A Healthy Lifestyle Starts & Ends With Self-Care

Your health and wellbeing are fundamental to living a happy, positive life. If you’re not taking care of yourself, how can you be sure that you’re going to enjoy living the life that you’ve been given? Taking care of yourself isn’t always bubble baths and a book, it’s also making sure that you’re eating a well-balanced diet, drinking plenty of water, brushing your teeth, and remembering to scrub behind the ears. All of these things might seem basic enough, but are you actually taking your time with them? Or are you rushing through it to get it over with?

Self-care should be something that you take your time with and enjoy, not something that you do because you feel like you have to. Wake up a little earlier if you must in order to actually enjoy yourself. Trust me, having a little extra time to yourself in the morning can really help set the mood for the day. Take your time in the shower, take your time shaving, take your time with your skincare. Everything starts to feel so much better when you can take your time with something and not feel rushed to get everything done.

We all need to set aside time to care for ourselves every day. When you can take several minutes to yourself, to do something that makes you feel better and happier, your mood will lift, you’ll feel better about yourself and your life, and you’ll be happier overall! We all need time to ourselves to reset and reflect, and we should take our time with it. You’ll always feel better after doing something for yourself, even if it’s drinking a glass of water. Being mindful of the fact that you’re nourishing your body with liquids and whole foods, and taking care of your skin and hair, is just one step towards a happier, healthier life. Take the time to enjoy the foods you’re eating, to enjoy that hot shower, and notice how you feel afterwards. I’ll bet you’ll feel better if you take the time to appreciate the kind things you’re doing for yourself, rather than simply running through the motions of the day-to-day.

Living a healthy lifestyle starts and ends with self-care. If you’re not putting in the time to care for yourself, what does that say about the other aspects of your life? Are you taking care of your work? Your family? Your finances? Self-care is the start of it all! You can’t pour from an empty cup, as the saying goes. Make sure you’re putting aside the time for you and your needs, and slow down. Take your time with yourself and your self-care. Try your best to remember to slow down in life, and really take the time to enjoy and appreciate the time to yourself whenever you get it. You’ll thank yourself later.

Let Go of the Past and Embrace Change

Leave the past in the past! You won’t progress in life if you’re dragging old habits around with you. If you keep trying the same thing over and over again, and you’re not getting the results that you want, maybe it’s time to try something new. T hink of it like diet and exercise. Some diets won't work for you, just like some exercises work better for other people than they will for you. It’s all about figuring out what works, rather than doing the same old thing and becoming disappointed every time you don’t get results. In order to move forward in your life, you need to learn to embrace change. Sometimes, you can get so caught up in sticking with the things that you know, that you wind up afraid of venturing out of your comfort zone. It’s easy to stay with what’s familiar, but you have to learn to let go of familiarity and let yourself embrace the new and the unknown. You need to allow yourself to be open to new ideas and new ways of thinking. You're stuck where you are righ...

Don't Allow Your Fears To Control Your Life

Everyone has something that they are afraid of—you, me, everyone! It’s not shameful to have these fears, but you shouldn’t allow them to take precedent over your life. Things only have power over you because you give them that power. If your fears are starting to hold you back from living the life that you want, then you need to rethink how you view those fears and learn to break past them in order to move on. Your limitations are only limitations because you allow them to be. You are capable of so much more than you give yourself credit for, so don’t allow yourself to be brought down by your fears just because you’re worried that you won’t be able to overcome them. You can do anything that you put your mind to, and if that involves overcoming your fears, then you will be able to do just that! When you choose to avoid your fears and not face them, you open yourself up to even more fear, as well as limitations on your abilities. Facing your fears allows you to break free of the restrict...
