How to Make a Self Care Box

Creating a self-care box can be a great way to make sure you have access to items that will help you relax and recenter. Taking the time to create a box with items that bring you comfort, can help you relieve stress and maintain a healthy mental health. Follow these steps to make your own box.

Steps

  1. Gather items for your self-care box. This can include items such as puzzles or books, essential oils, music, coloring tools, or other items that help you relax. Think of items that will make you feel cozy and relaxed, then select a few of them to add to your box.
  2. Choose something to use as a vessel for your self-care box. This could be an empty box, a wooden chest, a basket, or whatever else you can find. Make sure it is large enough to store all the items you plan to include.
  3. Fill your chosen vessel with the items you've selected. Place the items in an organized way that makes their location easy to remember.
  4. Decorate your self-care box with colors, quotes, and illustrations. This allows the container to be visually appealing and demonstrate what items it holds when closed.
  5. Add a small sign or note to your box as a reminder of its purpose. Write an inspiring quote or phrase that serves as an encouragement for you to use the box when needed.
  6. Place the box near a comfortable area in your home. Make sure it is in a place where it won't get disturbed and you can easily access it when needed.

Whenever you need a break from the world, pause and use your self-care box to take a moment for yourself. Taking time for yourself can help restore and refocus your energy and wellbeing.
