Today, many people live under enormous pressure. The daily rhythm is marked by endless tasks, constant availability and a never-ending flow of information from news and social networks. This stimulus overload, coupled with the feeling of being trapped in a corset of obligations and expectations, often leads to burnout and personal disconnection. Several studies have shown that our brain is not prepared to withstand so many stimuli on a permanent basis, which in the long term generates stress and a distancing from our own well-being.
The Art of Letting Go: Inspiration from Mel Robbins
Author Mel Robbins, in her book The Let Them Theory, highlights the importance of letting go of what we cannot control. By focusing on what is within our reach, we regain calm and inner clarity. This perspective helps us to free ourselves from unnecessary burdens and to focus on our own well-being. Practicing mindful pauses and allowing ourselves to distance ourselves from external expectations thus becomes a necessity for taking care of ourselves.
Practical self-care according to Martha Beck
Martha Beck, in her book Beyond Anxiety, offers practical strategies for reducing stress and protecting our personal boundaries. She teaches us the importance of listening to our needs and integrating small self-care rituals into daily life. It can be something as simple as a moment of silence, a walk in the fresh air or a moment of mindful dedication when applying a personal care product.
Every small gesture matters: taking care of ourselves is an act of self-respect and self-love. Just as we do not have an "iron heart", recognizing our emotional needs is a fundamental first step in strengthening our well-being.

When we apply our Body Butter, we can imagine wrapping ourselves in a protective and fragrant cloak, like an embrace of personal care that strengthens us from within.
And by gently massaging our multi-active face cream into the skin, we can accompany the gesture with a positive affirmation:
"I am enough."
"He treats me with kindness today."
"I'm not that picky about myself."
"I allow myself to find calm within and without."
