PAMPERING AS A MOOD BOOSTER
It is sad to say but many women sometimes feel selfish when they take the time to love and pamper themselves, simply because of the stigma behind our cultural beliefs as a society. However, women should reflect on how much more balanced they feel physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually after making the space to indulge in self-care practices. If this is you, you may have come to realize that pampering yourself often is not even remotely selfish. It is essential. It is a great restorative practice that naturally boosts your energy and mood. This in turn allows you to show up in the world fully from a nourished place. The first step to healing is to nourish thyself using healthy and holistic remedies.
Life has so many ups and downs, challenges, and difficulties along the way that even a person who generally feels happy and confident in their lives can sometimes feel discouraged. A happy person is a healthy confident person, and vice versa. So, what can we do in order to reduce the stress and overwhelm in our lives? Invest in daily self-care practices.
Instead of relying on a large glass of wine, a gallon of ice cream, or another vice of your choice, use stress to serve as a biological reminder that it’s time for you to nourish yourself again. Dedicate time on your calendar solely for pampering yourself throughout the month. Make this block of time non-negotiable, and fill it with activities that restore you and bring you peace and joy. Create the healthy lifestyle you are looking to cultivate long-term by making this commitment more like a ritual for yourself.
Perhaps you take a long walk, or a warm bath using organic essential oils and salts while listening to calming music. Maybe you pick up a leisurely book to read, or invest in massages and organic facials? Listen to your body, it will tell and show you what it needs. Also, detoxing your body with colon hydrotherapy, oxygen therapy, infrared sauna, vaginal steams, and ionic foot detoxes assist in removing a lot of the harmful waste, toxins, and chemicals that are physically weighing us down! You will find over time that investing in a holistic self-care practice will significantly change your quality of life.
Nourishing yourself through various healing modalities, and shifting your mindset to a place of positivity and love will give you the upliftment you need to show up in the world from a full place. Your difficulties or troubles may not go away, but when you are fully nourished and rejuvenated, your body, mind, and spirit are in harmony allowing you to easily flow alongside life with much more ease and peace.
