Prioritise your health.
Quite often, when your body gives signals that it’s not well, or out of balance, we ignore it, we put up with it, and try to continue on with our daily lives. I like to call these body signals ‘red flags.’ 🚩
Red flags can be ongoing body pain, severe anxiety, chronic fatigue, frequent migraines, stomach pain, menstrual issues, skin problems. and so much more. Quite often, it’s not until we’re in a really bad state of health that we finally seek help. Sometimes it’s too late.
So why do we do this to ourselves? Well, the theory is that the first step is always the hardest to accomplish because you have zero momentum. You have to pick up out of nowhere and begin, and that’s really hard. Often, you may not even know where to begin so you avoid attending to your health issues altogether. You put up with feeling cranky, anxious, exhausted, or in pain. You’re not feeling good, so you’re not enjoying life. But wouldn’t it be great to feel balanced and full of vitality again. Why wait until you’ve fallen off the edge of the cliff? 🚑
It’s so much easier to get your health back on track when you make the first step as soon as your body signals to you that it needs help.
Take the first step now, and your body will really thank you...❤️

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
