7 WAYS TO YOUR SELF CARE

 

 

I am here to give you 7 easy ways for Your Self Care, they are very simple and I sure hope you incorporate every one to your daily life.

 

 

move1- GET MOVING

Find movement you enjoy and engage in it daily. 

sleep2- SLEEP, REST, AND RELAX

When you are sleep-deprived and/or stressed, your body will crave sugary snacks and caffeine for quick artificial energy.

 

schedule 3- SCHEDULE FUN TIME

Boredom and stress can lead to overeating. Make sure to take time to laugh, play, and participate in activities you love.

 

shower 4- TAKE A HOT SHOWER/BATH 

This is a great way to engage the relaxation response and wipe out cortisol, the stress hormone at the root of weight gain.

 

meditate_copy5- MEDITATE

Meditation is another great tool to engage the relaxation response.Start with just 5 minutes each day and build your way up.

 

move 6- SPEND TIME IN NATURE

Spending time in nature connects you with the Earth and can provide a natural high. Nature is great at bringing you back to the present moment and can be a source of stress reduction.

 

hug 7- HUG

Humans require physical contact, and long hugs are a great way to get it. They relax you and lead to produce happy hormones.

 

So, my question is.... How many of these self care tips have you done today?

I have been modeling for more than half of my life, and one of my Beauty Secrets is my SLEEP.

I travel with my "travel pillow" everywhere. For me, having a comfortable pillow is one of the keys to have a good night sleep. 

I have a busy modeling schedule so I often have to take the "red eye" (a flight departing late a night and arriving early morning the next day), and having to be on set working  that morning.

 

Trying to get as much sleep on a plane is not the easiest task (especially when you have people talking next to you all night or a person having a poop accident on the seat next to me.... Yes, you read it right , the lady next to my seat poop in the middle of the night in her seat! That is a history all by itself... I will tell you one day.) with that said, I always try to make the most of being comfortable and get some hours of sleep even if is on a plane or different hotel beds.

 

The true is, the days I don't get a full night of sleep I feel a "little off", drink way to much coffee and crave sugary and high calories food (anyone with me ???)

 

My perfect sleeping hours are 8 hours, now having 2 kids is always a hit or miss having the perfect night sleep.(Anyone with me on this one too?)

 

Here are some of my daily habits that works for me getting a good night sleep :

 

- Turning off my phone at least 1 hour before bed

-Taking a warm shower at night 

-Exercise early in the day

-Cutting caffeine by lunch time.

 

So, is your lack of sleep making you fat? Do you always have good night of sleep? Do you crave sugary foods during the day?
