VITAMINS THAT SUPPORT YOUR BEST LIFE™
VITAMINS THAT SUPPORT YOUR BEST LIFE™
Many times in life, we put ourselves second to the things or the people they love. Be it the job or responsibilities at home like cooking, cleaning or taking care of the household, we often tend to forget that they have another person to take care of. The person that usually falls short of being taken care of is their own self, a strong force that is still standing on her two feet, walking with the world on her shoulders but slowly fading into hindsight and allowing their own personal needs to be neglected. But how are you supposed to take care of others; children, significant others, family, friends, etc. when you’re not first taken care of yourself first?
Self-care is you taking responsibility for your own needs and taking the time out to invest in yourself. It is not selfish, it is a necessity. When self-care isn’t a priority, it will build up negative feelings inside you that if not taken care of right away can lead to depression.
Start with your mental health and self-care. Be your own best friend. Indulge yourself in things you love, be it a good book, making food or just driving alone in the rain with a nice cup of coffee or hot chocolate.
Paint, watch your favorite movies, meditate, set goals for yourself each day and achieve them. Put up small notes on your walls with motivational messages. Tell yourself that you are beautiful. Remind yourself of at least 5 good things about you, every day. Help an animal or the needy. Let yourself feel good spiritually.
Everything from exercise, sleep, sexual life to getting regular checkups at the doctor and dentist, is physical care. When you don’t take care of your body, your mind starts deteriorating too. People who don’t exercise, tend to be more depressed than those who do exercise. Movement produces endorphins in your body that keep your mood happy. Take care of your skin, drink plenty of water, and use organic products when you can.
