How To Love Your Body


If you look in the mirror, what will you see? Is your reflection that of a happy woman, one who`s mastered the art of multitasking and still manages to put herself first? Or are you a modern-day martyr, stretching yourself paper-thin for others while your very own soul seems to be slipping into oblivion?
Before you answer, consider this reality check: When your body talks, what does it say? Are your eyes puffy and tired? Do your feet hurt? Are you still complaining about lingering "baby fat"although your "baby" now holds a valid driver`s license? Do you avoid the doctor`s office by any means necessary? If you`ve answered yes to any of these questions, chances are you`ve been so inundated with responsibilities that you`ve neglected caring for yourself. But don`t fret: it`s never too late to start loving your body from the inside out.
Experts offer the following ways for you to renew your mind,refresh your body and reclaim your overall sense of well-being.
* For peace of mind-visit a doctor.
A trip to the doctor`s office can lead to the detection of a silent killer like breast cancer, and, if treated effectively, can save your life.
* Enjoy your food and feel good.
The American Dietetic Association says that there are no"bad" foods; the food you choose to eat the entire day, even several days are what count.We can live life in the fast lane, pushing ourselves hard from one experience to the next, until one day we can push ourselves no more; or we can turn off the super highway to follow quieter, slower roads....Ultimately, we may reach the same destination; however, the different routes by which we travel will determine the state of our mind and body on arrival."Rest and relaxation are require to refresh the mind and body. Relaxation techniques differ, but the over all objective is to deliver a quick mental escape from the stresses of the day.
* Get your beauty sleep.
You`ve got to get your sleep as well. The researchers studied the effects of sleep deprivation, and found that getting adequate sleep is vital for promoting or maintaining balanced mental health.Too little sleep leaves us drowsy and unable to concentrate the next day. It also leads to impaired memory and physical performance. If sleep deprivation continues, hallucinations and mood swings may develop.
*When it comes to "me-time,"never fight the urge to spurge. Begin by putting on your pretty face-indulge our skin with a refreshing facial, and try a skin renewal body wash. If your having problems with your skin, seek a dermatologist`s advice for clarifying your face. If you have discoloration, birthmarks, scars, etc., research the latest techniques available in skin clarification and/or corrective makeup; many procedures are surprisingly affordable, and in reality, there`s no price tag you can place on self-confidence. When in you pampering mode, remember it`s okay to treat yourself to scented candles, or a rich, warm, milk and honey bubble bath; don`t forget to have regular pedicures and manicures to keep your feet soft and your hands elegant. Schedule a deep-scalp conditioner at the beauty shop to keep your hair healthy. Find the pampering treatments that make you feel wonderful and just do it!
