A lot of you may know me and my bedridden posts from my main blog, @heatherwitch. For those of you who don’t: I’m both mentally and chronically ill and do a majority of my worship to Hestia from my bed!
- Burn a candle on your nightstand, or use an electronic one!
- Open your curtains and let the sunlight warm the room.
- Make a potful of tea and keep it in a large thermos.
- Watch movies that make you feel nostalgic and cozy.
- Make a spray that smells yummy and use it when things feel a bit stale.
- Set aside time to read a good book.
- Knit or crochet. Craft something with your hands.
- Say goodnight and good morning to her.
- Get an electric blanket and feel the warmth connect you to her.
- Cuddle with pets if you have them (or a stuffed animal).
- Make a blog/journal filled with cozy, homely things.
- Keep a few locally baked goodies nearby for when you need them.
- String up fairy lights and use them as your only light source.
- Whisper prayers and devotional pieces before you go to sleep.
- Use a Himalayan salt lamp to connect to feeling of a fire.
- Invest in little things (pillowcases, photos, curtains, etc.) that make your room feel welcoming and peaceful.
- Make a little bottle filled with herbs, crystals, and other things that remind you of her, and keep it near – like a portable altar!
- Listen to music that makes your soul happy and your heart content.
- Take care of yourself. Brush your hair, use a wet cloth on your face. Be gentle and kind to yourself.
