Rituales to Bookmark for the Next Breakdown

Let’s talk about the version of you who doesn’t feel like doing anything.

The one crying in the car after a meeting. The one staring at the ceiling because the weight in your chest won’t lift. The one scrolling for comfort but nothing feels right. She exists. And she matters.

We always talk about skincare as part of your glow-up. But what about the breakdown?

What about the days where brushing your teeth felt like a win? The moments where you put on a serum not because you had time—but because you needed to feel something?

That’s where the real rituales live.

Why we need rituales when everything falls apart

Because chaos strips you down. Because breakdowns dissolve your routine, your optimism, and your sense of control. But a ritual? A rituael doesn’t demand perfection.

It’s not a to-do list.
It’s not self-improvement.
It’s a soft place to land.

Even when your world is loud, overwhelming, or numb, your Good Rituale is still there.

Your Breakdown Backup List

Save these. For next time.

🧴 1. Blue Tansy Oil + Deep Breathing in Bed
No expectations. Just a drop on your palm. Rub slowly. Inhale like it’s oxygen. It is.

🎧 2. “I’m Not Okay” Playlist + a Warm Shower
Turn the volume up. Let it all rise and rinse off. You don’t have to fix anything right now.

📓 3. Journaling (Or Just Scribbling) with a Face Mist Nearby
Write. Rant. Rip the page out. Mist your face afterward. It’s the symbolic reset your brain needed.

📱 4. 3-Minute Screen Detox + Moisturizer Application
Put the phone down. Apply moisturizer like it’s an apology. You don’t need the world right now. You need you.

🕯 5. Saying "No" and Logging Off
Your Good Rituale might be boundaries. Might be disappearing for a bit. That counts too.

You are not broken for breaking down

Sometimes your greatest act of healing is choosing the smallest act of care.
Even if that care looks like crying with a facemask on.
Even if it’s skipping your 5-step routine and just misting your face.

Whatever your next breakdown looks like—you already have a rituale waiting for you.
