Do you sometimes feel like you’re in a hamster wheel? You find yourself running from thing to thing and place to place, checking off boxes on your to do list but seemingly never making much headway. What if I told you that you should also be scheduling regular *you* time? Time for self-care and renewal. Are you thinking, “HOW?!??” You might feel like you are scheduled to the max and can’t possibly fit ONE more thing into your over busy life. As women, I think it comes prewired in our DNA to go and do and be all the things to all the people and we put ourselves on the back burner. But self-care doesn’t have to be a big, grand event. Little things will add up over time. Don’t believe me? Read on!
Self care is defined as this:
“any activity that we do deliberately in order to take care of our mental, emotional, and physical health.”
Taking care of ourselves enables us to take better care of those around us. When we are overworked, over tired, and otherwise over extended, we can’t effectively serve. Self-care will not look the same for every person. For example, you shouldn’t go to a coffee shop for coffee if you don’t even like it! Self-care can be as simple as taking your vitamins regularly! You may be someone who takes supplements on a regular basis (high five!) but for some of us taking our vitamins and other supplements can be a challenge. Life gets busy or we aren’t a fan of taking pills, there could be a number of reasons. But consistently taking daily vitamin supplements like doTERRA’s Lifelong Vitality Pack acts as a big check mark in my self-care column. Why? Because they are formulated to work with your body and provide essential nutrients that help your body function better. I find that I don’t get as tired in the afternoon, that I have better sleep patterns, I am more emotionally grounded and I just feel better all the way around!
The Lifelong Vitality pack from doTERRA is made up of three core products.
- Alpha CRS+ – the cellular vitality complex supports healthy cell function and a healthy response to oxidative stress. It also can support healthy cellular immune function and mental clarity and brain function.
- xEO Mega – the essential oil omega complex provides you with the daily recommended dose of omega fatty acids. These essential fatty acids (EFAs) support joint, cardiovascular, and brain health, and support healthy immune function.
- Microplex VMz – the food nutrient complex, is a broad spectrum of vitamins and minerals that are often missing from our daily diets. This food nutrient formula provides 22 essential vitamins and minerals to support normal growth, function, and maintenance of cells. It’s like eating a lot of fruits and vegetables!
