In this hurried and stressful life we
live in we forget to take care of the most important person,
yourself. You hurry from one thing to another eating unhealthy foods,
not exercising or taking care of your body. We forget that if our
health is poor we cannot help or support our families and we cannot
fulfill our mission in this world.
There are many things you can do that
do not take that much time. Start with gratitude. It is said that
gratitude with increase your frequency, to a frequency closer to
love. Before you get out of bed in the morning or while you are
getting ready to go to work in the morning, give thanks to everything
good in your life. This could be having a roof over your head, having
food to eat, being grateful for your family or animals, the bed you
slept on, waking up and having another day in this world, etcetera. You will start seeing life in a totally different way.
Relaxation is also lacking in our
society, we are always rushing from one place to another. Your stress
hormones are always in high gear causing havoc with your body. Relaxation
is needed to reduce these stress hormones and their effects on our
body. One way to relax is by meditation or
prayer. All it takes is at least 5 minutes a day working toward at
least 20-30 minutes twice a day. There is no special position
required to meditate, just relax your body and refocus from your
surroundings. Many people have a mantra, something they repeat to
keep out other thoughts in their brain, or they focus on their
breathing. For some people praying is like meditation, they are
focused in their talk with God and the love they share. Your
body will be relaxed, your blood pressure will be lower and you will
be happier.
A bath with salts and essential oils is
another way to relax and take time for your self. It will relax your
muscles and make you less tense. Using epsom salt in your bath will
help replenish the magnesium in your body that most Americans are low
in. Using lavender as the essential oil will also help you relax, it
is also good during this time of the year against ticks, mosquitoes
and fleas.
These are just a few of the self caring
changes you can make to improve your health and your life as well as
that of your family. I will give you some more suggestions in my
next blog. Wishing you a magnificent day.
