Summer is such a special time of year; with warm weather and ample sunshine, it’s the perfect time to prioritize self-care. It’s the time of year focused on fun, relaxation, and travel. What better way to fully enjoy your summer than by elevating yourself? Here I am sharing 3 easy ways that you can prioritize self-care by adding some simple steps to your summer routine.
1. Check Out Truvaga
First, what is Truvaga? I’m glad that you asked! Truvaga is a handheld wellness product that reduces stress, increases focus, and improves mood and sleep by stimulating the vagus nerve. I’ve been using my Truvaga device twice a day as recommended and I’m sleeping so much more soundly! Prioritizing self-care from my own home has never been easier with Truvaga. Each session is about 2 minutes long and it is incredibly gentle, yet powerful.
The device comes programmed with 350 sessions; this lasts around 6 months if used twice a day as recommended. With free standard shipping and a 30-day money-back guarantee, there’s very little reason not to give it a try. You can use the code: VAGA10 to get $10 off your order at Truvaga.com.
I also love that it is compact and handheld, so I’m not limited in when I can use my device. If I’m running behind in the morning, I can put it in my bag and take it with me.
2. Minimize Stress
Much too often, we choose to allow things to bring us down and cause us immense stress. While there is such a thing as good stress (eustress), it’s usually distress that’s bringing us down. Avoiding all stress is unrealistic, but when facing stress, deep breathing and refocusing on what we can control are two great ways to minimize the negative effects stress tends to cause. Taking a few seconds to breathe a few times a day can do wonders for reducing stress.
Personally, feeling out of control can be very stressful for me. When I start to feel out of control, I like to make a note of the things that I can control as a gentle reset.
3. Try New Things
As I’m sure you can imagine, it’s so easy to get into a rut of doing the same thing regularly. Deviating from the normal, even in small ways, can be a great way to shake things up and boost morale. One way I like to add “trying new things” into my routine is by checking out food apps for fun summer promos. I am always surprised by who is offering free or discounted things that end up becoming new favorites!
The new thing could be an exercise class, a local event, lunch with a friend, or even trying an episode or two of a new TV show. The sky is the limit when it comes to trying new things. One of the new things you try could be the Truvaga!
In summary, when you do all of these things, you set yourself up for less stress, less mood swings, and more ability to enjoy life to the fullest. Self-care can be improved in so many ways: adding Truvaga to my daily routine was such an easy way to further improve my self-care regimen. We can’t take care of others if we don’t take care of ourselves!
Good luck on your journey to improved self-care & check out my previous blog posts here!
