Breath in....breath out...repeat

Today's fitness tip doesn't really require any physical intense movement!! It's all about BREATHING! Read on...and if you have any questions, you can connect with me (and join my FREE ongoing accountability group) HERE.
Did you just crushed your workout!?? Catch your breath then try this lung workout!! OR maybe you are stuck in traffic OR you are sitting at your desk on a conference call. No matter where you are or what you just did...take 3-5 minutes and breathe. But not just any breath, do deep breathing -- where you fill your belly and expand your diaphragm downwards. This is one of the most powerful exercises that you can do to activate your lymph system which helps detoxify your body!!

Find yourself: Go RUN!

Running is my therapy!!🏃🏻‍♀️ It clears my mind! I literally come back a happier person!! Doesn't working out make you happier???  If not, I can help - message me today!
.
6 reasons why running keeps you healthy & happy!!
.
1️⃣ Running gives you "ME" time. It's where I do a lot of my thinking & planning. I literally voice memo myself notes during my run!! 
2️⃣Running helps you process pain. You get to understand how your body works and exactly how much it can take.
3️⃣ Running is a mood booster. You've heard the "runners high"? It's true!!
4️⃣ Running makes you eat healthier. I'm always more conscious about what I eat after my workout.
5️⃣ Running builds endurance for the body and brain. Endurance is an amazing thing, because once you realize you can endure pain and keep moving, you can do anything. The mental blocks are down and everything is open to you.
6️⃣ Running creates confidence. Sometimes I'm not in the mood to workout, but I know that 1 hour workout will give me confidence & improve my whole day.

I give up.

Health and fitness is not just physical. The mental aspect is just as important. Here is my challenge for YOU! 7 things to give up this week - one for each day. I give up.  Do you?  If you need help, message me for motivation and accountability!

1- doubting yourself
2- negative thinking
3- fear of failure
4- criticizing yourself
5- negative self talk
6- procrastination
7- fear of success

Get your beauty sleep?

Do you have trouble falling asleep?? Staying asleep? Here are some great tips to help you sleep better tonight!!!  As always, message me if you have questions or just want to say hi, #girlieboss

1. Drink tea 🍵 Herbal tea can help you relax before bedtime.

2. Read a book 📖 Meander your way through a favorite book to help power down from a hectic day.

3. Put away the iPad 📱 The blue light from the tech devices tricks your mind into thinking its day, so turn off all electronic devices 30 minutes before you need to go to sleep.

4. Stretch it out 🙋🏻 Stretching relieves aches, but it can also calm you and prep you for sleep.

5. Meditate 🙏🏻 Clearing your mind allows you to drift off to sleep.

6. Hide the light 💡 Electronics, alarm clocks, street lamps - all of these can prevent deep sleep. Cover up anything that's contributing to light pollution.

7. Take a warm shower 💦 A warm bath or shower can soothe muscles; It's also great if you're suffering from a cold or allergies.

8. Exercise 🏃🏼 Expend your energy for the day with exercise, and you'll be ready to drift off to sleep as soon as you hit the hay.

9. Eat an earlier dinner 🍴 Going to sleep with a full stomach can make lying down uncomfortable. Go with an earlier, lighter dinner.

10. De-Stress - Worrying keeps you up; learn to take time to de-stress - both during the day and before bed - to clear your mind.
