Drink Up! (And We’re Not Talking Vino!)

 

Quick — when was your last drink? And we’re talking H2O, not V-I-N-O! 😉

Drinking water is one of the best ways to treat your body right. It’s easy to forget to do, and take for granted, but it’s a self-care staple with benefits galore: 

Staying hydrated helps keep you feeling happy, it keeps your muscles and joints functioning at top-notch and your digestive system running smoothly. It helps your immune system, boosts your metabolism, softens your skin and fuels your brain – talk about a miracle elixir.

If you think you may be in need of more H2O in your life (and chances you do are probably high!) give your body, mind, and spirit some love and … 

  1. Set your alarm to remind you to drink a glass at different times of the day.
  2. Drink a large glass of water right when you wake up. (That’s right, even before your fresh cup of coffee, because we often get dehydrated when we sleep!)
  3. Carry a water bottle with you at all times. This will keep you sipping on the go.
  4. Create a routine of enjoying a glass with lemon along with your afternoon snack.
  5. Start a new happy hour routine of drinking water before you pour your drink — and continue sipping on another glass while you enjoy your cocktail.

If your happy hour turns into “hours,” drink a glass of H2O in between each glass of vino. 

If simple flat water isn’t your favorite, swap it for sparkly water from time to time – or add fruit, like strawberry slices, cucumber or blackberries.

Drinking water often seems like an afterthought because it’s such a basic thing. But it’s one of the easiest ways to support our bodies, so be sure water stays on your radar. 

Be good to yourself today!

Make Time for Your Dreams

What’s one thing you could do that would make this year stand out from the rest and make you feel like you took a big leap in your life?

These days, many of us are so pressed for time that we give ourselves few moments to do what actually excites us. But even if your day feels impossibly stuffed, you can make time for what really matters.

Sounds nice, but how, you may be wondering? I’m so happy you asked!

You Are Enough, Right Now

You Are Enough, Right Now

Some days you may feel like you’re not good enough, or doing enough. You may wish you could snap your fingers and turn into a version of yourself you think you should be with a perfect job, spotless house, and exciting hobbies (or whatever your definition of an ideal life may be).  

But here’s something you need to know … You are wonderful, just as you are. You are enough, right now.

A Less Stress Summer

A Less Stress Summer

Summer is synonymous with relaxation, but sometimes we find ourselves stressed out and not living our best, “feet in the sand, good book in hand,” season.

Worries happen to all of us. But, one of the easiest ways to feel more carefree is to take a moment to declutter your brain. Because here’s the deal: Our brain can only handle so many thoughts at once. Anything extra bouncing around distracts you from enjoying otherwise happy moments.
