7 Self-Care Activities to Do at Home

by

There’s nothing I love more than being in the comfort of my own home. I’m such a homebody, always have been and probably always will be. For me I feel the most comfortable and happiest within the four walls of my own home. However, most people may not feel this way.

There has been a lot going on in the world lately. The latest has been the spread of a virus that has made it so that everyone is required, and highly encouraged, to remain in their homes.

When the news of this got out, I wasn’t worried or bothered in the tiniest bit. I love being home and all activities that I do are usually done at home. But then came the news of limiting time spent out in public places and immediately I started to see a dramatic shift in everyone’s behavior.

Food was becoming scare in stores, restaurants were closing their lobbies to the public, schools were closing, and even the regular hours of most public places were being changed.

That’s when it finally hit me. We were all being asked to remain indoors until further notice.

Then I started to see all the posts on social media about how bored people were, how they didn’t know what to do with themselves, and even how they were upset that the gym was closed and they couldn’t even get their normal workout in for the day.

I knew that being indoors until further notice wasn’t going to stop me from living my healthiest life, and I don’t want you to let it stop you either.

If you are bored, have nothing to do in your home, or may find it hard to just simply entertain yourself and your family, no worries.

Staying at home doesn’t have to be boring, trust me I know I do it all the time. There are literally tons of things that you can do during this quarantine time period to entertain yourself and stay on top of all your health and wellness goals.

This includes things such as taking that time that you never seemed to have to engage in some much-needed self-care.

I’ve got 7 self-care activities that can help you do just that! [Read more…]

5 Easy Water Recipes for Better Health

by

Water is so good for our health. I know that it’s not always the most appetizing or exciting thing to drink, but guys we really need it. Tons of it on a daily basis. This means a lot more than just one or two glasses for the whole day.

Why should be drinking tons of water on a daily basis? Here’s a few health benefits that you absolutely want in your life, that can easily be achieved by drinking more water.

Drinking plenty of water helps to maintain the balance of your bodily fluids such as the digestive system, absorption, creating saliva, circulating nutrients, and it even helps with regulating our body temperature.

Plus, did you know that 60% of our body is made up of water? In order to keep it thriving and jiving we’ve got to give it what it needs most, and that’s water!

Not to mention that every time we sweat, breathe, or digest something our body loses water. In order for us to avoid becoming dehydrated we have to constantly be hydrating our bodies with water so that it can function the way it needs to function in order for us to be able to perform at our best all the time.

In today’s post I’m going to share with you some of my favorite ways to drink water. These recipes have not only helped me increase my daily water intake, but they have also had an amazing impact on my health.

But first I’m going to admit something to you. If you’ve been following my blog for a while now then this may not come as a surprise to you, but if you’re new well I’m about to drop a major truth bomb on you.

I love water, I really do, but it wasn’t always this way.

For years my go-to beverage was either Kool-Aid, pop or soda, juice, even flavored water. Literally anything sugary and sweet that just wasn’t plain old water. Once I entered into adulthood my health was paying the consequences of these poor choices majorly. [Read more…]

6 Ways to Engage in Personal Development

by

The best investment you can ever make in life is any investment that will help you grow.

I truly do believe this. We spend so much time and money in our youth creating great memories, going on amazing adventures, creating a healthy social life, and so much more. But we don’t put a lot of that time and money into growing ourselves into the ideal person we’d like to be when we grow up.

I’m talking about investing in personal development activities. I know this because this was me in my teenage years, and for about 5 years of my legal adult life.

I had no idea what it meant, let alone looked like, to really invest in yourself in ways that only you could. Think about this like self-care. Self-care is important and necessary because it helps us create balance, learn how to remain in that balance, it allows us to rejuvenate ourselves when needed, and most importantly it’s a sure sign of self-love.

Personal development is very much the same thing.

When we take the time to work on ourselves and improve parts of us that may be broken or not as strong as other areas, it’s a sure sign of self-care. It’s an act of self-kindness that no one can ever take away from you, and it solidifies the way you see yourself as an individual when in the presence of others.

So how do you participate in personal development? What activities are out there to help you get started now? Honestly there are a ton, literally like thousands of activities waiting for you to give them a try.

But what if I told you that there were also just as many ways to engage in personal development without necessarily breaking the bank or taking up a ton of your time?

Well buckle up because I’m going to take you on an eye-opening ride! In today’s post I’m going to share with you 6 ways to engage in personal development that you can literally start doing today. [Read more…]

5 Reasons Why You Should Be Meditating Daily

by

I want to talk about something old, but also something new that I’ve been incorporating into my wellness routine. Meditation.

I love meditation, but it wasn’t always this way.

I use to think that meditation was something people only did when they had their shit together, because that meant it was easy to do. Little did I know that the overall purpose of meditation is to connect the mind and body to one another so that you can learn to live a more purposeful life.

Sounds insane I know, and it turns out that there are so many health benefits that can result from practicing meditation. Meditation can help with stress and anxiety, lower depression levels, it can improve your physical health, increase your awareness, and even improve your quality of life.

Meditation isn’t only for people who have their shit together, and it’s not an easy practice what so ever. Meditation is for anybody looking to create a healthier relationship with themselves, while also increasing their quality of life. What I love most about meditation is that there really isn’t a right or wrong way to practice it.

Meditation is a very personal experience. It’s an experience that enriches your life based on what you choose to bring to the experience.

It’s a sacred space that you learn to create for yourself, where you let go of any worries or anxiety you may have, and collect positive vibes, and positive affirmations all for the purpose of increasing your happiness.

Meditation encourages you to be present on a moment to moment basis in a non-judgmental way.

It took me a really long time to really understand the relationship that I have with meditation. This was because for years I always had a vision in my head of what meditation was supposed to look like, instead of discovering what meditation could potentially be for me personally.

Since practicing meditation more often I’ve learned that meditation holds a different meaning, and takes up a different amount of space for everybody. What may be valid and helpful reasons for me about practicing meditation may not be the same truth for someone else.

Much like everything new we encounter in our lives we have to determine for ourselves the purpose meditation will have in our life. I started my meditation journey a couple of months ago and so far, I have discovered so much about myself.

I’ve grown so much because of meditation.

Today I want to share a little bit of my personal experience so far with meditating, as well as 5 reasons why you should be meditating daily. [Read more…]

Practicing Yoga for Your Health and Wellness

by

I love yoga! It wasn’t always this way if I’m being honest. For a very long time, yoga was something that I just couldn’t get into.

It wasn’t because I thought it was hard, or I that I wasn’t capable of doing it, or anything along those lines. I just couldn’t’ get into it because doing yoga requires you to engage all of your muscles, and I always felt extremely tired afterwards.

Yoga is meant to make you feel relaxed and energized, not exhausted. But for me I was always exhausted after a yoga session, so I just sort of distanced myself from practicing yoga for a while.

Flash forward about 5 years and here I am, a lover of yoga!

As you can see this love and appreciation for yoga did not happen overnight. It took time, practice, patience, and above all really learning the relationship my mind and body had with practicing yoga.

There are so many reasons why yoga is good for our health. Yoga helps to improve muscle strength, blood circulation, it can help to regulate your blood pressure, support your joints, improve your posture, and so much more. These are all functions of our body that need to be in tip top shape if we want to be at our best, and live our healthiest lives.

While yoga is not the only way to achieve these health benefits, it’s a great option for people who don’t live an active lifestyle. This is a great way to naturally improve your health, transform your body, and expand your wellness practices without making a commitment of any kind. [Read more…]
