Sometimes the little things are all that matter. The little things we do for another person are often bigger and better than the things we do on a grand scale. Opening a door for a stranger, buying your friend lunch unexpectedly, taking out the garbage when your significant other is tired from the day, picking flowers to put in a vase to liven up your room, buying ointment for that rash that has been irritating you — all of these may seem small, but the effects are plentiful. Taking care of yourself and doing small things for yourself is just as important as helping others and the bigger things we do.

I woke up feeling hung over. I realized I was not drinking enough water, and had been consuming massive amounts of sugar. I had been celebrating birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, and family reunions. It seemed every day was another reason to go crazy and love the sugar. When I woke up, I realized that the actions I took the previous day were affecting my current day, so I worked on being present and taking care of myself in the moment, especially the little things, like making sure I drank more water.
Our bodies are able to tell us what is going on. The way our body feels is the best indicator of how we are treating ourselves. How we treat ourselves is how we treat others and the world. If you are constantly feeling sick, tired, or depressed there is a reason. Our bodies reflect
I started a detox program and became more conscious of what I put in my mouth once again. Taking care of your body is important and what you put into it matters. Sugar can make your feel bad and cause oral health problems says Doctor Beadnell, a dentist in Portland, OR.
