Self-Care For Introverts: 17 Soothing Rituals For Peace In A Hectic World

August 26, 2020July 16, 2018 by Barrie Davenport

If you're an introvert, the world around you can often feel overwhelming.

Yes, you enjoy socializing, being with friends, and even being a leader at work — to a point. But when you get overstimulated, you just have to pull back to recharge.

You need more alone time more than your extroverted friends require, and when you hit the wall, you start to feel edgy, irritable, and foggy.

Does this mean there's something “wrong” with you? Absolutely not! Introversion is a normal and common personality trait, and introverts make profound and valuable contributions in personal and professional settings.

Consider the world-changing contributions of introverts like Albert Einstein, Abraham Lincoln, Bill Gates, Rosa Parks, Warren Buffet, Eleanor Roosevelt, J.K. Rowling, and Barak Obama.

Many people these days are getting standing desks to help their healthy lifestyle habits overflow into the workplace.

Standing (rather than sitting) at your desk for part of the day is great for your health and a trend that is becoming more and more mainstream.

However, while doing your work at a standing desk has many health benefits, standing too much isn't good either. Prolonged standing can increase whole body discomfort, making it difficult to focus on your work.

That's why combining standing and sitting or resting on a stool is a great option. Consistently moving throughout the day is the best thing you can do for your health.

August 26, 2020May 7, 2018 by Barrie Davenport

Think about how much work your feet do for you each day.

They literally carry us through the day, withstanding hundreds of pounds of pressure. Each time your heel lifts off the ground when walking, it forces the toes to carry one half of your body weight.

While research and studies often focus on how much we sit all day, there's no denying that we also walk and stand a lot.

The average person will walk around 115,000 miles in a lifetime -- the equivalent of four times around the Earth!

Just like your other muscles and joints, your feet will benefit from massage.

Foot massage in the form of reflexology dates back over 5,000 years to ancient practices and was introduced to the United States in the early 1900s.
