The Importance of Self-Care in the Current Cost of Living Crisis – have you considered whether Omrub’s soothing properties, relaxing smell and pleasant feel on your skin can form a part of your self-care routine?
In today's economic climate, the cost of living is creating a lot to worry about for many of us. With increased expenses for everyday necessities, it can feel like there's little room for anything other than just getting by. With all this financial strain, self-care might seem like a luxury we cannot afford. However, prioritising self-care during these challenging times can end up being more than a little helpful for both our physical and mental well-being.
Why Self-Care Matters More Than Ever
1. Managing Stress and Anxiety
The economic pressure of living in a high-cost environment often means increased stress levels for many of us. Financial worries easily spiral into anxiety. Self-care practices, such as mindfulness, exercise, or simply taking time to breathe and relax, can help take the edge off worrying and help prevent going into that downward spiral. By finding different ways to manage stress, we can improve our resilience and ability to deal with pressure.
Many of Omrub’s customers get immense relief from the pain of tension headaches which can occur all too easily in these stressful times. Co-owner Angela says that many Omrub users, herself included, also look forward to breathing in the aroma of Omrub as they apply it before bed every night and feel less relaxed if they miss their nightly application. Also knowing the relief that Omrub will provide to their aches & pains, helping relax the body for a more peaceful night’s sleep can help relax both body and mind.
2. Maintaining Physical Health
When budgets are tight, health and even exercise expenses might seem like a low priority. However, if we are honest with ourselves, we know that not looking after ourselves can lead to greater health problems down the line as well as adding to “just not feeling good.” Simple practices like eating balanced meals, getting regular exercise, and sleep are fundamental to maintaining good health. So that we don’t add to our troubles with post workout pains, it’s really helpful to have a tin of Omrub on hand to quickly ease any aches or niggles!
3. Enhancing Productivity and Focus
Financial stress can impact our ability to concentrate and be productive, which can affect our work performance and personal achievements. Self-care strategies, such as setting aside time for exercise, hobbies, or relaxation, can improve mental clarity and focus which, in turn, can enhance work performance – and most of us feel better knowing that we have done a good day’s work – regardless of what type of work we do!
4. Building Emotional Resilience
In a world where external pressures can seem relentless, developing emotional resilience is crucial. Self-care routines that include activities like journaling, meditation, or spending time with loved ones can help build this resilience. By nurturing our emotional health, we become better equipped to manage the ups and downs of financial challenges.
5. Building a Supportive Routine – could Omrub be a part of yours?
There is comfort in routines! Establishing a consistent self-care routine can give us a sense of control in the middle of the pressures of financial uncertainty. Whether it’s a weekly yoga class, a regular chat with a friend, or a nightly ritual such as applying Omrub to body aches or to your temples, having reliable routines can offer comfort and stability.
The real cost of Omrub … a little goes a long way.
Since buying the business Apa and Angela have worked hard to decrease the cost of producing Omrub as they want others to have the opportunity to buy Omrub and experience the relief from pain that they have. The cost of obtaining the very rare ingredients globally and from suppliers who meet Biogro’s strict organic certification criteria makes this challenging. Regular users of Omrub all attest to the fact that only a small amount of Omrub is needed for real relief – this is because unlike competitor products Omrub contains no fillers such as water, making it professional strength, meaning that you have to use less. So, while the upfront price may look higher than that of competitors, the per application cost of Omrub is probably less. Additionally, because Omrub is so versatile as well as being used as an anti-inflammatory for muscle aches and pains, it is also effective for tension headaches, sore feet, and poor circulation all of which can mean you often don’t need to buy a number of products to treat different ailments. The cheapest way to purchase Omrub is to sign up online for an auto delivery of the 60gm 3 pack (auto delivery can be as little as every 6 months). This brings the per tin cost of the 60gm tin down from the RRP $39 to $33. We will also be at the Auckland Go Green Expo 16 and 17 November where we will have show specials available so you can stock up for those Christmas gifts or stocking stuffers.
So, you may want to consider making Omrub a part of your daily self-help routine, giving you that little “pick me up” in these tough times.
