Self-care as an investment in your well-being!
In the hustle and bustle of everyday life, self-care is often the first thing we skip. Work, family, social obligations – the days fly by. When you keep putting yourself last, you become exhausted. A metaphor for this is the oxygen mask on an airplane, you have to take care of yourself first before you can properly help others. Self-care is not a luxury, it is a necessity. It helps you stay physically and mentally balanced, so that you have enough energy to get the most out of your life.
KIMAIA gives 5 practical tips that can make your self-care routine a little easier so that you can incorporate it into your daily life. Bring that balance into your life!
1. Make self-care a daily habit
A fixed moment during the day, for example in the morning, a small ritual where you pay attention to yourself, your well-being, the support to start your brain and body. Give yourself the fresh start of the day and add the supplements below for optimal support.

Use the toner, serum, moisturizer and any additions such as a mask or oil to make you shine every day. The care from outside.
2. Create space for deep relaxation 🧘♀️
Every now and then you need more than just those short moments for yourself. Plan a wonderful massage, go to the sauna or choose something that can give you total relaxation. By consciously planning this you will experience how good it can be to treat yourself to this.
Why?
Reduces stress and tension in your body.
Stimulates blood circulation and relaxes your muscles.
Gives you a mental reset, making you more productive and positive.
3. Listen to your body and avoid exhaustion
Are you feeling tired, irritable or having trouble concentrating? These are signs that you are biting off more than you can chew. Listen to your body and give yourself breaks.
What helps?
Sufficient sleep: for most people this is 7-9 hours per night. Sleep gives your body the chance to recover, to process what you have experienced during the day.
Avoid excessive caffeine and refined sugars, which cause your blood sugar levels to spike and then plummet.
Eat nutritious meals: the right nutrients give energy and strength. If you need more proteins, the KIMAIA protein formulas are a perfect addition to your diet.
4. Movement as a self-care moment 🏋️♀️
Exercising is often seen as an obligation, something you should force yourself to do. Do you know that feeling when you leave the gym or when you come home after an intensive walk, you feel like you can take on the world? That you are energetic, full of motivation to keep going? You never want to lose that positive feeling, do you?
Allow yourself to let this positive, powerful and happy side of you have a dominant position in your daily life. In addition to experiencing more energy, exercise reduces stress levels and improves your sleep. Benefits that will not only benefit your physical health, but also your mental health will definitely become stronger.
How do you apply this?
Choose a form of exercise that you enjoy: yoga, strength training, dancing or walking: focus on yourself.
Schedule it into your weekly schedule so that you make an appointment with yourself in advance.
Don't forget your cooling down moment: depending on the intensity this can differ, take a moment to think that this moment is all about you. Did you get satisfaction out of it?
5. Let go of perfectionism and be kind to yourself 💛
You don't always have to do everything perfectly. Sometimes "good enough" is enough. Give yourself the space to make mistakes, to say no and to choose what gives you energy.
Last but not least:
Make self-care a priority and make concrete agreements with yourself.
Find out what gives you the best relaxation, what is realistic for you and what suits your lifestyle?
Remember: self-care is not a luxury, but an investment in your well-being.
Your selfcare, your moment
Whether it’s a relaxing bath, a massage or a moment for yourself with a cup of tea, self-care helps you to be stronger, more energetic and happier. As the metaphor of the oxygen mask on the plane already described: if you take good care of yourself, you can also mean more to the people around you.
