment?
Self-care doesn’t have to be hours of spa time or a perfect morning routine. It’s about intentionality.
One small act… done with love.
Here are some gentle, magical ideas to inspire you:
A warm cup of tea in silence
Standing barefoot on the grass
Diffusing or applying essential oils with intention
Journaling to soft music by candlelight
Slow body brushing or applying oil to your skin with love
Lying on the floor, legs up the wall, breathing deeply
🪄 Ask yourself: What would a 5-minute magical moment look like for me today?
Essential Oils as Emotional Anchors
Essential oils can help you pause and feel. They support our body and emotions in the most beautiful, gentle way.
These are a few of my favourites for creating sacred moments:
Lavender – Stillness, calm, deep exhale
Balance – Grounding, support, presence
Frankincense – Connection, reflection, deep self-honouring
✨ Intention to pair with your oil:
“I am allowed to pause. I am allowed to receive. I am allowed to feel good.”
Affirmation:
“I give myself permission to slow down and receive what I need.”
Journal Prompt:
What is one small, magical self-care moment I can gift myself today?
A Final Lve Note
You don’t need to change everything, just add in a few quiet magical moments.
One breath. One drop. One gentle pause at a time.
