Great video, The rising cost of living is a pressing concern for many, impacting financial planning and investment strategies. Factors triggering this increase, such as inflation and changing economic conditions, require careful consideration
With all these economic heart attacks, selfcare is really hard. inflation can erode purchasing power over time, affecting the affordability of goods and services. It's crucial to adjust financial plans accordingly to mitigate its impact.
I've noticed my expenses creeping up steadily due to factors like rising housing costs and healthcare expenses. It's becoming challenging to maintain a comfortable standard of living while trying to save for the future.
Back in the day, managing expenses seemed simpler, but with the evolving economy, it's essential to stay proactive. Those who adapt their financial strategies tend to fare better in navigating the increasing cost of living.
I need to reach out them, seems they can help me explore investment options that offer inflation protection, which is what i need at this point in my life.
I wanted to share my notes on forest bathing. I took a course during a yoga festival in the Rockies and it was really good for grounding and connecting to the energy of Mother Earth. If you take time to touch a tree and be silent, you will feel or hear the humming (and no I ain’t on medication or am some woohoo tree hugger). There is a full documentary on the benefits and research of grounding yourself and using trees to help with this. Every time I go for a walk on the trails, I stop to connect with the trees and my energy is much different when I am done walking and grounding is much more powerful. Mother Earth and nature is a very powerful tool to help us heal and create vitality in our lives…which is why we should take better care of our planet.
I love the concept of grounding. I absolutely get that and as soon as the snow melts, I will try to get outside barefoot every day for at least a few minutes. I understand the science that everything is in motion and there's an energy there.
Forest bathing sounds amazing. However if I'm on the ground I wouldn't be able to get up! Maybe sitting in a chair counts! For my April self care, I'm driving 2 hours to a small town to see the eclipse.
I’ve never heard the term forest bathing, but I do love to spend quiet time in the woods. I will walk deep in and stand very still for a long time and just listen to the silence. I also love to lay on a lounge chair outside under the trees and let my body fall into a great relaxation state. Happy Easter everyone!
I need to do this more! Self care bought some new items at the thrift store for $7 (to include Essie nail polish trio $2). My daughter and I panted nails!
Nature walks. Also many beauty therapy schools often want models to practice their beauty skills on for a fraction of the price of a regular therapist.
I teach 2nd grade. You should see the size of the water bottles😀and of course, they are mostly Stanley. I lost count at 20 when I was doing bus duty the other day.
i appreciate lists like this and your channel. I'm turning 40 this year and appreciate all the tips geared at middle aged women, too. My therapist and I were talking about how sometimes self care is hard things, too, like working out or changing your lifestyle. it's not all sugar scrubs and manicures! appreciate your channel!
Great video. I count my blessings every morning. When Spring is near, I buy my favorite annual seeds basil, and nasturtiums. Also, I buy fabric (with a great coupon) to recover my outdoor pillows for spring and summer. Those two things bring me such joy! Happy Easter!!
Omg! Great topic and advice. This subject is long overdue for real life People. I’m listening to it multiple times. It’s really just common sense, but many of us are so busy taking care of others that we don’t think of ourselves!! Thanks 😊👍🙏🌸
Queen of journaling here. Lol. It’s my lifeline to my own sanity. Although I do like the idea of holing up in a cabin and reading (or just piddling lol) for a whole week. And lol. Journaling might be my way of trying to achieve the whole “do nothing and think about nothing.” Lol. Usually vegging out on true crime or a few movies also works for at least “distracting” my brain away from all the things it constantly spins around about. People knock it but to me it gets me well on my way to “dropping all my worries and stress” (much like the men who watch sports and they’re totally “somewhere else” lol). My brain needs “time off” Bcuz it works too hard already all the rest of the time. (For all of us overthinking, obsessive, perfectionistic, analytical, driven and prone to worrying kind of folks lol). There’s physically tired and then there’s mentally tired.
Genmaicha is green tea mixed with roasted rice which mellows out the taste. It's readily available in Asian stores here as it's very popular. I don't like green tea but will happily drink Genmaicha. Some great ideas here Sara!! Cheers from Oz!
I go to library sales, little free libraries, and thrift stores for books. There are so many current bestsellers or recent releases found in thrift stores. Some thrift stores will have sales of buy four books, get a fifth book free. I have found book stores at local colleges and universities to be great places to look for books as well. Most libraries do book sales twice a year and they will advertise them. I went to three thrift stores and a library book sale recently and only paid $27 and change for 62 books.
Be careful with infusers around cats. It's not good for them. My tip: Android phones have a "sleep time" function. Use it! It makes the screen grayscale, aka black & white. It's great. The name of the Microsoft guy is Bill Gates.
Definitely be careful with oils and all pets (and children). My phone goes to sleep at 9:30 and its an iPhone. Definitely a great idea! And Yes! Bill Gates whas the guy I was trying to think of! Thanks so much for watching!
@@saraconklinfrozenpennies Barbara Walters has been deceased for a while now. But I remember she interviewed Bill Gates at his quiet place and they discussed how many books he read.

My strategy is that, I connected with FOLMAR ADVISORY,

"They say that men actually have periods of time where they think about nothing." LOL! This cracked me up!😂
My husband does that all the time 😂😂😂😂
So does mine. I’ll say, “what are you thinking about”…… “literally, nothing”. 😂😮

That sounds like a great idea because the next eclipse will be in 2044.
We are doing this too. (Eclipse) We’re all taking the day off and going for a ride north. I already have our glasses!

There are several books called Second Spring.The book that I read was by Maoshing Ni, which was enlightening and refreshing.
Excellent tips! Thank you!
Just subscribed to Jenny Waters. Thank you for the recommendation 😊
I hope you enjoy her. She's just cute as a button!
I love a good self-care tip - we all need it. So much to go at here. Thank you.
I love this list of self care. Perfect 💐
What about skincare such as face moisturizer, serums etc. not sure if you mentioned this do you diy this as well.
Absolutely! You're right!
Do you recommend any books aging gracefully? I enjoyed the tips and tricks in the book Second spring.

Vacation ideas please! And how to plan a vacation and save forvit
I hear you
Wow great 👌 👍
Thank you so much
Last night I watched a show called Tig Notaro Hello Again. It was on Prime Video and absolutely hilarious! I laughed so much I almost peed my panties.
I love this. Nothing like a great laugh!
We didn't carry water bottles w/ us b/c there were clean water fountains every where. Not so much these days.
Can't hear sound...
👍👍👍
I have sound.
Sound?

Quick question. Do you work outside the home?
I do not. I run my own business from my home.
Laying out in the woods isn't weird
No sound
Maybe you have it muted? I hear it fine!
🤷♀️JUST WANT TO SHARE. ❤ I DID A SERVEY OF 2000 MEN 🤔, THEY ALL TOLD ME IT'S NORMAL TO THINK ABOUT NOTHING. 🤷♀️

Not me being 35
