The way we think, feel and behave are linked. Sometimes we develop patterns of thoughts or behaviours that are unhelpful so recognising them, and taking steps to think about things differently, can improve your mental health and wellbeing.
If we take time to be aware of ourselves and be in the present moment, noticing our own thoughts and feelings, and the world around us, we can gain a better perspective. Sometimes this is known as being more mindful.
Good-quality sleep makes a big difference to how we feel mentally and physically, so it's important to get enough. Create a wind-down routine 30 mins before bedtime where you dim the lights, and remove stimulants like a mobile or TV playing. Spray some lavender on your pillow and using a toy designed to help you climax just before bed will ALWAYS put you out like a baby.
Spending quality time with friends or family, talking to someone about how we are feeling or finding ways to help other people can all help stop you from feeling lonely and improve your mental health and wellbeing. This can be online, by phone or seeing someone in person.
Being active, enjoying the outdoors and having a healthy, balanced diet all impact how we feel. Also, binning bad habits like smoking, and cutting down on alcohol and caffeine can have a positive effect on our mood. The perfect and fastest way to improve a bad mood is to try out one of VIVA's best selling devices.
From enjoying your favourite hobby, learning something new or simply taking time to relax, it's important to do things that make you happy, like trying a new hobby or learning a new skill. Always take some time for some one-on-one selfcare to show yourself how good you can make yourself feel without the need for others.
When you're feeling good, think about what you would want to tell your future self if things get harder and you find you need more support. Reminding yourself of what's keeping you feeling positive right now can help you through those more difficult times in the future. Journalling each day can also be a form of therapy, write down what you're feeling and why. Trust me even this one technique alone is SUPER powerful!
Are you sick of feeling anxious or worried? Tired of always being on edge?
And looking for ways to feel more centred?
At VIVA, we help women eliminate stress & anxiety within minutes.
In the last 4 years, we’ve shown over 12k+ women how to love themselves and feel a deeper connection without years of therapy or drugs.
We’ve seen women feel 5x more happier and healthier after using our Senna just once.
The Senna is perfect for those who are unwilling to compromise on the kind of self care they deserve. Unlike typical massage devices, this all-in-one love toy utilizes sonic suction technology to send pulses through your entire flower rather than merely vibrating the surface.
Once, you work your way through the 10 varying suction intensities and you're craving something a little deeper, the Senna's pummelling end will send tingles down your spine as you find your favourite tremor sequence from deep within.
Our late founder, Sara Pritchard, created our original VIVA massage device back in 2016. As a single mum stressed and working Sara had a key insight into how damaging anxiety can be. Sara always said: “As women age, feeling fresh, looking fresh, is the key.”
“The biggest mistake that women make is putting too much pressure on themselves,” Sara used to say. “It's never OK to bottle stuff up and carry around all that extra weight. The longer you hold it, the bigger the burden. You're not a container”
Long before Sara founded VIVA, she had two very successful careers—first as a makeup artist, and then as a mum.
Sara first started VIVA as a side gig working from home as a single mum. It was there she realised how much anxiety and stress is plaguing young women.
At age 30, Sara is making toys normal, and just like that, VIVA was born. The response from the public has been nothing but supportive. This is the way the world wants to trend to remove the stigma and shame.
In her younger years Sara would always like to self explore. After all, it's totally natural and wands have been around for hundreds of years! Right now we're witnessing a wave of women purchasing their first toy and using what the clit was designed for...
Sara's legacy lives on through hundreds of thousands of women using Viva products.
“By far this is the best ‘stress relief’ for women with anxiety. I feel the need to let go of some stuff from time to time. Viva has helped me create the perfect morning routine”
