It's Love Yourself Thursday!!!
We all know that water is essential for life, but its significance goes beyond mere survival. Hydration is the cornerstone of optimal health, affecting virtually every aspect of our well-being. From physical performance to cognitive function, here's why staying hydrated should be at the forefront of your health journey:
1. Boost Your Energy Levels:
Dehydration can lead to fatigue and decreased energy levels. By ensuring you're adequately hydrated, you'll find yourself more energized and ready to tackle the day. Say goodbye to that mid-afternoon slump!
2. Enhance Physical Performance:
With the warmer weather and longer days, spring is fantastic for reigniting your physical activity routine. Before and after workouts, apply PanAway or Peppermint essential oil topically to soothe muscles and enhance recovery. These oils can offer a cooling sensation and support your body's natural healing process, allowing you to stay active and embrace the beauty of the season.
Whether you're a fitness enthusiast or just trying to stay active, hydration is key. Proper fluid balance supports your muscles and joints, improving endurance and overall physical performance.
3. Revitalize Your Skin:
Want that natural glow? Hydration is the secret! Water helps maintain skin elasticity and promotes a healthy complexion. It's like giving your skin a daily dose of rejuvenation.
4. Sharpen Your Mind:
A well-hydrated brain functions more efficiently. Stay on top of your mental game by keeping your brain cells properly hydrated, leading to improved concentration, better memory, and enhanced cognitive function.
5. Support Digestive Health:
Water aids in digestion and nutrient absorption. It helps prevent constipation and supports the overall health of your digestive system. Your gut will thank you for staying hydrated!
Practical Tips for Staying Hydrated:
Now that we understand the importance of hydration, let's explore some practical tips to incorporate more fluids into our daily lives:
- - Drink a full glass of water first thing in the morning to get a head start on staying hydrated throughout the day.
- - Carry a reusable glass or stainless steel water bottle with you wherever you go.
- - Set reminders on your phone to take water breaks throughout the day.
- - Infuse your water with natural flavors like citrus, berries, or mint for added enjoyment.
- - Consume hydrating foods such as water-rich fruits and vegetables. Watermelon, cucumber and lettuce are all water-rich!

You want it? Then make it happen!
Do you believe it's 16 days into the year already?
What have you done for YOU since the first of the year?
Statistics show that when we make resolutions we stick to it for at least 2-3months. This is better than when I started following the average time used to be 15 days.
How are you doing with your goal so far?
Here's a great story about the difference between "wants" and "intent"
Two friends are chatting about their diets. The first one says, “I want to be healthy and feel great.” The second one says, “I intend to be healthy and feel great.”
Which one do you think is going to get healthy and feel great? Yep – the one who intends it.
Wanting is simply wishing you can have or do a particular thing. Intending means you’re committed to achieving something by making a plan for success – and sticking to it!
What’s your intention for 2024?
Do you intend to find ways to reduce hot flashes, lose weight, eat healthy, and feel fantastic?

The Fuel for Desired Results
The key to intention is action – try this to build your intention muscle:
- Get clear on what you want. Create a vision board by gathering images and words that pertain to your goal, and gluing them onto a large piece of construction paper. Hang the collage in a spot where you’ll see it often (or, you can use an online service like Pinterest to create a digital vision board).
- Do something to make your desire happen. Let’s say you want to eat four servings of vegetables a day. Your first action may be to make a list from a couple of vegetables recipes then go to a grocery store to purchase what you need.
- Celebrate your achievement!
- Don’t forget to congratulate yourself for meeting your goal.
How to Have a Great Day… Every Day!
Did you know that you can even set an intention to have a great day?
Rather than diving into your morning and hoping you’ll achieve your day’s big goal, why not take a moment and set yourself up for success?
Try this “Setting an Intention to Succeed” exercise used by professional athletes, speakers, politicians, and performers:
- Upon waking, lie in bed and think about what you have planned for your day (or, find a quiet spot to sit and contemplate). Write it down.
- Think about your desired outcome. Take a deep breath and visualize yourself succeeding.
- Replay your success several times in your mind.
- Next, add other senses, including sounds, smells, and touch. For instance, as you replay your success, you now also hear the director offering you the gig, or you feel the physical sensation of your finger hitting the “send” button on your latest assignment.
- Lastly, replay the scene again, adding emotions. Feel your elation at getting the part, or your pride at finally finishing your work.
You can perform "Setting an Intention to Succeed" throughout the day as desired.
We help our clients to develop healthy habits to reduce hot flashes, pain, better sleep and increase their energy!!!
