Empowering Ourselves Through Self-Care
Are you drowning in daily stress? Do you often forget your own needs while playing superhero for everyone else? Do you often wish you had a medicine cabinet of more natural less chemical? What holds you back in your health? Taking charge of our health is a lot like trying to herd cats—challenging but ultimately rewarding - and once you start your journey it can be a tonne of fun and ultimately prevent many issues before they start!
Self-care isn’t just about treating yourself to that fancy coffee or binging your favorite show (though those are crucial, too). It’s a holistic approach to keeping your mind, body, and spirit in harmony—kind of like a well-rehearsed dance routine, but without the embarrassing TikTok video. Self care does take some education but hey just make a start on one thing at a time like I did and over time you will be glad you did. It's like having a holistic medicine cabinet via healthy habit stacking throughout your home and that prevents things happening so even if they do happen your are prepared with on hand tools. Good to go.
Here are some self-care strategies to help you strut your stuff:
- Establish a consistent sleep schedule—set up your sleep sanctuary - No TV or devices and install a diffuser and sleep like a log.
- Add mindfulness practices like Shinrin Yoku (forest bathing). prayer/meditation or yoga to your routine. (Just don’t fall asleep in yoga; that’s a beginner's mistake!)
- Keep a balanced diet. Sorry but no - pizza does not count as a food group, maybe you can add some veggies but learning where to get good nutrient support is paramount these days.
- Make time for hobbies you love, whether it’s cooking, DIY of any sort, bird-watching, or even forest bathing either in the forest or at home. Learn more about forest bathing here with this podcast.
- Connect with a community that shares your health goals—preferably one that also appreciates you just being you.
Preventative Informed Self-Care
Are you in tune with what’s going on in your body? Have you ever considered how tiny daily choices could lead to major changes? (Like that time you decided to switch from donuts to…well, slightly fewer donuts.) Or do you often wish you could tap into that magic sauce of health remedies that are not loaded with side effects or chemicals?
Preventative care is like having a superhero cape for your health—stopping problems before they can even think about showing up!

Essential Oils in Your Daily Routine
Did you know you can sneak essential oils into your life without anyone noticing? It’s like adding spinach to a smoothie—except it smells way better! Here are some fun ways to incorporate oils into your daily routine:
- Diffuse essential oils during your morning routine to lift your mood. Who needs coffee when you have citrusy goodness wafting through the air? (ok you can have both!) Check out some great diffuser recipes here.

- Use essential oils in your skincare routine. Your skin will glow so much, you might need to wear shades indoors! Verage skincare is hands down one of the easiest and super affordable skincare packs on the market and rates highly on the Yuka App. Check it out here.
