Breast Pain is No Laughing Matter
Welcome to Summer – Welcome to Freedom!
Celebrating Self Care
Don’t Lose Sight of Caring for Your Own Needs
During the month of May here at Violet we are celebrating self care for all the mom’s out there and honoring the achievements and contributions you continue to make to our world. It is no small thing to be a mom, but oh the impact it has on us all! What you do creates change, elevates love, and binds families together. We thank you!
Sometimes in all we do, we can lose site of our own selves. That’s why this month we are celebrating self care for mothers – we want to focus on self-care for YOU! We know that breast pain is no laughing matter, and dealing with monthly hormonal issues can put a big kink in our daily routines as moms. Violet is here to help.
Most of the time it is YOU who is giving the care to your children, your families and husbands, your work, and your community. Now is the time to step back and take a moment to think about how you can better care for yourself.
Healthy Breasts for Life
Violet exists to support women. Our mission is healthy breasts for life. That means we want you to be free from breast pain so that you can move confidently and pain-free into your life every day. The first step in self care is to be AWARE of your body, to notice the signals, and know what they mean. The second step is to have the tools available to address those issues, like Violet Daily, an Iodine supplement that is built for women suffering with breast pain.
Self Care for Aching Breasts
There is relief for breast pain in Violet’s unique formula of Iodine and Selenium. It comes in the form of a small pill you take daily. Violet is designed for women suffering from fibrocystic breast condition and/or the symptoms of menstrual-related breast discomfort – such as aches, heaviness, tenderness and swelling.
As busy women, it’s important to proactively take care of our breasts! Violet’s daily iodine supplement has been proven in *studies to eliminate breast pain within 30 to 60 days. That too is no small thing! It means you are conquering the obstacles in your life to help you be the best you can be.
What is Self Care Anyway?
Does self care mean you have to become a high maintenance gal? Book spa treatments and massages, get your nails and toes done and have weekly facials? Well, that all sounds good, but there is more to self care. We strongly believe that self-care begins with body awareness as mentioned above, but also it’s about not being afraid to touch yourself and understand what’s going on in and on your body. That sounds simple, but, in our busy lives most of us do not take the time for a good old fashioned self-breast examination. Now is the time. If you need a reminder and something to help you track your self-examinations, visit the Keep-Your-Breast Check Yourself program and download their convenient app.
Body awareness is always going to be the first step towards self-care and that’s not just for your breasts but for your whole body! Learning to listen to cues and recognizing changes and signs of distress in your body can very well keep you from harms way.
Finding Space in Your Head
The next step from body awareness for self-care is to mind awareness. *Heart disease is the #1 killer of women, and stress is a major risk factor. Manage your stress levels and find healthy ways to lower it. It has never been more important in our history for women to find a place of peace and rest from daily stresses – what goes on in our minds will affect our bodies.
This month as we explore more ways for self-care, let’s start with a daily routine of becoming acutely aware of our minds, our bodies, and our spirits. Find that place (or those places) where you put away the devices and take a moment of self care to refresh your mind and to keenly sharpen your awareness of the very moment you are in. There’s nothing better for our bodies than that.
Celebrating Self Care – Health is Wealth
Have you ever heard the popular saying “health is wealth”? This gives immense meaning to our life, as health is considered the most valuable and precious thing you can possess. Good health means not only the absence of disease in the body but the complete physical, mental, social, as well as spiritual, well-being of an individual.
Without Good Health We Can’t Live The Life We Choose
Violet’s mission – “healthy breasts for life” – is a mantra for living a life of wealth. Violet created a unique and effective way to eliminate monthly breast pain so you can live your best life free from pain. Using the Violet daily pill will bring you relief within 30-60 days!*
Now is the Time to Improve Your Quality of Life By Embracing an Ongoing Routine of Self-Care
Busy women and busy moms usually run fast and hard, and sometimes, straight to the end of good health. It can be too late to correct it when an illness pops up or trouble punches you in the face. Though there is no certainty for perfect health, we can do our part to make sure that we are taking all the steps necessary for optimal living through conscious self-care. We can also improve our breast health with a deliberate and consistent self-care routine.
