Taking Time to Breathe in a World on Fire. Top Story - August 2020.
I don’t think I stand alone when I say that the air has been tight lately; from the global pandemic that has changed our lives forever, to the ever prevailing injustices and regressions happening in across the world. While we are a fiery generation and while I love the invigorating feeling of being part and fighting alongside movements I believe in with all of my heart and soul, the weight of it all does become heavy at times.

Thinking, Walking and Syncing
I know one thing of myself, that I am an (over)thinker a lot. I have so many thoughts going on in my mind. I am thinking about what I want to practice on the violin that moment, what I want to feed my children, what I want to write as an article today, and on which topic I want to write an article. Just name it what could be on my mind.

Make Time, Not Money
I was a people-pleasing, go-getting, workaholic and rather than show my vulnerability to coworkers, friends or family, I became a professional feelings hider. I worked in a demanding industry that threatened termination if you “couldn’t do the job” and learnt that wasn’t your capability of doing the job, but in fact, what are you willing to sacrifice for the job.

July 10th, 2020: I moved to Portland, Oregon, on July 10th of this year. The date and location were planned long before the world fell apart.

My story of why I sell and use Doterra essential oils.
I am 23 years old. I sell DoTerra essential oils as a Wellness Advocate. I'm pretty sure you are probably wondering what are essential oils? Essential oils are the essence of a plant, an amazing gift from the earth, distilled and prepared for you to bring many health benefits and ways to use these oils in your home. Inside many plants—hidden in roots, seeds, flowers, bark—are concentrated, highly potent chemical compounds. These natural compounds are essential oils. The word doTERRA means from the earth.

The Importance of Self-Care
Many of us go through a lot of frustration in life, especially with the times we are in now. We often forget to take a break and think about ourselves. Specifically for parents and business owners. It’s hard to add some positivity when you are constantly worried about every little thing and have the mental sanity to stay calm. Mental health is being highlighted more nowadays and a blessing to show people that it is okay to take care of yourself.

Self Care is Not What You Think It Is
Lots of things happen when we self-isolate: we find new ways to connect, we pick up new hobbies, and we do a lot of thinking. But we don't really notice that when we're apart from others, we depend on ourselves more, which means we need to know how to take care of ourselves.

How To Have A Self-Care Day!
Before I talk about what you should do, let’s go over why. It's so important to make sure you take good care of your body, mind, and soul every day, not just when you get sick. Learning how to eat right, reduce stress, exercise regularly, and take a time-out when you need it are touchstones of self-care and can help you stay healthy, happy, and resilient.

Adult coloring books and gel pens
I’ve done it. I’ve purchased one of those “adult coloring books”, complete with gel pens. First of all, who decided to call them “adult coloring books” in the first place? I was a little nervous to open my first one since I wasn’t sure of what was going to be in there (but figured that since I was in a Paper Source I would probably be alright), and was relieved when I opened it and simply saw hundreds of very tiny flowers and intricate designs.

6 Ways to Tackle Self Care When You’re Always Busy. Top Story - August 2020. Created with: Magic Fitness.
The idea of creating “work-life balance” has taken on an entirely different meaning ever since the pandemic hurled us into quarantine life. It was hard enough to carve out time for self-care before the pandemic, but now it can feel almost impossible. We are working long hours from home while simultaneously running our households, taking care of the family and homeschooling kids. It’s impossible for anyone to manage all of this, but we are all doing our best. One of the most important parts in managing the stress of our current situation is ensuring we take time for self-care. You cannot be your best for everyone else if you aren’t your best self. It’s just like when the airlines tell you to put your own oxygen mask on before helping others. You’re no help to anyone else if you’re not ok!
