Everyday Head-to-Toe strategies for Better Health

Everyday Head-to-Toe Strategies for Better Health Looking after your health, as you doubtless know, is crucial. But your busy schedule may not leave you as much time as you’d like to give yourself the care you need and deserve. Fortunately, you don’t truly need long stretches of free time to look after yourself — you can do it in short, powerful bursts, whilst you follow your everyday routine. Today, Redefining The Face  Of Beauty shares some great head-to-toe health strategies that will help you maintain your health and well-being. 1.  Set Positive Intentions for the Day When you wake up, a good habit to pick up is to set positive intentions for what you’d like the  rest of your day to be like.

HOW TO SURVIVE HIGH SCHOOL!
5 STEPS!

RECOGNIZE THAT HIGH SCHOOL
IS ONLY 4 YEARS!

EXPLANATION: Well, at least it should be only 4 years, unless you love it so much that you continue to fail just so you can ensure you spend 4 more additional miserable years there. But, for the typical teenager, 4 years is the maximum. This needs to be mentioned because when you are going through something life changing, i.e. high school, it seems like it is never ending. Right now you are not able to see much past high school. This is normal for everyone. Regardless of the situation, human beings have high tendencies to never focus on anything that is future oriented. Our thoughts are mainly focused on today and we forget that if we keep opening our eyes every morning, someday EVERYTHING WILL PASS...INCLUDING HIGH SCHOOL!
"17 For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. 18 So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal (2 Corinthians 4:17-18)."

EVERYONE IS INSECURE!

EXPLANATION: From the pretty popular gal who sits behind you in class to that high school jock that every chick wants to date...EVERYONE IS SUFFERING FROM SOME FORM OF INSECURITY AS A TEENAGER! This is very normal. Sometimes we do not allow ourselves to see the reality or the truth. The teenage years, are a trying time. You feel half grown, but at the same time you want to be independent. There is an inner struggle that happens on a daily basis. These inner thoughts can leave you feeling vulnerable, alone and insecure. The most important thing every teen in high school should know is that...YOU ARE NEVER ALONE WITH HOW YOU FEEL!  Whether you choose to see it or not, many of the young adults your age are going through the exact same thing!
 
 "The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun (Ecclesiastes 1:9)."

THE DO NOT LIST!
  • Do not have sex as an attempt to feel beautiful, popular and wanted
  • Do not compare yourself. No one is prettier that you if you are only looking at what you have.
  • Do not degrade yourself.  Tell yourself...YOU ARE WORTH IT!

    YOU WILL FEEL UGLY!
    EXPLANATION: Notice I said "feel." We feel happy, sad, loved and unloved....these are just feelings. Emotions can be deceiving. Just because you feel a particular way, does not mean that it is reality. Teenagers have high tendencies to place themselves under physical stress because they want to be the best! This usually occurs when you start to compare your life with someone else. Comparison is something that I will always mention because it is a self-destructive behaviour. If this problem is not dealt with at an early age, it will eventually lead you into a life of unhappiness.
    Today, recognize that NO ONE, not even a movie star, is better than you. Just because your clothes are not the highest quality or your shoes are not the latest fashion, does not mean you are ugly or unlikeable. Remember that many of your peers ARE NOT buying their own clothes, Their PARENTS ARE! They are dependent and bad things can easily happen to them to. Their parents could lose their jobs, divorce could happen, moving, or basically any life changing event.
    "All beautiful you are, my darling; there is no flaw in you ( Song of Solomon 4:7)."
    If you are a teenager, remember that you are not the Adult in your situation. Until you turn 18, your parents are the legal guardians over what you do and the decisions that you make. If that is true for you, then it is also true for that girl you want to be...SHE HAS LITTLE CONTROL OVER WHAT GOES ON AS WELL....
    "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? (Matthew 6:25)."

     Overprotective parents
    will never change!

    EXPLANATION: If you are under the false impression that your parents will someday become "less" protective...THINK AGAIN! As long as you are living, you will always be your parents child. A healthy parent child relationship will involve a parent ALWAYS feeling the need to protect their child. Many parents will always "treat" you younger, because in their mind, you will never grow up. This does not mean that your parents will always deal with situations correctly. They are still human and will make mistakes. It takes time for any parent to get use to their child growing up. With practice and communication between both you and your parents, eventually you MAY be able to come to a mutual agreement of respect.
    Just remember, you only get one set of parents and appreciate it, if they do things out of love. Protection is a form of love. However, if your parents are emotionally, sexually or physically abusive, this is NOT  a form of love and you should seek help immediately! You will know if something does not feel right. But other than those quick principles, you are living under their roof, so until you buy your own home, you have to live by their rules. Regardless of how pathetic and lame they may be...
     "Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the LORD your God is giving you (Exodus 20:12)."

    THOSE WHO CRITICIZE YOU,
    ARE BEING CRITICIZED...


    EXPLANATION: Being the source of comedy in ANY situation is not funny. Regardless of how much someone laughs about the jokes people make about you, it is hurtful and demeaning. Some people refer to these type of people as "bullies." A bully by definition is someone who targets the "weaker" individual. This definition is sad and FALSE! When someone is actively trying to make you feel low,  that is a "personal" issue, that they need to deal with. You are not "weak" if you have made a conscious decision to not participate in cruelty. You are actually more mature and you understand that "cruelty" does not make you look better, it makes you an "ugly" person.

    IF YOU ARE BEING BULLIED:

    • Bullies are likely to come from abusive backgrounds

    • They are insecure.

    • They see something in you that they feel they cannot have.

    • Bullies are targeting you, to make themselves feel better.
    HOW TO DEAL WITH BULLIES:
    • NEVER seek revenge on someone who is treating you wrong. As nice as it will to avenge someone for making you feel low, this is a NO NO! The moment you start to act upon behaving in a similar manner to your bullies, is the moment you have allowed the negativity to change who you are as a person. No longer can you cry that you are a victim. You have become the bully. This is not something you should aspire to be. Let other people say what they want to say, but always keep your nose cleans.

    • Being bullied is painful, but NEVER consider taking your life because a person is making you feel bad. Suicide is not the answer. High school does not last forever, and neither does life.

    • Report your bullies to a higher authority. Many adults see situations like this going on and turn their heads, this is WRONG! If you are an adult who is reading this, change your attitude and help. However, if you are a bullied child, find someone who cares. A support group or a trusted adult. Being bullied is not something that you can deal with on your own. It needs to stop. The worst thing you can do is not stand up for yourself. There are many ways to stand up for yourself than being physically or emotionally abusive back.  Sometimes being strong is walking away AND reporting them to an authority.

    How to deal with "special" people, "bullies."
    “If your enemy is hungry, feed him;
    if he is thirsty, give him something to drink.
    In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head . Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good (Romans 12:20-21)."


    BOTTOM LINE: As long as high school may seem, it is not forever. Someday you will get older and laugh at all of the things that once seemed so important. Of course, as life goes on, our level of what is a priority changes. But regardless of what situation comes your way through out life....YOU ARE NEVER ALONE....
    Be content with what you have, because God has said, "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you (Hebrews 13:5).
