“Sometimes surrender means giving up trying to understand and becoming comfortable with not knowing” - Eckhart Tolle

Sometimes it’s necessary to let go of the need to understand everything… ever think of that one? 🤯

It’s true.

We need to surrender. Surrendering in this way can help release stress, anxiety, tension, and any pressure of needing to know or understand everything.

We may sometimes try to force ourselves to figure it out. However, it’s OKAY to not know something.

We need to normalize this feeling of comfort and acceptance in not knowing.

Do you agree? 💯

It’s time to start planting your own healing herbs! 🌿 Each of these herbs has unique healing properties and can be used in various ways.

Teas, tinctures, add them to juices, blend in your smoothie, cook with them. You name it!

Not only will they add a boost of flavor, but they provide health benefits.

There’s also nothing quite like picking your own fresh herbs from your own garden, right? 🙌

Shiny object syndrome... AKA the red shoe situation...are you familiar with this?

If you see someone wearing red shoes and they look so good with those red shoes, then you may think you need red shoes. However, you’re not really a red shoe person. So you put those red shoes on and don’t feel yourself in them.

Just because you see somebody else doing something, doesn’t mean you need to do that too.

One of the pillars at Wisemen is “Mind” and we preach that cultivating a strong mind is essential for daily life and facing obstacles + challenges in life. This means having your own goals, manifestations, career, etc.

Do what’s good for YOU and don’t get caught up in what others are doing.

Advice for busy adults: don’t let comparison steal your happiness! It’s true that comparison is the thief of happiness.

It’s so easy to fall into the trap of comparing ourselves to others we see on social media, colleagues, and others in our lives. However, it’s important to come back to your reality and remind yourself that everyone has a different journey in life, different strengths and weaknesses, different talents and passions.

Instead of focusing on the progress of others, focus on YOUR own progress, success, goals, and happiness. Stay focused on you.

Stress can build up throughout the workday, but doing these 5 small things can make a HUGE difference on your physical and mental health.

Taking short breaks throughout the day, even just a few minutes to stretch or walk around can help refresh the mind and prevent burnout. Even something as simple as standing up and moving around, even if it's just to make a cup of tea, can get the blood flowing and help ease any built-up tension in the muscles. Many of us have experienced how stiff the body can get when sitting at our desk for too long.

Taking a few moments to meditate or focus on your breath can do wonders to clear the mind and bring about a sense of calmness. One of our favorite breathing exercises is 4-7-8 breathing - inhale for 4, hold for 7, and exhale for 8.

Lastly, checking your posture and ensuring you are sitting comfortably can alleviate any physical discomfort or tension in the body. These small actions can make a huge difference in minimizing stress during a busy workday and lead to greater productivity and improved overall wellbeing.

Tell us how you handle stress during the workday below!

Keeping your skincare routine simple can help reduce the risk of exposure to endocrine disruptors, which are chemicals that can interfere with the body’s hormone system. Endocrine disruptors are commonly found in many skincare and personal care products, including moisturizers, sunscreens, and fragrances.

When you apply these products to your skin, these chemicals can be absorbed into your bloodstream and potentially disrupt your hormonal balance, leading to a variety of health issues such as infertility, thyroid disorders, and even some cancers.

By simplifying your skincare routine and using natural products that are free from harmful chemicals and endocrine disruptors, you can reduce your exposure to these potentially harmful substances. I personally choose to keep it really SIMPLE:

Shea Butter
Coconut Oil
Cocoa Butter
Vitamin E
You can also look for products that have been certified as safe and non-toxic by reputable organizations like the @environmentalworkinggroup

Remember, your skin is your body’s largest organ, and what you put on it can affect your overall health and wellbeing.

So, it’s important to choose skincare products that are safe, simple, and effective.

Getting great quality sleep is a game-changer, and here's why.

Quality sleep will help you live a healthier, longer life- filled with more clarity, happiness, decreased inflammation, less stress, plus self-repairing muscles that grow like magic- don’t sleep on sleep!

We all know that after a good night’s sleep, we feel like a million bucks. Right? Our outlook on life is better. We have more hope, energy, clarity, and calm.

On the other hand, when we get a bad night’s sleep, we’re more irritable, sluggish, foggy, and tend to make pretty poor decisions- especially when it comes to discipline with nutrition and healthy habits.

On a more serious note, lack of sleep, or sleep deficiency, is linked to a ton of chronic health problems, including heart disease, kidney disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, stroke, obesity, and depression. Additionally, besides reduced concentration, awareness, and judgment, prolonged sleep deprivation can wreak havoc on your central nervous system- disrupting how your entire body sends and processes information.

To bring things back to a more positive vibe, some really awesome stuff happens inside your “Temple” while you’re asleep- and that’s why “Rest” is one of the Wisemen’s 6 pillars of health.

Sleep allows the brain and body to slow down and engage in the process of recovery- vastly improving your overall health and longevity.

Try this simple exercise tip to improve your cardiovascular health, decrease anxiety and stress, and improve your mood!

Many of us are sitting at a desk all day and it can be detrimental to our lymphatic system, which is responsible for removing toxins from the body. Our lymph does not move unless WE move. So when we aren’t moving, toxins in the body can not be excreted properly.

This could lead to a buildup of toxins and increase inflammation in the body leading to other health issues.

So, what can we do?

MOVE OUR BODIES! Even simple movements such as short walks and stretching can be beneficial and help stimulate the lymphatic system.

This is a simple trick you can do at home - 5 - 15 minutes per day jumping and shaking.

If you have trouble with meditation, this is for you.

Instead of laying or sitting on the floor with your eyes closed and trying to quiet your mind, try this instead. Focus on your 5 senses.

Enhance your meditation practice by engaging with your senses: what do I smell? What do I taste? What do I see? What do I hear? What do I feel?

Give it a try and let us know how you did!

For Mental Health Awareness Month, we'll be talking about ways to maintain your mental health more than usual! These are just 3 quick tips we have for boosting those endorphins.

Nutrition, mindfulness, and movement are 3 key players when it comes to mental health.

Proper nutrition is essential for optimal function for the brain, nervous system, and providing nutrients to the body for energy, thoughts, and emotions. A well balanced, nutrient-dense, and whole foods diet will help provide healthy functions for digestion and serotonin.

Mindfulness practices such as yoga, meditation, and breath work can improve your mental clarity, reduce stress and anxiety, and keep you in a state of calmness.

Movement as simple as walking can contribute to reducing stress, anxiety, and depression by increasing the production of endorphins.

Combined, these 3 tips can help you each day to support your mental health and wellbeing. Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.

The conventional health system and pharmaceutical industry are designed to make large profits off your health. The “Healthcare” model is actually designed around “sick care.” Why? Because it provides a “solution” to your chronic health issues only after they have become increasingly present and pressing. The conventional model is not designed to keep you healthy and absent of disease, but rather manage the symptoms when they arise.
