Most of us are not paying enough attention to self care.
So many of us are having a having a difficult time mentally and emotionally today with the impact the Covid-19 pandemic has had on our normal lives. As hard as it is to for many people to stay positive and not be drawn into the negativity and fear, it can make a huge difference in helping us stay physically healthy and keep our immune system strong. We need more self-care to help keep stress levels down. There are lots of free relaxation and guided meditations online everywhere. Try practicing some daily gratitude by writing down at least five things every day you are grateful for. Even something as simple as being able to go for a walk in during these wonderful fall temperatures we have right now. Practice being present.
Acupuncture is wonderful for boosting your spirits when you are feeling lonely or down and worrying about the future. There are some wonderful spirit points that can be used that have beautiful names. To name a few: Soul Door, Spiritual Soul Gate, Spirit Burial Ground, Rich for the Vitals, Assembly of Ancestors, Bubbling Spring and Foot Above Tears.
Diet is also very important. Eat as many whole (non-processed) fresh foods as you can. Avoid sugar and and limit or avoid alcohol.
