​We keep ignoring the science about the overuse of antibiotics and the need for balance in our bodies.

​This is especially pertinent to women, who often don't have a STOP button and we can get overwhelmed and burnt out, because in our heads we are juggling so many things. Often for men, it can be the same scenario as a lot of men say " I have my list of things to do and my partner/wife's list to do". Jokes aside we all need to improve our self care routine. A good way is to define your OWN self care routine

​I have been so inspired in my own lifetime by Viktor Frankl's book, Man's Search for Meaning.
When a hopeful attitude is hard to find, please don't add to your desolation... Sit with that difficulty. Bring compassion to it. Let it (and you) soften. Ask yourself, "What will support me here?"
Let yourself sit quietly in a place of beauty.
Walk slowly, drawing in the present moment through your gaze.
Taste something...as a momentary gift to yourself.
Be the friend you need in this moment. That will also make it easier for others to give to you.
Reach out. Ask another being, "What would help?"
Listen to music; let it enter the cells of your being and your soul.
Any of these small, self-loving gestures will support "attitude"; they are also empowering.
