Kudos Nina for another well informed and knowledgeable post/article!
You are definitely right about consistency being the key to success in all areas of our lives, specifically in our health and beauty routines. That is something I suffer from however. I am not consistent in my beauty routine as much as I try to be. My adult ADHD doesn’t help the matter either. Lacking motivation and energy and being a pro at procrastination hinders me greatly. But it is the truth and facts about consistency to see results and to feel and look better. Something I’m in the process of working on. Must do better! Good for you for doing so yourself.
One thing I want to add however, is that I’ve learned a lot this past year about strength training and and how it can help women over 40 to be more active, strong (mentally and physically), balanced, and in shape. But one thing I want to add to this is how changing your routine up everyday/every week/etc. is very important for us to see faster and more consistent progress and results. Challenging our mind and our muscles, switching it up and keeping them guessing is a good thing. It also helps prevent injuries. It is crucial to gaining muscle mass and bone density too. Just a suggestion here. I have started strength training this year, only doing it for a half hour with a personal trainer 2-3 days per week. And I already saw results starting a couple of months ago already. It is really important to keep your body/muscles healthy and strong, along with seeing muscle growth and strength gain.
I’m very curious what you think about this, being such an important, effective, and inspiring leader in the health and beauty sector. I and many more of us are very fortunate to be here and know you, and to learn from you as well.
Keep going and keep up the good work and vibes! I wish you luck in your journey to self care and success.
Thank you so much! And you’re right, strength training is a game changer. I’ve been doing it consistently for about a year now, and it’s made such a difference in how I feel and look. It’s honestly one of the best things I’ve added to my routine.
Niña, you nailed it! My mother is that negative toxic person & refuses to give it up! Unfortunately I have to stay in this toxic environment regardless! Makeup has become an escape for me. I get to sit quietly alone in the bedroom with a pretext to avoid listening to her incessant complaints about everything & everybody. I was trapped in the car with her yesterday when I made the mistake of trying to shut her up about badmouthing her aide (that she’s a liar—-not true), trying once more to get her to respect my wishes not to speak negatively! You cannot imagine the tirade she spewed back at me. I was sorry I said anything. It’s hard to keep trying to tune her out.
That’s the way to do it. Slow lifestyle change. Gradual not over doing it or going on diets.
