Self-Care tip #11 – Buy Yourself Flowers

Could this tip, buy yourself flowers, be any timelier, give that Miley Cyrus’s ‘Flowers‘ came out just a couple of weeks ago? I personally love this.

(And also, what is the t that florists are doing great business right now? I hope they’re smashing it!)

This is going to be a real quick post. Does buying yourself flowers count as self-care by actively promoting your own health and helps regulate your nervous system so that you can recharge mentally and emotionally? Nope. Is it an amazingly nice thing to do for yourself? You bet your cute tush it is.

In fact, this was on my self-care list for a good couple of years. It was my dream that when I moved into my own place that I would buy fresh flowers from the local florist each week, and they would make me happy each time I looked at them. I had the vase ready to go and everything.

It literally never happened.

I never bought a bouquet.

I simply couldn’t afford them!

Buying yourself flowers is a beautiful idea, and if you have the capability to do so, I hope you enjoy every second of your bouquet. For me, doing something else on the list like going for a walk-in nature ticks the same boxes, but with a much more manageable price-tag.

To end this short post, I don’t consider buying flowers to be self-care, just avery nice thing to do. And I still really hope that one day I will have fresh flowers filling my house #lifegoals
