Breathe. Yup, just take a minute and breathe. I tell myself that at least a dozen times a day. I’ve found that nurturing our state of being is just as important as nurturing our bodies. When our inner balance is off, it shows up everywhere, in our skin, in the texture of our hair, even in our overall energy.
Your state of being is your whole self. When it’s balanced, life flows more smoothly. When it’s off, stress, agitation, and exhaustion creep in. Finding that balance looks different for everyone, but it’s always worth the effort. Here are some practices I’ve learned over the years that help me nurture my own wellbeing.
Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff
Yes, it’s cliché but it’s true. In the heat of the moment, little issues often feel bigger than they are. Step back and ask: In the grand scheme of things, does this really deserve my energy? Most times the answer is no. Breathe, put it in perspective, and let go of the drama.
Remember That “This Too Shall Pass”
Life is unpredictable, and that’s part of its beauty. When things feel heavy, remind yourself that change is always around the corner. Just as seasons shift, so do our struggles. What feels overwhelming today may look very different tomorrow.
Make What’s Around the Corner Great
We often underestimate how much control we truly have. Start small, but start. Pursue your dream, try the new thing, take the risk. Momentum builds, just like a snowball rolling downhill. Don’t let fear or hesitation keep you from creating the life you want.
Smile More — Even If You Don’t Feel Like It
Smiling (and laughing) literally changes our body chemistry. Even a “fake” smile can shift your mood until it becomes real. Smiles are contagious because the world reflects them back, and over time your body begins to crave the “high” of happiness.
Don’t Chase Happiness 24/7
No one is joyful every moment of every day. And that’s okay. Happiness comes in waves, sometimes it’s quiet contentment, other times it’s an overwhelming beam-you-can’t-hide kind of joy. When those moments arrive, soak them in. Enjoy them fully until the next wave comes.
Enjoy What Is Here
So many people are searching — for answers, for meaning, for purpose. But often, the search itself robs us of presence. Instead of looking for what might be missing, appreciate what is already here. Life feels richer when we savor what’s in front of us.
Be Kind (Always)
Kindness changes everything. A kind word, a patient gesture, a small thank-you, these little acts ripple far beyond the moment. Don’t judge what you can’t see in someone else’s life. Everyone wants to feel they matter. Make people feel seen and appreciated. It’s simple, and it’s powerful.
🗝️ Key Takeaway
Caring for your state of being is just as vital as caring for your body, balance, kindness, and perspective show up in your skin and your life.
