Self Care Treatments That Matter

Candy WashingtonComment

Hi lovelies,

Arguably, self-care treatments are one of the most important aspects of a modern way of life because they support your health and happiness. Without self-care treatments, our life quality diminishes, which only leads to the need for more self-care. Here are five treatments that matter.    

Acupuncture 

In order to maintain a good level of health and well-being, we need to have a strong nervous system. The nervous system has evolved over thousands, if not millions of years, it is extremely complex and preserves our best interests, but that can make us unwell in the modern world.

Acupuncture is the art of working with the nervous system to open up new pathways to the brain and create new connections. During acupuncture treatments, you will lay on a bed and have small needles put into your skin. These needles open up little energy channels helping you heal. 

Meditation 

Meditation is the art of breathing. Breathing is something we do naturally, but if we don’t have a regular meditation habit, we don’t practice skillful breathing. Although we can choose to breathe whenever we want, our bodies mostly breathe for us, so we can bring our attention to this fact. 

No matter what treatment option you undertake to support your well-being, some form of meditation is appropriate. Focused breathing helps to calm your mind, regain perspective, and generate creative thoughts that can help to solve difficult life problems. So, give it a try today.    

Spa Treatments 

One of the ways we regain our well-being is by undertaking a holistic activity such as going to the gym or going for treatment. Because we are engaging all of our sense perceptions and enjoying a particular activity, our brains respond by releasing happy chemicals and hormones. 

Spa treatments such as MedSpa are another example of this process where you engage all your senses in a healing process. Spa treatments are a fast and effective way to realign your mental and physical well-being and get back to your old self. There are lots to choose from.  

Exercise 

Again, exercising is one of the best ways to align your body and brain holistically, but unlike a day at the spa, exercise can be carried out every day or every other day. If you don’t have time in your busy schedule to get to the gym, then why not get into the habit of some micro workouts?

Micro workouts can be effective ways to integrate moderate exercise into your day. When you don’t exercise, you start to feel it in your body; that’s because the human body has evolved to be active. Small amounts of exercise have a cumulative effect, so you can benefit from workouts. 

Talking Therapy 

One of the first therapies you need to try if you have an issue with your mental or emotional well-being is talking therapy. Talking therapies are easy to access and help you get some perspective on your current state of mind and what to do next. If you can’t find a therapist, there are talking therapy phone numbers you can call.
