Self-care: discover your superpower for everyday life!

Self-care in the Neflental - your superpower for everyday life

A new day begins in the Neflental, but the world is still under the silent spell of Blütenwacht. Mist envelops the valley floor like a soft blanket. Cherry and violet blossoms adorn the old, mossy trees. Everything looks like a painting in pastel pink, lilac, emerald green and pearl white. Rosa Periwinkle wakes up early. She breathes deeply of the cool air and senses how alive she feels.

The cobwebs in the dew glisten in the morning, while in the background small, shadowy mythical creatures flit quietly and nimbly through the colourful undergrowth. Rosa Periwinkle closes her eyes briefly and listens. She hears soft whispers among the leaves and the distant babbling of the stream.

The discovery of superpower in everyday life

Rosa Periwinkle's heart beats a little faster this morning. A great adventure awaits her today. She wants to explore the new path along Moonlight Lane. Moonlight Lane is a narrow forest path on which the light of the full moon dances in silver flecks. The path winds through the tall grass, past bushes full of sparkling dewdrops. Rosa Periwinkle knows that she has to take good care of herself today, because the path is unfamiliar.

Rosa Immergrün takes her time. She stops, marvels at the flowers along the path and puts her hand over her heart. "How do I feel today?" she asks herself quietly. She realises that there is still a little tiredness in her limbs, but a tingling of anticipation is spreading.
She smiles: "I'm ready, but I want to be kind to myself."

Take a breath and pause for thought

The path leads under large trees whose branches reach long and mossy into the valley. Here the moonlight shines on the ground and bathes everything in a soft light. Rosa Periwinkle stops and breathes in and out deeply. She can feel the air getting fresher. At this moment, she feels her own strength. Not because she is running fast. She feels her superpower because she takes her time and listens to herself.

A little mythical bird flutters onto a branch. It looks at Rosa Periwinkle with glittering eyes and chirps happily. Rosa Periwinkle is delighted by the encounter and calls out: "Do you know my little secret? I can take care of myself. That makes me strong!" The bird turns a few circles and disappears into the morning mist.

Taking care of yourself together

A few steps further on, Rosa Periwinkle meets her friends. They greet each other with a friendly smile. They talk about their plans for the day and how it is sometimes important to take a break. They make sure to eat breakfast together and listen to each other.

Sometimes they ask each other: "How are you today?" and wait for the answer. They learn from each other. They learn that self-care doesn't always mean doing something big. A brief moment of peace and quiet or a friendly conversation is often enough. Rosa Immergrün feels the strength growing inside her.

The Neflental reminds us of the superpower

The blossoms of the cherry and violet trees exude a delicate fragrance. The colours of the morning intensify. In the light mist, everything seems like a dream. Rosa Immergrün knows: every day in the Neflental is different. Every day offers new opportunities. She discovers that she can listen to herself every day. She can rest when she is exhausted. She can boldly break new ground when she feels ready.

Self-care has become Rosa's superpower. She shows it to her friends. She discovers it in mindful walking, deep breathing and a friendly smile.
