Why making time for yourself is so important?

Taking time out for yourself to do the things that bring you to comfort is very important. It provides a release and enables us to destress from work and other challenges. It leads you towards a balanced lifestyle and the importance of this can’t be understated in the modern age. It doesn’t matter if it’s 20 minutes of exercise or half an hour in the barber’s chair, the result is a moment in time for self and improvements in mental and physical health.


Why making time for exercise is so important:

Exercise is one of those things that the body simply needs to remain healthy. It doesn’t need a  great amount however a little exercise a few days a week will help a man to remain mentally and physically in shape. When you exercise your body drives oxygen and nutrients into your tissues and this helps your cardiovascular system to operate efficiently. Your body also releases endorphins and other feel good hormones, these help to increase your mental alertness, libido and general well being. With increased regular exercise comes higher levels of testosterone and along with his comes a more positive energy for the modern man.


Why making time for the barbershop is so important:

A regular visit to the barbershop provides a man with more than just the opportunity to focus on his appearance. By remaining well groomed and keeping his hair and beard styled, a man can influence the way in which others perceive him. By making the time to visit the barbershop regularly and ensuring that he always looks his best, a man is taking greater control of his own destiny and influencing the assumptions that other will make of him. At the end of the day, a regular haircut makes a man feel good about himself and this leads to greater self-confidence, self-esteem and general well being.
