Self Care : Why Is It Important
Self Care is the latest buzz word in the wellness industry.
But what does it really mean?
Upon further discussions with experts is my friends, self care is the ability to unplug from life's daily demands.
As one person told me with this world of uncertainty the only thing we can control is how we feel in our bodies.
Then question remains do we just do anything we want because it makes feel good?
The answer is NO, self care is all about taking care of your physical self so you don't end up with a chronic illness such as diabetes, hypertension, anxiety, etc.
Some of the ways of unplugging are to
1. Get enough rest! When you don't sleep you are depriving yourself of vital oxygen to the brain and the ability to produce red blood cells which carry iron through out the body.
2.You are prone to anxiety and depression when you don't get enough sleep.
3.Unplug from the TV, if you constantly watch the news, murder mystery and don't break up your programming then you are prone to feel helpless, which can contribute to depression.
4. Walking is the best form of exercise and it makes you feel great. For me walking clears my mind and allows me to think clearly.
5. Eating healthy, there are moments where we all want to grab that bag of chips and plow through it.
But, suppose if there is an alternative, what about having chocolate pudding with toasted coconut, made from avocado, banana, cocoa powder and coconut milk.
6. Beauty always load up on the best products, for hydration it is Almond Shower Gel by L'Occitane, Cherry Blossom by Sakura Collection of Rituals.
7. Scents for your home constantly have citrus scents throughout your home they are calming and citrus scents have a way of lowering blood pressure and reducing anxiety.
8. This is the most important avoid toxic people, people who constantly complain, competitive, and always looking for a verbal argument.
Truly leave those people alone!!
So that is what self care means to us at Positivexpert and we hope that you practice it in your own corner of life.
Cheers!
