Unplugging from the world can be an act of self-care, but disengaging completely can be bad for your health. As an introvert, I require a lot of quiet time. It’s non-negotiable for me, and I don’t feel my best without it. However, I’ve learned that there’s a healthy balance between connecting and disconnecting. While many acts of self-care can be performed in solitude, self-care isn’t meant to always be a solo gig.

 If you don’t move your body the way it was designed to move, it can lead to increased body aches, loss of bone density, weight gain, muscle tightness and stiffness, reduced range of motion/flexibility, elevated blood pressure, and the list goes on. Sometimes, we need a little bit of help getting back on track with our health. A massage or reiki session could be the catalyst to getting yourself back into balance.

 Be honest: have you been using your body as a trash can? Your body need whole, real foods that supply vital nutrients that support your health. In addition to nourishing your physical body, food also gives you energy to solve problems, develop ideas, and accomplish your big, crazy goals. When you aren’t nourishing your physical body well, it’s impossible to live up to your full potential. If most of your calories come from a drive-thru, packaged foods, or supplements, it might be time to consider an nutrition makeover. 

 Are you constantly digging through piles of clutter to find what you need? Do you frequently forget appointments or lose important items? Does “frazzled” describe your usual state of being? When you’re overscheduled or overcommitted, it’s easy to become disorganized. If you connect with this sentiment, it may be time to step back and examine your life as a whole. Getting your personal spaces organized will help you find what you need when you need it, so you can focus and think more clearly. 

 Do you let your emotions call the shots? Does your emotional state get in the way of making good decisions? When your choices are driven by your emotions, you might be setting yourself up for more stress in the long run. When you problem-solve when emotionally spent, you may not always make decisions that are in your best interest. Welcoming emotionally healthy techniques and strategies to manage your emotions more effectively, you can respond from a state of reason and balance. 

 Do friends refer to you as a "Debbie Downer"? If you fail to spend quality time beign grateful each day, it might be a sign that you need to invest in regular self-care. Building a positive mindset may take time, but it will help you focus your energy on solutions rather than allowing your problems to run your life. If it feels like others have been distancing themselves from you, it could indicate that your negative spin on life is bringing them down. 

 Are you a people-pleaser? Do you bend over backwards for others no matter how it affects you personally? Do you spend more time trying to fix other people’s problems than you do your own? When you focus your energy on problems that aren’t yours to begin with, it’s a slippery slope. Before long, the line between what’s yours and theirs becomes blurred. When your ability to maintain healthy boundaries fades, the quality of your relationships can fade along with it. Trying to be what others want you to be means that you aren’t really being you. And that can steal your joy and happiness. Avoid losing your mojo by learning how to set and honor healthy boundaries.  

Do you go to a job every day that you hate? 

Do you feel utilized and purposeful in what you do every day? One third of your life is spent at work. If you're not happy and fulfilled, it is sure to spill over into the other two thirds of your life. When we feel happy, healthy, and balanced, we tend to be more engaged in life and able to meet challenges head on by take bold an powerful steps toward making great things happen. Lovingly caring for your body, mind, and spirit is one of the best ways to attract amazing things into your life. You will radiate a confidence and charisma that is an energetic calling card to your amazing vibe.
