Living a natural solutions lifestyle doesn't have to be complicated or expensive. I'd like to take you on a journey through the various parts of your life to show you just how easy it can be to achieve a healthy home, healthy body, and healthy mind.
Like with anything in life, nothing is as easy a taking a magic pill - although I will say essential oils and other natural solution products come pretty close. Hahaha! What I mean is we still need to make good, healthy lifestyle decisions. After all having a healthy foundation is imperative for success regardless of what your health goals are.
Living naturally - a wellness lifestyle, is comprised of 6 primary areas of focus: Eating Right, Exercise, Rest & Manage Stress, Reduce Toxic Load, Informed Self Care, and Proactive Medical Care. Before I break each one of these areas down I'd like you to think about how you would rate yourself and your family in those six areas on a scale of 1-10 (10 meaning you're perfect with no room for improvement). After you honestly rank yourself (no one will see this but you), I want you to consider how you would feel if those numbers stayed the same over the next twelve months. That probably doesn't feel so good, right?
We'll started with our foundational health - this is to
Eat Right. Sadly most of us just aren't getting the right amount of vitamins, minerals and nutrients from our food intake. Even if we eat a healthy diet our soil, especially here in America, is over churned and unfortunately has been depleted of the nutrients. That means that we have to eat a TON more in order to provide our bodies with what we need, so we have to turn to supplements. doTERRA's Lifelong Vitality (LLV) Supplements are more than fantastic! They've been lifechanging for me and my families health and come with a 30-day money-back guarantee, so there's no harm in trying them out. I talk about them all throughout my blog posts, but have a couple short blog posts dedicated to talking about their benefits:
Why Supplement? and
Lifelong Vitality Supplements.
What's the point of fueling your body by eating right, if you're not going to move your body? Exercise is the next obvious step in living a healthy lifestyle. There are many different natural solutions products to help us in this area - from soothing sore muscles and weight loss support to natural products designed to help energize and motivate us to get up and move our body.
Speaking of energy and motivation, let's chat for a sec about the importance of sleep and how we can manage our emotions using natural solutions. Rest & Manage Stress is a powerhouse combo, that once balanced will literally help you in every other area in your life. I resolved an over 20 year battle with insomnia using natural solutions, so I'm confident that regardless of your sleep struggles I can help you too. When it comes to managing stress, and all of our emotions for that matter, there are so many choices - you're only limited by your personal sense of smell and budget (tee-hee)!
What does it mean to Reduce Toxic Load? Our physical bodies could probably use a good cleanse from time to time. This doesn't have to be a radical, gut-wrenching detox either. doTERRA offers a gentle 30-day cleanse or you can do something as simple as adding a citrus oil, like Lemon, to your water to sip on throughout the day.
As much as I'd like to tell you that our governing bodies watch over and protect us from harms way, that's just not the case. The majority of our personal care and hygiene products are riddled with untested chemicals and synthetics that can do a lot more harm than good. One of the simplest things you can do is to look at all your cleaning and personal care products and look for the word fragrance. That one word hides over 1,100 chemicals that can be contributing to cancer, autoimmune disease, hormone imbalances, headaches and so much more.
Make a list of all the products that you should replace and simply start making shifts. Don't go crazy and overboard, go slowly and start with the easiest to replace (items that you're running out of, etc.). Remember, this is not about spending more money, but about swapping where you're spending your money so that you're getting quality, toxin-free products that are going to do their job with the side effect of loads of benefits.
Many times the hardest part about living naturally is remembering to turn to the natural solutions products over the store bought first-aid items. The best way to be and do your best with Informed Self Care and Proactive Medical Care is to create habits and build the confidence in turning to them as your first line of defense. My suggestions for remembering to use your natural solutions is to make them convenient - tuck your pain reliever bottle away and put a bottle of Peppermint or Deep Blue in it's place and make sure you have them with you. Having someone like me guiding you through your wellness journey is great for education and guidance, but you can also purchase a reference book or app for your phone to truly empower you. I have some favorites and even give them as gifts, so if you need a suggestion just ask.
Remember living naturally doesn't have to be overly complicated and can be done on a budget, because if you recall, this isn't about spending extra money each month on MORE STUFF. Instead consider swapping out your less than ideal products you're using throughout your home and make a plan to to incorporate healthy habits into your day-to-day so you're ready to tackle all of life's challenges.
