Self-care Advent Calendar 2020
24 days of pure bliss to boost your wellbeing and lower your stress in new ways
When I'm asking women about the number 1 thing they would like to change in their lives if they had a magic wand, the answer is almost unanimously :
less stress, less fatigue and less overwhelm.
December is one of the most stressful months to many women and this year, with the pandemic, lockdown and the emotions like fear, sadness, anxiety and isolation coming with it, we have to be incredible strong to avoid complete exhaustion.
This is why I created the self-care Advent calendar for you!
I know too well myself how difficult it can be to make room for self-care as a woman when we are feeling overwhelmed. And yet, this is exactly what we really need to do to re-gain energy and feel on top of our to-do-list.
Did you know that when we women are stressed we deplete our feel good hormones (oxytocin) ? This is where we welcome anxiety, fear, depression, hormonal imbalances and more stress into our lives. A vicious cycle. So, to get our head above the water again and be able to deal with our challenges we need to reload our oxytocin levels first. This is a vital need. The good news is that this is actually quite easy to do - but you need to allow yourself to take care of yourself.
The purpose of this Advent calendar is exactly that: Allowing you to take care of and nurture yourself with small daily tips, reflection exercises and ideas to boost your feel good hormones, increase your wellbeing and lower your stress. Each day you will receive a new gentle, but effective boost that you can incorporate in your daily life - a boost of pure bliss.
Bliss
Feel in flow, listen to your needs and fall in love with the wonderful woman you truly are. Let yourself be spoiled
Energy
Note how taking care of yourself will boost your energy and capacity to do all the rest on your to-do-list
Resilience
Feel how shifting your perspectives will empower you in new ways - make choices that are aligned with your values and needs
Acts of loving kindness and making other people happy, spark our own happiness levels (and oxytocin) too.
So help the women you care about in your life; friends, sisters, colleagues...by surprising them with this calendar as a caring December gift instead of chocolate. Spark a little light in their day and allow them to nurture themselves too.
We're not the only ones who deserve care right now and together we can change this world for the better. This is why for each Advent calendar you buy, CHF 7.00 will go to UN Women for The Shadow Pandemic: Violence against women during Covid-19 campaign.
On the order form you will be able to add any amount to this if you wish to do so.
How does it work ?
Step 1
Buy the calendar and pamper yourself with self-care, nurturing and new ideas while you are lowering your stress and fatigue. Give hope and love to the women concerned by the Shadow Pandemic
Step 2
Who are the women in your life who deserve a little extra bliss right now? Show them that you care by offering them the calendar as a little surprise
You will be able to send them your own personal and loving message
Step 3
Each day, from December 1st to December 24 you will get access to a new idea, reflection exercise, thought, tip or action that will help you boost your feel good hormones and lower your stress...well beyond December
Hi, I'm Birgitte
I am truly passionate about women's health and wellbeing and by uplifting them to live their best lives - their true potential - so that they can shine their light in this world.
Since my teenage years I have been wondering why so many people, and especially women, don't see themselves as I see them. They tend to not being able to see their authentic uniqueness, their true greatness and the immense possibilities they have in life. A potential going far beyond what they can see.
This is why I feel so drawn to help women dusting the dirt off to let their diamonds shine bright.
As a naturopath and a certified functional medicine health coach I have created my own global approach uplifting women's physical, emotional, mental and spiritual health and possibilities through their authentic selves.
Through my work and coaching with corporate teams and individuals around stress, resilience, motivation and wellbeing and through my own personal experience as a woman with 3 kids and approaching the 50 years I have discovered, researched and now found solutions to the little known differences between men and women with regards to stress & hormones which can have a major impact in all areas in our lives. As you can often hear me say : "We are equal, but definitely not the same".
Stress, can create tremendous chaos in our hormones and very often, our hormonal imbalances and symptoms even through menopause can be tracked back to physical, emotional or mental stress.
Some of my super powers are hope and resilience - a way of finding comfort and seeing possibilities in challenges coming my way. I help others to do the same. Through this pandemic and now 2nd lockdown in many countries I feel it as my duty to sprinkle light, magic and hope around me. This is the idea behind this Self-care Advent Calendar :) A special treat to women.
Oh yes, I am Danish and currently living in Lausanne in Switzerland. I have lived in several different countries and continents and my clients are from all over the world. I work in English, French and Danish of course.
