Hello everyone, it is a very busy summer, I guess for most of you too.
I don't have the time to post much at all, only wanted to remind everyone: remember to moisturize your feet and to use UV protection, just like you do with the rest of your body.
Feet get neglected this way in the summer and I see a lot of that this years, so be kind to your footsies to avoid extra issues 😊❤️🦶🏻🦶🏿🦶
Have a lovely rest of the summer ☀️

We don't always love every part of our appearance.
However, this is the body we live in, all the time, and it is important to take a good care if it and respect it.
I love the L.E.Bowman wording - her poetry saysa lit in simplewords, so I wanted to share this little thought with you.
I hope you are are having nice moments, preparing for the summer ☀️
(Yes, i know, it doesn't even feel like spring most of the days but eh 😆🤷🏻‍♀️)

Years ago, anthropologist Margaret Mead was asked by a student what she considered to be the first sign of civilization in a culture. The student expected Mead to talk about fishhooks or clay pots or grinding stones.
But no. Mead said that the first sign of civilization in an ancient culture was a femur (thighbone) that had been broken and then healed. Mead explained that in the animal kingdom, if you break your leg, you die. You cannot run from danger, get to the river for a drink or hunt for food. You are meat for prowling beasts. No animal survives a broken leg long enough for the bone to heal.
A broken femur that has healed is evidence that someone has taken time to stay with the one who fell, has bound up the wound, has carried the person to safety and has tended the person through recovery. Helping someone else through difficulty is where civilization starts, Mead said."
We are at our best when we serve others. Be civilized.

10 Truths that will Make You Stronger.

(Found them somewhere on the Internet 🤫 but i really wanted to share with you 😁)

1. Nobody cares about you, your plans, your goals, or your little dramas.
So, stop pretending they do, or getting upset when they don't. Do the good things you have to do for your benefits.

2. When it comes to reaching your goals, discipline is more important than motivation. If you don't have discipline, you will never be committed to anything.

3. You are the only person capable of changing your life; no one can do that for you and no amount of excuses can do it for you.
The easiest way to change yourself is to change the things you do each day.

4. The biggest threat to your progression in life isn't something or someone around you. It is you.

5. The key to a successful life lies not in what you know, but in what you do with what you know.

6. Failure is just a steppingstone on the road to success.

7. You can't change the past, but you can still d£stroy your future if you repeat the mistakes.

8. Success is not about what you accomplish, it's about who you become in the process.

9. Your comfort zone is a barren place. Nothing ever grows there.

10. Anything in life worth achieving will not be easy to get. Stop believing otherwise.
If it was easy, everyone would get what they wanted. Most people give up on their goals when things become too difficult. Don’t be like them.

In my opinion, every day should be Mental Health Awareness Day, don't you think? But in a really mindful meaning.
It's good when we do care of our bodies, but do we always pay enough attention to our mind? Do we spare enough time to also observe the people in our lives and make sure they're okay too?
I loved this video and I thought it has to be shared.

If you happened to be somewhere nice and warm, don't forget to give your footsies the care you give to the rest of your body when sunbathing, they need sun protection as every exposed bit of you (including lips and hair, yes - we often forget about them too).
What's the temperature where you are right now? To see how (unbelievably) hot is where I am right now, try to guess and I will let you know if you have guessed correctly later 😋

'The happiness trap' or how happy 'exactly' we "should" be.

Here's a quote from this lovely eye-opening publication 🫣.

And if you have a good vision and some spare time in your hands, I recommend you to read the whole work 😉📚

I am also taking recommendations for nice books to take on my holiday, so please feel free to enlighten me about your favorites. 🤓

Most of us have been raised to believe that the road to a happy life is paved with pleasure, and that the pursuit of pleasure is the path to fulfillment. But as we grow up, we begin to realize that life is not always easy or pleasurable. In fact, much of it is difficult and painful. We all experience loss, disappointment, illness, aging, and eventually death. We encounter stress, anxiety, and fear. We suffer from the slings and arrows of everyday life.
And yet, we continue to cling to the idea that happiness is found in pleasure and the avoidance of pain. We try to avoid our painful experiences by numbing ourselves with drugs or alcohol, distracting ourselves with TV or social media, or obsessing over our work or our relationships. But the more we try to avoid the basic reality that all human life involves pain, the more we are likely to struggle with that pain when it arises, thereby creating even more suffering.
The truth is that happiness is not found in the avoidance of pain, but in the willingness to face and accept our pain. It is in the willingness to experience our painful thoughts and feelings, to acknowledge them without judgment, and to take action in line with our values and goals. It is in the willingness to be present in the moment, to connect with our senses and our environment, and to find joy and meaning in the simple things in life. ~Russ Harris

I had the chance to treat this lovely patient's feet for a first time.
She shared that she was a bit worried to book an appointment for some time, due to not have had a treatment for months after a long hospital stay. That lead to a lot of discomfort, infection and reduced mobility.
Eventually, she got enough courage. Well done for this!
I know sometimes, when you neglect your feet, it gets more and more difficult to 'dare' to ask someone to look at your them professionally.
But remember, it is never too late. We, Foot health professionals, are here to help.

The comfort felt afterwards was great, she said. 😊🦶🏻❤️🦶🏽
