Good evening #ladies,
happy Easter Monday holiday to everyone of us.
Question one
"Self Care: How do you care for your body and mind when you are not sick?. What is your every day health care routine like?"
Life is good, and it's honourable for us to take quality care of ourselves. Every woman is beautiful, elegant, phenomenal, we are made by God Almighty to showcase his wisdom and intelligence about creation.
Therefore, it is basically necessary that we rate ourselves as God has in mind by building us as a home
Women are the embodiment of procreation for the continuation of life. We should always have it in mind and as well know that none of us has a replica. Only the life that's taken good care of will last
MY SELF CARE ROUTINE
I have my personal self care life routine that I practice most times, I can't say daily because I do skip it some days but comes back to continue where I stopped because every day's hustle do not allow for this properly on daily basis.
I normally wake up by 5:am for the day, first of all drink some water from my 75cl container I constantly keep by my bedside.
I will carefully stretch out my legs, arms and my body. Then I will go straight to the comfort room to ease myself.
After which, I will start thanking God Almighty for his grace and mercies towards me, thanking him for who he's and have been to me. Singing one or two songs as the flow through my mind at that very moment.
Thanking God for my life, family, extended family and loved ones, how he has kept us the previous day. I will open a scripture or two read through to fortify my heart for the day, meditate a little, anoint my head and declare God's words over me and my loved ones.
Reminding God of his covenant of defense, provisions and protections over our precious lives.... It is his word, so that's how I apply it daily.
After that, I will lay my request at his feet in prayer of thanksgiving, and supplication.
After these prayer section, I will remake my bed to look nice again, sweep the whole big house sometimes but some other times, I will sweep only our bedroom.
The house is too big, I may not go round in that short period of time. Other days, I will carefully do that.
After these, I will go straight to my goats' pen to feed them and clean their environment. I have some goats, in my compound, I like goats.
Coming back I will make breakfast for me and my family members. Mostly my husband by asking him his choice of breakfast, I will make it for us...
I will then get into the bathroom to nourish and pamper my body. I have a shower gel I use regularly and a particular bathing soap that accepts my skin type. I know about this!
After bathing, I will apply my body cream that suits me and it refreshes my skin type, because we all have different skin types, you have to know which skin type you are made off.
Find out what suits your own skin type and body then apply them to get good skin care result that will make you happy. I know mine and apply what suits it.
I will then wear my perfume, dress up with any of my dresses my heart accepts for the day.
Whether I'm going out or stays in doors, this is my routine, I love to smell fine at all times, I will apply my powder, apply my lip balm.. I love looking good for myself. I also eat a lot of fruits and vegetables.
** These are the major pattern I always apply to take care of myself** Others are very similar to these ones; I'm always grateful to God over his doings to me**
I carefully and intentionally keep a joyful heart not allowing outside happenings and reactions to penetrate into my heart to destroy my heart of joy
** I'm kind to myself, because I love me, and I'm always looking for a way to improve myself**
I love to be in the now, having the knowledge of what is onboard in my environment and around the world by listening to the news.
I have a small transistor radio that I turn on to know what is happening around, it gives me joy and fulfillment. I love quietness and peaceful environment.
I apply my light makeup when going out to look attractive, I don't know who I may meet along the way, it gives me joy to look good too**
I'm a good relator, I communicate with people I don't ignore people. But, i'm not stupid, I know my caliber in life, and I know my limit in most things.
I do make some calls across to my loved ones or do some Whatsapp messages across to them, just to communicate and to know how some people are, mostly my sister in the village to ask her, how home?.
Or to know how they are faring, what's happening around them, for me not to be taken unawares, preparation is better than emergency.
Sometimes not always, I do go through my Instagram to learn one or two things. It could be the usage of natural ingredients to keep our body's firm, clean and in order, Some of such mixtures do work.
Like massaging of my face, having natural spa preparations and usages to myself and by Some of them gives good results and joy...
Life is good, let's make good use of life, and let our lives count for good
Thank you everyone for coming around.
