Practical Ways to Use Self-Care for Personal Growth by Emily Graham

Deep down, all of us want to achieve personal growth throughout our lives. For you, it might mean improving at your job, returning to school, starting a family, buying a house, or tackling any other significant life change that helps you grow as a person.

However, it’s essential not to forget about your health and well-being in the process. You can become so busy “improving” yourself that you don’t recognize the fact that you’re neglecting your physical, mental, and emotional health. Don’t let that happen! Here are some simple tips for maintaining a self-care routine as you grow.

Get Away

If you need a fresh perspective and less stress, consider planning a weekend getaway. This will allow you to explore a new area and engage in self-care activities and relaxation.

You will come back a better version of yourself and likely have some fond memories to share. Go camping, see the sights, lounge on the beach, or do anything else that brings rest to your soul.

Start Something New

Another way to foster your health and well-being on your personal development journey is to turn your passion into a hobby. Maybe you love riding, and you could put your thoughts into a blog. Perhaps you have a knack for crafts, and you could open up an online store. Or, you could use your interest in nature and join a local birdwatching club.

Why not take it a step further and start a company out of your passion? With a bit of market research and a good business plan, you could launch a business that brings fulfillment each day and supplement your income.

Embrace Exercise

Exercise is an essential element of any healthy life. Keeping your body active each day —- whether it’s in the morning, afternoon, or evening —- will benefit your physical, mental, and emotional health.

Along with helping you manage your weight, regular exercise can strengthen your cardiovascular system, improve your balance, lower your stress levels, boost your mood, and much more. Find an activity you enjoy (e.g., jogging, swimming, HIIT, etc.). Then, commit to exercising for at least 20 minutes a day.

Find a New Home for a Fresh Start

Moving to a new home is a chance to leave behind negative memories and create a fresh start. It can also be an opportunity to declutter and simplify your life, getting rid of material possessions that no longer serve you. The physical act of packing up your belongings and moving them to a new location can also be therapeutic, helping you to let go of the past and embrace the future. To find a home in your budget, research home prices in your target area to determine if it’s an affordable location.

Improve Sleep

Sleep is also critical if you hope to grow personally without compromising your well-being. Our minds and bodies rely on restful sleep to perform at total capacity, and adults need at least seven hours a night for optimal health.

Create a bedtime routine that prepares your mind and body for sleep and ensures your bedroom is a restful atmosphere. It could be worth investing in blackout shades, essential oils, and turning the temperature down a few degrees at night. Finally, make sure this space stays neat and tidy, as a room filled with clutter can make you feel anxious — which can ruin your sleep.

Eat Nutritiously

Furthermore, focus your diet on nutritious foods like vegetables, fruits, healthy fats, lean proteins, and whole grains. You will have more energy throughout the day and sleep better at night. Switching out your sandwich for a salad at lunch can go a long way in helping you develop healthy eating habits.

Schedule Time for Others

Finally, make time for the most important people in your life. Proper self-care is not selfish, but you can go overboard and neglect your relationships. Avoid that pitfall at all costs!

If you’re motivated to take your personal development to the next level, it’s essential not to do it while compromising your health and well-being. Whether you’re starting a business or relocating to get a fresh start, consider the tips above as you continue your self-improvement journey, and keep looking for other simple ways to practice self-care. Here’s to taking significant steps and growing in mind, body, and soul!

Have you Tried a “Neuropathy Formula” and didn’t get Relief?

I know that in 2004, there were no formulas that worked to restore health to the nerves.   About 2010, many people started different formulas as they found many people had the problem of symptoms from nerve damage (neuropathy).

Some offered some B vitamins and other supplements, some had lots of herbs to cover up the symptoms, and one even said it was an enzyme that the person needed.

There are lots of things that will cover up the pain, etc. (mostly herbs), there are antioxidants and other supplements that do help.

I found that there are specific vitamins that the body needs to build nerve health and restore health to the nerves.   The more health, the less symptoms.   I also found that no matter what the cause of the nerve damage, the body still needed the same vitamins.

I know many people who have tried different formulas and got frustrated and disappointed trying to get relief.

There are many things you can do to help get some relief and there is something you can do to build nerve health.  Combining this is a good idea and making sure you are taking the right things are vital.   Life style changes also help.

What is the reasons that a blood test shows high levels of B12?

This question comes up all the time.   But,…. why does someone have the symptoms of a B12 deficiency but is told that they have the high levels of B12 in their test results.

There are many reasons including you might have a functional B12 deficiency.

I wrote this article awhile ago as I constantly got asked about it.    So, instead of fretting, find out what this means and what you can do.

What does it mean when your blood test shows High B12 Levels?

How to decide which supplement you really need?

What is the secret for getting results with supplements?

Are you discourged because you have failed to find the right supplement to fix you health challenge?

The trick is understanding the condition so you get the right supplement.

You must educate yourself on what it really takes to build health. Specifically health in the part of the body that you have your attention on or which is creating a larger problem to your health.

And this is not just being told what helps to build Your Health, but getting the understanding of why it will build health.

An example is something which I’ve worked with for over 15 years, deciding which supplements for neuropathy. I’ve seen many many supplement companies start up (and sometimes fail) that sold supplements for neuropathy. They each had a different idea of what to use that will diminish the pain and symptoms.

Some worked to give some of the B vitamins but usually had additionally things like anti-oxidants and herbs. Anti-oxidants will actually bring some relief and stop the progression of nerve damage (which is what neuropathy is) and the herbs will just cover up symptoms. One supplement even claims that enzymes are what will make nerves healthy again but it mainly includes things that cover up the symptoms.

Covering up the symptoms, I know that it is very welcome to the neuropathy sufferer. But it sometimes isn’t strong enough and the results wouldn’t last – you definitely wouldn’t want to stop taking it.

I remember when I first discovered a supplement for neuropathy that I still recommend.

Why did I know that this Nerve Support Formula worked – it had the ingredients that I knew gave to body what it needs to restore health to the nerves. I was educated on the subject and I know what was needed. (You can check Nerve Health to find out why these vitamins are needed)

It occurred to me that it is true for any health problem. If it is the liver – what does the liver need with what is going on, in order to build health for the liver? The same idea went for the heart, the digestive system, etc. etc. It even works with immunity. What does the body need in order to have a healthy immune system that would ward off any variant of any virus, bacteria or fungus? Interesting idea.

So, I used to call MCVitamins, “How to Survive Despite a Fast Food Lifestyle“. This came about because the food that people consume creates all sorts of deficiencies, not to mention the chemical medicines, the pharmaceuticals that also create problems.

I changed it to Get Educated and Take Control of Your Health.

Understanding what is going on with your body and the health challenges you are experiencing will let you look and see which supplement you should chose to create health.

MCVitamins has always been about finding the right supplement formula that we found to work, and will help you and always will. But when you understand what health is and how it is created, you can be in control of things and make the right choices.

Do you feel comfortable in your own skin?

I’ve seen  so many commercials for medications that will give clear skin.   And it is all about suppressing the immune system so your body doesn’t react and create the skin problems.   Of course, the side effects one of which is listed

“Using Skyrizi could raise your risk of getting a serious infection. This is because Skyrizi can weaken your immune system, which lowers your body’s defenses against infection.”

And, I’m sure there are many more problems where  the body is creating skin problems
