Nightly self care

I'm a person that needs nightly rituals for self care otherwise I end up having 

health problems the next day. To give you an idea what I do each night is I get ready for bed get out of my clothes into PJs and drink herbal tea before sleep plus reading is a good way to relax. 

I put my string lights on and candles to make the environment relaxing.

string lights

 It worth doing to let the day melt away otherwise your brain is too active.

candles relaxes the mind
With candles you use them like hygge which is great for winter time. 
I love using essential oils so I turn on diffuser and let me sink into more relaxed state mmm just what we need to do after long day. Some nights I read a book before bedtime but depending how tired I am. 
How do you plan to take care of yourself at night? What helps me is lavender and magnesium before sleep.
I don't like watching anything on TV including news I watch news during the day as my mind works over time.
I love giving my cat some cuddles before I crash to sleep nothing like someone giving you affection.
I hope this inspires you to take more care of yourself tonight.
Blessings from Lori at lifesuccessnz xx

Social media vs self esteem

Social media vs self esteem     A number of people that spend on social media is growing. When it comes to social media, lots of us only share the nice stuff from our lives. We don’t always want to post the sad stuff but that can mean that our feeds just end up looking like happy sunshine until you start looking at feeds of other people you follow, think that’s all there is in their life, and then feel horrible because your life isn’t as good, or wonder why they don’t have bad days like you do. We have all been there. To give you an idea of just how much a part of our lives social media impacted our lives I was abused by many people on social media and YouTube 5 years ago and it was horrible experience. In 2018 average kiwis spend 5-6 hours a day on internet 🛜 so that is not a healthy habit to have.  It has affected teenagers and causes them to commit suicide which is not okay at all.

Growth mindset or fixed mindset

  Growth mindset or fixed mindset—can be the way we think about ourselves and our abilities shape our lives? Absolutely. The way we think about our intellect and talents not only affects the way we feel, it can also affect what we achieve, whether we stick to new habits, or if we will go on to develop new skills. A growth mindset means that you believe your intelligence and talents can be developed over time. A fixed mindset means that you believe intelligence is fixed—so if you’re not good at something, you might believe you’ll never be good at it. We’re all about growth mindsets and encouraging people to adopt a positive outlook on learning. So, let’s look at growth vs. fixed mindsets together, explore the science, and see how people can change their mindsets over time.  Growth vs. fixed mindsets for life  Science once told us that the human brain stops developing in childhood, however, we now know that the brain is constantly evolving and changing. Many parts of the br...
