Remember to take care of YOU, mama
Even today, she consistently encourages me to care for my holistic well-being.
What does your holistic well-being include:
Emotional Health
Financial Health
Spiritual Health
Physical Health
Mental Health
Sexual Health
1. Eating healthy.
Meaning more raw veggies and less processed foods).
Living in a food-insecure area might mean consuming frozen veggies or veggie juices without added sugars.
Maximize whatever resources are available to you.
2. Caring for your mental.
Keeping your stress levels low and nurturing your mental health – considering we tend to take on many responsibilities in life, at home, and in the workplace is critical.
Added stress can perpetuate unnecessary weight gain and emotional eating, frequently leading to compromised health and weight gain.
3. Stay on top of your health.
Actively monitor your weight and critical numbers.
More weight can add pressure to the heart and body, and you and your doctor need to figure out what that healthy weight looks like for you.
4. Getting regular doctor visits in.
Similar to #3.
Head to the dentist.
Get your physical.
Get all of your annuals and ensure everything is good to go. If something doesn’t feel right or feels off, check it out.
5. Drinking less alcohol and more water.
6. Consistently stay active by working out.
7. Avoid toxic and unhealthy relationships and friendships.
