I read something the other day that said: “We don’t brush our teeth everyday because there’s something wrong with them, we do it to maintain their health and STOP something from going wrong”.
While I know that’s not exactly profound, in some ways it sort of is. Oral hygiene is a habit we keep on top of without question, but what about other areas of our health and wellbeing?
I’m mostly talking about the unseen stuff, like the state of our nervous system, our emotional health and wellbeing, our hormonal health…
More women suffer autoimmune diseases than men and from my own experience as a Hashimotos sufferer (thyroid health for those who don’t know), I can totally see why.
In so many cases, were the jugglers, the primary caregivers, the people pleasers, the worriers…
We put ourselves so far down on our own priority lists, that we feel GUILTY if we do eventually put ourselves first.
Over time, our bodies can struggle to handle it. The stress and cortisol, the poor sleep, the constant go, go, go all add up. And unfortunately for many of us it’s a tipping point too far!
I sometimes wonder if I’d maintained my unseen health and wellbeing, guilt-free, whether I’d have Hashimotos today?
Let this be a reminder that you don’t need to be in crisis to take care of yourself!
What’s one area of your health and wellbeing you’ve been neglecting recently? 💗
