I’ve always been a bit manic about my teeth, and brushing them… It’s just my thing!

Toothpaste is a great analogy for the wellness in our Dishwashing life… Wellness requires an action, sometimes a conscious or unconscious thought… But there has to be a doing…

It is the same with our toothpaste… We all have a toothpaste, we all at some stage brush our teeth, how often we do it is a personal decision.

As a mum I taught my Cups how to brush their teeth and how long they may need to brush them, and I ensure they have the brush and toothpaste to carry out the action! (I still do).

We each have our own Wellness toothpaste… How we squeeze out our wellness is up to us personally, how often we reach for our wellness toothpaste in life is also personal, it can be a collective or personal wellness toothpaste experience around your dishwashing sink of life, or again an individual action in solitude.

I always ask my Cups, ‘have you brushed your teeth?’… (it was learned from my mum)…

Brushing my teeth is the first and last action of my day, and often inbetween. I don’t feel ‘ready’ for my day if I haven’t picked up the toothpaste and brushed… it is the same with my daily routine of wellness, walks/runs, creative writing, mindfulness, healthy diet… All have become integral to my daily living wellness. It can be a chore at times but I know the need to brush the wellness daily…

Whatever toothpaste of wellness you use, whatever brush you use… the collective act of ‘toothpaste brushing’ allows a wellness of our oral health… Let’s make sure we continue with our individual and collective wellness health…

Keep brushing your wellness, it allows for a ‘shinny, sparkly, strong’, SELF xox
