You may think that you’re already set in your ways, and to a certain extent that may very well be true. You have your dominant traits, both physical and emotional and you’re ‘wired’ the way you are – a defined and complete person. However, stagnation is simply not in human nature. We are creatures who always crave, if not drastic change, then at least a certain amount of improvement. Why? Because the need to be our best selves is deeply rooted in us, and regardless of what you may think, that need is squatting somewhere in the back of your brain, waiting to be awakened – because it’s never late to change the things we’re not content with. Yes, you are probably a fully-formed person, but slight and even major alterations for the better are always possible, so start your journey and rediscover and reinvent yourself today – in body, mind as well as the soul. Let the transformation begin!
Forever young
We’ve heard this phrase countless times, and as much as we would like to believe that age is just a number, a time will come when our body won’t allow us to do things we used to with ease. Aging is inevitable, but it can be slowed down and your body can be rejuvenated from within. One of the first courses of actions to turn to is a healthy juice cleanse – just make sure you do it in moderation: no longer than a week and keep the right balance between veggies and fruits. Now, a cleanse will give you the closest thing to a clean slate, so you have a duty to your body to treat it right once you’ve detoxed. Committing to a super healthy diet that mainly consists of superfoods that provide all the macronutrients as well as micronutrients such as minerals, vitamins and Omega-3 fatty acids you need may seem like a difficult job, but on the contrary – you simply need to form this habit and then you’ll wonder how you ever lived without this type of nutrition. if you lack the time to prepare food for yourself, you can always opt to have fitness meals delivered to your home. You’ll not only notice positive changes in your body as well as skin, but these foods come with loads of deliciousness.
It’s time to get moving
Okay, if you haven’t been loving your body (and by loving we mean treating it right with some form of physical activity), it’s high time to do so. If you are a social creature, there are loads of new exercise options from soul cycle to yoga dates and other class-based forms of exercise, so take your pick. For some, yoga is the best of both worlds as it gives you the flexibility, stamina and an overall sense of fitness while also providing you with a certain level of serenity. Choose according to your preferences. The benefits of physical activity are enormous and definitely not something you want to disregard.
When you can’t fix it, someone else can
There is probably not a single person who loves absolutely everything about their body, and while it’s completely normal to learn to love yourself with the flaws you were born with, it’s also completely fine to fix what can be fixed, especially if it will help you regain your self-confidence. We’re all aware that certain pockets of fat that are pesky and bothersome can’t be removed even with the most grueling exercise regimen. So take a cue from Australians who have been undergoing minimally invasive liposuction and getting rid of their insecurities as fast as you can say ‘insecurity’, find a clinic you trust and say goodbye to that pocket of fat.
Matters of the mind
Sometimes, in this hectic world that seems to be filled with all kinds of “musts”, one can feel overwhelmed, overworked and completely stressed out. Stress doesn’t only ‘hit’ the mind, but can have severe consequences on your physical health too, which is why people have been increasingly turning to meditation in order to ‘chase away the clouds’ and achieve a much-needed serenity, calm and keep negative conditions and feelings such as depression and anxiety at bay. Yes, meditation has the power to do all this and so much more. It helps you become more centered, resilient, empathetic and emotionally open, and it can increase your overall mental, physical and emotional well-being by up to 65 percent. Yes, meditation has scientifically proven benefits, which is all the reason you need to stop looking at it as a fad and steal those twenty minutes that will mean a world of difference for all aspects of your being. Meditation is essentially a reboot button that your body, mind and soul have been craving, and it’s time to push the button.
Topical wisdom
Of course, when you nurture yourself from within, the results will show on your skin, and you won’t just feel like a new and rejuvenated person but look like one as well. This is the time to seal the deal with great topical solutions. The best route to take is the natural one, as people have increasingly been turning to organic and natural skincare. Rejuvenate your entire body skin with an ancient grooming technique – dry brushing and turn to the best natural skincare available. It will take some time for the natural goodness to do its job, but once you see the results, you’ll keep seeing them because when you go natural, the benefits are long-term.
It may seem like there is so much to change, but one change will instigate another and the results will serve as an incentive to kick off a third, and before you know it, you will have changed your lifestyle and become a brand new, replenished person who naturally managed to stop the clock.