Vital Steps for Self-Care
The first and most important keys to self care are:
- Body awareness
- Be aware of your body signals
- Understand what brings distress to your body
- Mind awareness
- Know what makes you feel happy
If you are dealing with monthly breast pain, your first stop to self-care is Violet, a unique, patented breast health supplement formulated to give you relief from breast discomfort and tenderness. The daily Violet pill helps women get ahead of monthly pain for continued relief and improved breast health!
Body and Mind Awareness
Body awareness is how conscious and connected you are to your own body. It is also known as kinesthesia, or the awareness of the position and movement of body parts in relation to muscles and joints. It’s much like when you are in yoga class – feeling the muscles that contract and expand to support you.
Be Aware of Your Body Signals
Learning how you recognize where your body is in space will enable you to have the awareness and ability to interpret sensory information arising from joints, muscles, skin and inner parts of the body.
Understand What Brings Distress to Your Body
Your body reacts to stress by releasing hormones. These hormones make your brain more alert, causing your muscles to tense, and increasing your pulse. In the short term, these reactions are good because they can help you handle the situation causing stress. This is your body’s way of protecting itself. Learning to read these signs and being aware of the connection they have to your muscles and joints and other body parts is the essence of self-care and living a healthy, wealthy life!
Mind Awareness
Mind awareness starts with being aware of what is taking place in your own thoughts. There are many different teachings and schools of thought about awareness, but for this writing on self-care, a healthy place to start is simply becoming aware of your mental habits. Decide whether you “cling” to these thoughts or not, if they are good for you, or not, if they benefit your health, your sanity, and your peace. Then let go of the thoughts and mental habits that are NOT contributing to your healthy life.
Know What Makes You Feel Happy
Following body and mind awareness will help you identify and locate the things that bring you joy and make your body feel good. Taking some time away and being alone can do wonders for your mood and outlook, as well as help you find the meaning of true happiness. A favorite hobby, exercise, and self examination are also great to optimize your mind and your body for healthier, wealthier, happiness.
Being Pro-Active About Breast Health
Self-care requires being proactive not just about your happiness and how you spend your time, but also about what you do with your body. Exercise and eating right is top of the list. Taking the time for meal planning and 30 minute workouts, walks, dancing, yoga, biking, are key elements to add to your self-care routine.
Be Pro-Active with Consistent Self Breast Examinations
Make yourself a monthly reminder. Show yourself some love and give your breasts a routine “feel” with a self breast exam. Get tips and track the results monthly with a handy app like this one from Keep a Breast Foundation.
At Violet, our mission is simple: Healthy breasts for life. When you deal with monthly breast pain you’re definitely not thriving.
Self-Care On The Lymphatic System
The lymphatic system is a crucial part of your immune system. Through a network of hundreds of lymph nodes, it drains fluid called lymph to be transported back into your bloodstream. It also removes bodily waste and carries white blood cells that help prevent infection. Keep your body, and breasts healthy by reducing lymphatic blockages and allowing your body to work as intended.
These Things Matter
Lymphedema drainage, or lymphatic drainage massage, is not only an important part of caring for your breasts, but great for the entire lymphatic system. Not an actual self breast exam, but when you do a lymphatic massage it helps to get out the waste and improves the flow. And yes, this is something you can learn to do yourself. Why rely on someone else when no one knows your body better than you? Don’t be afraid to touch yourself!

Wise choices will benefit us for a lifetime. Good decisions can have a huge impact on our bodies, our breasts, our lives, our minds, and our families. From choosing the right clothes to the deodorant we wear, from the shoes we dance in to the bras we run in, all these choices can make us feel energetic and healthy, sexy and appealing… or not. Let your body move in a natural way and you will see the difference in how you feel.
Healthy Breasts = Wealth for Life
