"Radical Self-Care"

All the buzz about self-care is the step we needed to show humans the healthiest they can be. Now, implementing radical self-care is the final piece of the puzzle.

The University of Indiana defines radical self-care as “the assertion that you have the responsibility to take care of yourself first before attempting to take care of others.” The concepts that one cannot serve from an empty pot, is so well known that you likely hear it every time you board an airplane. So why is it so hard for society to grasp?

As Suzanne Degges-White Ph.D. in Psychology Today shares, “Radical self-care is about taking care of things at the source rather than just sugarcoating or managing the symptoms.” As humans, procrastination and avoidance feels natural, making managing symptoms at the source a pain in itself.

The information presented today connecting the gut to the center of our wellbeing is the missing link to true healing. The gut’s connection to the brain influences cholesterol, blood insulin, obesity, hormones, and proper release of toxins.  These are just a few of many symptoms impacting our overall health and happiness. Going to the source for many people is about going to the gut and getting to the root of the problem. Our digestive tract is truly a gateway for our body to interact with the outside world. Without the right proactive protection in place, we are more susceptible to the challenges and exposures growing in today’s world.

The Smart Strains™ in Somaya Life® bring good bacteria that provide specific modes of action to the body; bringing balance and alignment through the brain-gut connection. With specific functions benefiting both digestive and immune health, these ‘doers’ go to work and help fix problems by enhancing the digestive microbiome, utilizing excess stomach acid, inhibiting pathogens, and communicating with the immune system through modulating and regulating immune response.

Radical self-care is going beyond a bubble bath, massage, or me-time. We're talking about really, truly doing what you need to do to protect your emotional, physical, mental, and spiritual energies. Prioritizing your own healing and wellbeing, in order to be able to serve others.  Connecting back to the source and finding balance is a tremendous step in the right direction!
