A gift to yourself: 3 self-love tips from Maren Jewellery

In the hectic world we live in, we often forget to take care of ourselves. To give ourselves a gift by simply enjoying the silence, taking time for small moments like sitting down with our morning cappuccino in peace, or consciously enjoying nature on a walk.

Self-love and these moments of tranquility promote our well-being and contribute to a fulfilling life. In the following journal, I will present you with a few ideas on how to simply gift yourself in order to celebrate your own inner beauty and self-love.

Just read a book, consciously and find some peace, I think that's a relaxed idea of self-love and I have a very personal book recommendation for you: "Silence" by Erling Kagge. I read this book on my journey in the VW bus to the North Cape and discovered completely new perspectives on silence. Because when you are ready to embark on a journey into your inner self and thus to yourself, you can also find silence where it is loud. How to embark on this journey and find silence is illuminated in the book "Silence".

Forest bathing is about intentionally immersing yourself in the nature around you and trying to perceive it with all your senses. This works especially well during a relaxed and mindful walk in the woods, where people let the atmosphere sink in. This mindfulness practice originally comes from Japan. There, forest bathing is called Shinrin Yoku and roughly means “taking a bath in the atmosphere of the forest.” A walk in the woods like this also inspired me to design the Lovelines Collection. The recessed lines in the wedding ring collection’s design represent the growth of love and are inspired by the growth rings of trees. 

The peace of the forest and its relaxed atmosphere always help me come up with new ideas and unwind. Why not give it a try—maybe it will work for you too.

Why wait for others to give us gifts when we can simply treat ourselves? Especially when they are long-cherished wishes that have been carefully considered and can stay with us for a lifetime, it’s perfectly possible to indulge in something beautiful without any guilt. A piece of jewelry made from recycled gold can then serve as an active reminder to keep carving out little breaks in everyday life and to pause for a moment of self-love. In her Love Story interview with us, our lovely customer Keiko described how she discovered a love of jewelry through us and, in doing so, a whole new side of herself: 

>The longing to wear a piece of jewelry was always there. But when I got to know the concept behind Maren Jewellery, I felt the desire to give it another try. And suddenly, everything felt right. Now I feel at one with my rings and basically never take them off.< Keiko

Self-love means accepting and valuing yourself, with all your strengths and weaknesses. My jewelry pieces are meant to remind you that you are unique and precious.
