Yoga
Why? For body awareness, movement, & mindfulness! With movement our feel good hormones start flowing. Our bodies crave movement, we feel energized, more focused, ready to tackle our day after movement. The mindful piece of yoga comes into play to help us reduce our stress. The “C” word, cortisol, increases when we are stressed and intern messes with our sleep, digestion, focus, energy levels, and many other systems.
Nutrition
What we eat fuels us! Think about what you are fueling your tank with? See if you can remember how you felt after eating certain foods? Try sourcing local, seasonal, organic foods when possible (farmers markets are an awesome place to start for affordable healthy eats). If reaching for something processed, flip it over, and check out the label. If you cannot pronounce the ingredients reach for something else. Start tracking how you feel to test it out.
Healthy Lifestyle Habits
SELF-CARE? Yes please, more self-care. What brings you joy…sitting down for 5 minutes sipping on matcha latte, taking a relaxing bath, watching your kids play, a spa day, going for a hike, stepping outside for a quick walk? Pick 1 thing that brings you joy & add it to your to do list!
