Keep in mind that your gut health and care ritual will look different than someone else’s. What works for your gut health may not work for another person and vice versa. Give yourself permission and space to experiment in order to discover what the right balance looks like for you.

Here are some cute care ritual elements to consider trying out:

• Stress management, stress reduction and increasing your capacity to deal with life’s stressors
• Mindfulness
• Meditation
• Processing & releasing negative thought patterns and negative emotions
• Proper hydration!!
• Balanced intentional eating (and serving sizes)
• Exercise
• Gut supporting supplements 

Keep in mind that any self-care practice will not be beneficial unless you practice it with consistency. So be sure to create a balanced game plan that will work for your life and commit to that plan!
