As I sit here, awaiting this baby boy to come... literally any day... I can't help but think about self-care.
Not just any self-care... the kind that takes minimal effort + time with maximum results. Why? ...because entering life with a new baby (again) means self-care naturally slides down the list or off of it completely.
So, I'm sharing the fastest way to better self-care results (because this is as much as a tip for you as a reminder for me).
*Below is my quick reference guide for you to keep in mind. Write on your mirror or screen shot it with your phone.
OK, now for the real question...
"Which one of these self-care categories gives the most juice for the squeeze?"
Lightening Your Toxic Load is by far the most impactful + easiest to do right away because it's the only self-care category that doesn't require new habits, changing your lifestyle, or any effort.
It's really a 3-in-1! #deal
The Deets: By removing toxins, your skin gets healthier, more attractive + begins to repair itself, while your physical + mental health improves AND your ability to fight off infection, diseases or viruses dramatically improves!
How?!
Toxins force your cells into overdrive, putting both brain + body into a continuous state of defense vs. being able to rejuvenate, proactively improve + reap the benefits of a clean system (a.k.a. glowing skin + healthy immune system all year long).
Your skin is your largest organ and also your largest detoxifier.
Let's optimize it's function so your cells don't have to waste sooo much energy just trying to get to a bare minimum base-line level.
*Health Coaching Tip: Especially during unusually strange times (ahhhem, 2020) it's important to give yourself grace. Recognize that acquiring new healthy food or exercise habits in the last quarter of this year can be more stressful than helpful. I help clients (and myself) find the highest impactful change they can make that will be easiest to accomplish.
Key Takeaway: Seeing + Feeling Results Quickly = Key to Successful Health Outcomes. You're more likely to continue healthier habits once you see a bit of real success and positive change.
Did you screen shot the checklist yet?
Give yourself + your entire family the biggest return on your investment (pets included) by reducing everyone’s toxic-load.
*ALERT: There hasn't been a federal law passed since 1938 to protect us from harmful chemicals in our personal care + cleaning products.
All of those man-made chemicals (more than 80,000 in the US) are completely legal to dump into our deodorants, makeup, skincare, hair products, hand soaps, yes, hand sanitizers, baby products, and of course all cleaning products we use to wipe off our kitchen counters + floors. The US only bans 30 toxic chemicals, while the EU bans 1,600! How is that OK to poison Americans, holding manufacturers to lower standards when it comes to our health? It's not!
But, who has time to do the leg-work to find the safer, healthier products that are highly-effective?
I do. 🙋🏻♀️ (It's a passion + mission of mine to make safer products accessible to YOU.)
