Stephen Stills wrote a song titled, Love The One You’re With. It’s a great tune but I only remember one part of it. I sing this catchy refrain, “Love The One You’re With”, throughout the day because it reminds me to love the only one I’m with 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. That would be me! 

The only one YOU are with 24 hours a day, 7 days a week is you! Do you love the one you’re with?

Some people think putting themselves first is a selfish point of view. I am asking you to consider this: when your physical, mental and emotional energy is depleted you have nothing to give anyone else. You suffer. Your family suffers. Your community suffers and your finances suffer.

Self love inspires most of our greatest positive behaviors. Compassion is a huge behavior with far-reaching impact. Self love inspires a willingness to take risks and say ‘NO’ to things that are not in our best interest. We take care of ourselves; we treat ourselves with kindness and respect. All this ripples out to reach everyone in our circle of influence and more.

On a scale of 1-10, where are you on the self love scale? How often do you make yourself a priority? Do you commit yourself to eating nutritious, whole food? Do you get good sleep? Is your home environment designed for wellness? What do you do to take care of your mental wellness?

Mental wellness is just as important as physical wellness. It is directly influenced by positive self-talk, which is why you should take time to remind yourself of all your good attributes and characteristics that make you wonderful. When you love yourself, it becomes easier for you to love others and for people to love you in return.

When I was first introduced to Nikken in 1995, the shoe inserts were my first best investment. The technologies in these products gave me that little bit of extra energy to get me off the couch and walking. I left the potato chip bag in the cabinet and had the energy to make a salad. This small commitment put me on the road to total wellness. As the company advances, I advance in my wellness. 

Everyone loves a bit of jewelry to brighten their day. Nikken jewelry provided to you from Wellness Working has the added benefit of a variety of technology. The Heart Earrings are sweet and magnetic. The Kenko Perfect Link necklace features polished gold-plated stainless steel. It is designed to look good on everyone but it is made to last with the same material used for surgical instruments. Then we have the Powerband necklace and wrist bracelets. They are both made with a lightweight silicone rubber core that is filled with a combination of ceramic reflective fiber, tourmaline and static magnets. Athletes, fitness and younger people like these. Click more than one together to create a more versatile link. (We did this at my house to help with wellness needs for the dog).

Now let’s talk about skincare. True Elements Marine Organic Skincare is world class. Every product in this line is EcoCert COSMOS Organic certified, pH balanced and naturally fragranced. There are no parabens, synthetic colors or fragrances. Take your pick. I have been using this line since it was first introduced and Nikken continues to add to it and refine the formulas. Just when I think it can’t get any better, it does.

I personally love to gift the Kenko Power Sleep Mask. When my ‘monkey-mind’ is at creating havoc, it can be difficult to relax. I use this to take one of those power naps with wonderful results.  In the past I would toss and turn attempting to go to sleep; wake up with bags under my eyes and deep circles (you know what I mean). I grab this sleep mask and relaxation happens for me within a very short time. I wake up refreshed and ready for my day. Full disclosure: I also now have the complete Kenko Sleep System. 

I could go on and on. I love talking about Nikken. If you want to continue this with your specific issues, please contact me. We can set up an appointment for a customized Wellness Assessment. After all, Wellness Is Working Here!
