Wellness and caring for our health is an act of self-love and for some, this requires a shift in perspective. In our society, putting oneself first is often frowned upon. It is considered selfish, which has negative connotations. In reality, how can we go out into the world to be the best we can be and do the best we can do without putting ourselves first?
Part of being the best we can be is by doing what we can to support ourselves. While many outside factors contribute to wellness, we can reinforce our inner strength by making choices that support our wellness, so that in turn, we can be available not just for ourselves but for others too. One of my favorite analogies on this topic is the oxygen mask used in the case of an emergency on an airplane. In order to care for others, we must be able to breathe, to care for our own basic needs. When the oxygen mask is fastened and we are breathing, we can then help others. One of the best parts of being on the Saje team is that I am encouraged to care for my wellness.
It is tough to think of devoting time to ourselves in this busy busy busy society we live in. However, if we can see this time, this devotion, this self-love as a basic need instead of a selfish act, we are one step closer to achieving wellness.
Having used Saje products for about a decade, I know how powerful these remedies and products are. I also know that they are incredibly easy to use via topical application. Your body is uniquely yours so your wellness is uniquely yours. Whether you wish to boost your immune system using Immune or Super Detox, improve the air quality in your home with a diffuser blend such as Rainforest or nourish and protect your skin from pollutants with Rose Repair, it is up to you.
Whatever your health goals are, I encourage you to incorporate essential oils into your daily regimen. They can support you on a multitude of levels and using them is an act of self-love for a variety of reasons. We spend far too much time in sickness and dis-ease because we have been taught that it is virtuous to be selfless. Over the long-term, no one gains from this. The nearer you are to optimum wellness and the less time you spend in sickness and dis-ease, the more likely you are to notice how much more time you have in your life.
"Giving yourself more time is a truly precious gift, an act of self-love that allows you the space to focus on your dreams and goals."
What begins as an act of self-love can transform your life to touch others as it allows you to be connected with your authentic self, to do more good in the world and to be the best that you can be.
This body will carry you for the rest of your life so why not function at optimum health? Why not love and nourish the body you have?
Choose wellness. It truly is an act of self-love.
