Why Self-Care is Every Parent’s Superhero
Self-care is not selfish. It actually helps you become better and more productive.
In a fast-paced world, self-care is rare for many working parents—whether you’re working or staying at home with your kids full time. However, stepping back and taking time off can actually do wonders. Though it’s true that parents need to work and earn for their families, there are simply instances when you need to put away your laptops and phones to be able to pause.
Be the bida you want to be
Sometimes, you have to be the bida to inspire others. And being the bida about your health can encourage fellow parents to take better care of themselves in all aspects. This includes a simple routine of exercise, proper sleep, and eating right! Be proactive about your health. Simple walks and a few minutes away from your screens can help in calming your spirit, too.
In line with taking care of yourself, Sanofi Consumer Healthcare creates its mission to put health in your hands. It aims to make Filipinos realize that self-care means ensuring that you take care of your health and access to healthcare is easy.
Be a bida through proactive care because the care you give yourself today can benefit your loved ones in the future. Sanofi Consumer Healthcare is home to brands like the probiotics Erceflora, the vitamin Pharmaton, the liver care Essentiale, the digestive wellness brands such as Buscopan, and Dulcolax, and hygiene care product, Lactacyd. These brands provide you with simple and accessible products that ensure your gut, liver, and the rest of your body are given ultimate care. After all, the kind of care you give is the care you will get.
Be a bida through movement. Exercising not only lets you sweat out toxins but increases energy and metabolism. It makes you stronger and able to take on any task ahead.
Be a bida by eating right. Eating a healthy and balanced diet nourishes the body, including your skin, giving you that glow and confidence.
Lastly, be a bida in taking care of your mental health. Working for the family and looking after your children are priorities, but assessing yourself and giving yourself some attention also matters. For you to be able to take care of your family, you need to invest in yourself first.
Care for yourself and the rest will follow
To be able to love and care for someone starts with you. Carving out some time for yourself is important now more than ever— given the fast pace of our day to day. Being bida by loving yourself first and foremost will help you and the whole family. A healthy and happy you is felt by others, allowing them to be inspired, encouraged, and ultimately—loved.
