Holistic Self-Care this Holiday Season

It can be easy to lose track of yourself in the middle of the chaos of the holiday season - altered and often longer work schedules, obligations to family, and traveling make it hard to remember to take care of your body sometimes. 

Let’s face it - we’ve all missed a weekly workout here and there, or neglected to include a vegetable in some meals. But even though we put our bodies through the wringer with bad habits and bad posture, we keep going. 

Nobody’s perfect. In this life, all we can do is try our best. Sometimes we make it to the finish line, and sometimes we make mistakes and have to start again. In spite of it all, our bodies keep going. 

Nature designed our human bodies to be resilient. Between concrete, asphalt, and thousands of electronic moving parts, it’s only natural that we’ve lost touch with nature. 

Making the change to a more holistic health approach can have a major impact on your overall well-being. Our health is influenced by our environment, including the products we use on a day-to-day basis. Little things and small swaps can support your body to help weather stressful moments more healthily by cutting down on toxins in the body.

This holiday season, we’d like to invite you to be thankful for your body, and all the health benefits using natural, holistic ingredients can offer. 

Here are a few tips to bring a natural, holistic focus to your holiday season: 

1. Eat seasonally and intuitively

The holiday season emphasizes food and traditional dishes in many cultures, and cooking can be a great way to reconnect with both your mind and body. Choosing dishes and ingredients that correspond with the season can help you center and ground yourself in the cyclic rhythm of nature. 

2. Make self-care a priority

It’s so easy this season to lose track of yourself in the midst of putting family and friends first during the holidays. Incorporating quiet moments to check in with yourself can be a great benefit for your physical and mental health. Small acts, like brushing your teeth in the morning, can be the perfect time to slow down before things get hectic again. 

3. Use natural products 

Cutting out toxic and overly processed goods can actually help your whole body feel better! From toothpaste to detergent, using natural and clean products promotes a healthier environment both inside and out. SprinJene toothpaste, for example, is a great natural way to bring holistic ingredients into your daily routine without having to make a big change. 

This is the season to take time to reflect, be thankful for what we have, and set goals to improve. We owe it to ourselves to be the best stewards of this life we can be, and that starts with us!
