Learn to take care of yourself inside and out

by Abbas Jahangir · July 6, 2024

There is no magic formula to feel beautiful and good about yourself. It is not just by eating a healthy bowl or trying a new beauty product that we can necessarily say mission accomplished. Well-being is above all a way of life. It is a set of factors that are intimately linked, as if intertwined with each other.

It’s knowing how to take care of yourself both externally and internally.

It comes through the food we eat, what we put on our skin, but also through the way we manage our stress, our thoughts, the relationships we have with our loved ones or with our work and the multitude of choices we make every day, in each sphere of our life.

Here are some ways to take care of your body as well as your mind, to help you shine from within and achieve optimal well-being.

We therefore consider that physical, psychological, social, and ecological factors have an impact on our health and well-being.

TAKE A HOLISTIC APPROACH

The holistic philosophy of health considers each person as a whole, in their entirety. The term “holistic” comes from the Greek word holes which means “whole”. It is therefore considered that physical, psychological, social, and ecological factors have an impact on our health and well-being.

In short, eating well is not everything. Maintaining healthy relationships with those you love, knowing how to listen to your needs, learning to love yourself are all equally important factors in achieving overall health. Realize that everything is connected, and that each of your choices counts and contributes to your well-being.

Here are some practices to adopt to take care of yourself holistically:

To exercise;
Eat healthy, whole foods;
Eat slowly and mindfully (avoiding distractions or television);
Get enough sleep;
Drink enough water;
Listen to your body’s needs;
Explore your creativity;
Learn to manage your stress;
Take breaks from technology;
Have a beauty ritual;
Meditate for a few minutes every day;
Pursue your passions;
Have positive thoughts;
Say goodbye to unhealthy relationships;
Keep a diary;
Have a clean house;
Show gratitude.

Pay special attention to the products you buy to favor those that are made locally, without chemicals, and that respect nature.

MAKE CHOICES MORE IN HARMONY WITH NATURE

Pay special attention to the products you buy to favor those that are made locally, without chemicals, and that respect nature.

Why not make the switch to healthier products and cosmetics that honor not only your natural beauty, but also that of the planet? Opt for skincare products made with plants, essential oil extracts, and a short ingredient list.

Jacynthe René’s range of natural products now available at Brunet is a great solution. Made with pure ingredients, they use the natural virtues of plants to make your beauty shine, without harming the planet. Floral waters, rose serums, body oils: a host of products that are good for the body as well as the soul.

We spend so much time looking outside that we forget to look at ourselves.

STOP COMPARING YOURSELF TO OTHERS

We know it too well, one of the keys to well-being is learning to love and accept ourselves as we are. However, we too often spend our energies looking at others and trying to change ourselves to become more like them. But this is not only useless and counterproductive, it is even harmful for self-esteem and self-confidence.

By wanting to compare ourselves too much to others, we develop the feeling that we are never good enough. We feel inadequate. And we spend so much time looking outside that we forget to look at ourselves.

Instead, direct your energies towards your strengths, qualities and values. Accept that you cannot be perfect (perfection does not exist!), and instead work on becoming the best version of yourself. The more you succeed in recognizing your own beauty, the more you will exude well-being and beauty in turn.

LISTEN TO YOUR BODY

Learn to listen to the signals your body is sending you and recognize when an imbalance is occurring. Are you stressed? Is something making you anxious? Are you having trouble concentrating?

The new Grace collection, designed exclusively for Brunet, is a beautiful way to learn about the benefits of semi-precious stones, thanks to its beautiful bracelets and accessories. Each bracelet has a unique property. They can be worn not only to feel beautiful, but also to help you feel better.

Here are some stones and their benefits:

Howlite: to help you in times of stress;
Obsidian: to enlighten you when making important decisions;
Rose quartz: to bring peace and harmony in your relationships with others;
Lava stone: to bring physical and mental stability during difficult times;
Amazonite: to promote communication.
