A quick note about gratitude and appreciation…
 
Gratitude is like a muscle. When strong, it makes us resilient. When weak, we are easily broken. You strengthen gratitude through conscious practice. You lose it through unconscious laziness.” – Mark Mason

Feel Good This Holiday Season with These Simple Self-Care Hacks

Feel Good This Holiday Season with These Simple Self-Care Hacks

With the holidays approaching, it’s so important to keep in mind that we WANT TO FEEL GOOD during the holidays. And, in order to feel good, WE NEED TO TAKE CARE OF OURSELVES!!!
 
Here are my simple hacks to be sure I take care of myself during the holidays…. 
 
1. Use superfoods daily!
a. Sunshine Drops in 20oz of water each morning.
b. Cacao Magic and/or Butterfly Boost in my coffee each day.
c. 1 shot of Tough Mother Steept each day. (hello immunity upgrade!)
 
2. Move your body multiple times each day!
a. Walk 10-20 minutes after meals
b. Get your heart rate up for a minimum of 20 minutes daily.
c. Stand vs sit while working on the computer often.
d. Take the stairs, park further away, do walking meetings, etc.
 
3. Recognize your limits and honor your body!
a. Rest when you need to rest, even if it’s simply a 20-minute break to lay down.
b. Ask for what you need; we all need help sometimes – ASK!
c. Say no. When you need to say no, say it.
 
4. Have fun, don’t be so damn serious all the time!
a. Play games, let your hair down, laugh until you pee your pants (or almost!)
b. Say yes to trying new things.
c. Make space for spontaneous joy and be flexible with your plans
 
Here’s to feeling good this holiday season!
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate…”

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate…”

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.”
 
This is a quote by Marianne Williamson.
 
It’s one of my favorite quotes of all time. 
 
It’s what I say to myself every time I’m afraid. Every time I doubt myself. Every time I question my own abilities. Every time I want to speak up even though it would be easier to stay silent.
 
This is how I’m able to show myself the truth about who I am, especially when I forget my own inner strength. 
 
Everyone needs to be reminded of just how powerful they are. You are absolutely powerful beyond measure. 
 
And the moment you start really believing this (with your full heart and soul) will be the moment everything changes for you. 
 
The world needs you.
 
Get out there and try your best. 
 
Use your voice. 
 
Be a source of light, strength, and love. 
Being Selfish VS. Self-care

Being Selfish VS. Self-care

My friend, Jeremy Scott shared this on his podcast last week, and it really stuck with me:
 
“Being selfish means there’s a desire to take from others, often to their detriment. However, self-care is about replenishing your resources without depleting someone else’s. Self-care is a means of restoring your own energy, which promotes healthy physical and emotional well-being.” 
 
The question to myself and to you after reading this is: 
 
What am I choosing for self care currently? Is it sufficient, am I feeling replenished? Where am I saying YES, where I really need to say NO so that I can care for myself? Am I holding a limiting belief about being selfish?
 
I am excited to hear what you come up with this week. Hit reply and let me know! 

STOP TRYING TO DO IT ALL AND BE EVERYTHING TO EVERYONE!

Are you finally ready to let go of doing it all, feeling overwhelmed and not finding joy in your life? I remember the day I said “no more” and  I let it all go!  I’ve created this guide with 3 simple steps for you to get started and find more joy in your everyday life and way less stress!
