Setting Goals and Achieving Them

Read Now

When we are doing a reset or simply striving for something new; be kind and patient with yourself.

There are a lot of obstacles to trip you up, but don't worry, we've go our back. In an effort to help you stay balanced in the new year, we have a couple of scientifically proven tips to help keep your resolutions on track:

Write it down daily. Increase the likelihood of achieving your goal by writing it down 15 times at the beginning of each day. Scientists found that doing so increases the achievement potential by 78%!
Schedule it. We know that anything worth doing requires scheduling time into our busy day. Research shows that when you have an appointment to keep with another person, your likelihood of following through increases by 98%!
Tell a friend. Accountability is key! Don't just tell a friend about your goals; schedule a daily check-in to allow your friend to cheer you on and champion you through your transition. This person should be a friend that you trust, even when you are at your most vulnerable state. Having a trusting and attentive Accountability Partner can help improve your chances of success by 67%!
Give yourself the grace to know you will not be perfect. This is a tip from me, Lilly Cook. Go into this year with the goal to be better today than you were before. Know that achieving this is more than enough. We wish you a Happy New Year and a happy trail, my beautiful friend.
Celebrate your WIN. Always set a reward for your self to hit milestones. This why we have the Last Weekend of The Month at Oasis. This is our monthly reward for service clients well.

So, Exactly How Does pH Help Us?

Our bodies are just one big Goldilocks zone. In order to live our wonderful machine is required to make thousands of calibrations each day to keep us alive and thriving. Even our skin has a daily fight of keeping us from being too far on either the acidic side or the alkaline side. This is known as the pH balance. In chemistry, pH is a scale used to specify the acidity or basicity of an aqueous solution. Since our skin is made up of at least 60% water, this qualifies as an aqueous solution. Our bodies and skin are super sensitive to pH levels and have quite complex mechanisms in place to maintain an acidic pH for the skin while keeping an alkaline pH for the body.

This balance is part of what is called homeostasis. Your body naturally makes this happen as long as there are no underlying conditions stopping it and you provide it with all of the tools it requires to get the job done. Our very survival depends on proper maintenance of homeostasis so it just makes a lot of sense to ensure that your body has all of the resources it needs to do its job properly. If you fail to do this consistently enough you begin to seriously impair organ systems, enzyme activity, kidney function, digestion, hormonal balance, immune system function, and skin barrier and hydration.

Creating Good pH Balance

So just to be clear, water naturally has a pH of 7.0. If we find water with a pH of 5.5 we would call this acidic water. If we found it with pH of 8.5 we would say this has alkalinity.
