One Step at a Time Candle | Anxiety Candle | Lavender, Eucalyptus

Ah, anxiety, that nice little voice (lol) that never stops opening its mouth, even when you just want a moment of peace! Have you ever been told to be more "zen" when, in your head, it's a fucking concert of intrusive thoughts non-stop? Don't panic, girl, you're not alone.

Because let's be honest: there are days when your head is a boardroom in chaos, where every thought wants its place, its moment of glory, its turn to speak. You want to be left alone, but your worries with your boyfriend, your best friend, your meeting next week, and even that awkward thing you said three years ago give you no respite. Welcome to overthinking, that wonderful ability to make up stories without even a script.

Because yes, stress, doubts, moments when everything seems too much, they exist, and it's ok . No need to feel bad about having your heart beating a little too fast for things that others call "little nothings". Spoiler: they've never lived in your head, so their "stop stressing, it's nothing" you know very well where they're going.

Because I know what it's like to have your brain working overtime, to drown in glasses of water that look like oceans. The whole world is screaming at you to move on, especially to stop stressing over nothing, to stop putting pressure on yourself, and meanwhile, you're struggling to get out of bed or even take a deep breath. Spoiler again: it's okay, everything always works out in the end, girl.

Because let's be honest, anxiety isn't something you pick up like a new hobby. It's a sometimes invasive companion, making simple choices a challenge, and putting mountains where there were only hills. But know that it's okay not to move at the same pace as everyone else, and especially to stop comparing yourself to those who, apparently, have never heard of stress or existential doubts. Okay , your neighbors seem to be climbing mountains without even breaking a sweat, but you know what? You never know what other people are really going through. Maybe they're also fighting their own demons, their own mountains, just in a different way. So, let go of the impossible standards and remember: each to their own time, each to their own pace .

So, use this candle to wrap yourself in softness and remind yourself that you're doing your best, even if your best sometimes looks like just... holding on. We're not going to tell you that it will go away, that the pressure will suddenly evaporate. But little by little, things will get better, you'll see, it will. One step at a time.
