A 5 Minute Self Care Routine to Soothe Your Spirit

A 5 Minute Self Care Routine to Soothe Your Spirit

Because peace should feel like home.


May is Mental Health Awareness Month—a time to check in, slow down, and prioritize our inner well-being. At Kindred Spirit Candle Company, we believe that even a few intentional minutes can transform your mood, your day, and your space.


Here’s a 5-minute self-care routine designed to bring you back to center, featuring comforting scents and grounding energy.



1. Light Your Intention (1 minute)


Choose a candle that meets your mood—one that supports how you want to feel right now.


Try:

Jamaica Please  – to find calm after a chaotic day

White Sage + Lavender – for mental clarity and peace

Cereal Milk – if you’re craving nostalgic comfort


As the flame flickers to life, take one deep breath. Let that be your reset.



2. Ground in Gratitude (1 minute)


While your candle fills the room with scent, place your hand over your heart and think of one thing you’re grateful for—no matter how small.

A soft blanket. A phone call. A moment of quiet. A scent that makes you feel safe. Let it sink in.



3. Stretch or Stillness (2 minutes)


Choose what your body craves:

A simple stretch, arms overhead, shoulder rolls, side bends

Or sit in stillness with your eyes closed and your breath steady


Let the candle create the atmosphere. Let your space become a sanctuary.



4. Anchor with an Affirmation (1 minute)


Say this aloud or whisper it to yourself:


“I honor my need for rest, and I welcome calm into my life.”


Or create your own. Something simple, true, and soft.



Need More Than 5 Minutes?


Let it expand. Journaling. A cup of tea. A longer stretch. A bath. This is your time.


And if your space needs a little extra love, explore our Candles to find scents that support your spirit every day.



Because comfort isn’t a luxury—it’s a need. And you deserve to feel at home in your mind, body, and space.


Warmly,

Monique
