𝐘𝐞𝐬, 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐂𝐚𝐧 𝐒𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐛𝐞 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡𝐲 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐆𝐨…

We live in a day and age in which everyone is constantly rushing around, often in a frenzied state of mind, but that doesn’t mean you can’t still make quick, healthy food choices while on the go.

𝐌𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝟏: 𝐈 𝐝𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡𝐲 𝐟𝐨𝐨𝐝.

Reality: Practice prepping! Set aside time each week to prep healthy snacks that you can grab quickly as a start. Or plan out your meals and snacks for the week and do as much prep as possible in advance.

Make it fun! Pretend that you’re participating in a meal delivery service (or do start subscribing to a meal kit delivery service – most of the prep is already done for you), gather all of the ingredients you’ll need for each meal, prep what you can (chop up the veg, make a big batch of rice that you can just portion out and reheat for multiple meals, etc), and keep everything together in your fridge with labels.

Embrace leftovers! Start by picking one night a week when you’ll cook yourself a delicious, healthy dinner and make enough for lunch the next day as well. It takes barely any more effort to make double the food.

𝐌𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝟐: 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡𝐲 𝐟𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐨𝐨 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐯𝐞.

Reality: There are plenty of healthier alternatives that won’t break the bank. Instead of cracking open a bag of chips, try making your own homemade popcorn or having a handful of nuts instead.

Buy foods in bulk when you can and when it makes sense to do so. If you have the storage space and are actually going to use the items, it’s often much more economical to buy foods in bulk and portion it out when you get home.

𝐌𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝟑: 𝐈𝐭’𝐬 𝐭𝐨𝐨 𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐨 𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡𝐲 𝐟𝐨𝐨𝐝𝐬.

Reality: Try keeping healthy snacks close by, so when you’re hungry you automatically reach for them instead of unhealthier alternatives. Make your own trail mix with nuts, dried fruit, and semisweet chocolate chips. Prep and portion our sliced fruits and veggies to snack on throughout the week with a nut butter of choice, homemade yogurt dip, or hummus as a dip.

Breathwork (breathing exercises) can be an incredibly powerful way to reduce stress, boost one’s mood, decrease blood pressure, and improve focus, memory, and creativity.

Please be aware that while there are myriad benefits associated with breathwork, certain breathing exercises might not be safe for everyone. Therefore, please check with your healthcare provider if you are concerned at all prior to starting any new breathwork practices.

𝐀𝐥𝐥 𝐌𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐌𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 (𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐃𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐥𝐲)…

To state the (hopefully) obvious, if you’re moving in a way that could potentially lead to an injury it’s not necessarily good movement and you might want to reconsider. However, beyond that even the smallest of movements can be better for you than remaining completely sedentary.

𝐌𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝟏: 𝐈 𝐝𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐚𝐝𝐝 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐲 𝐝𝐚𝐲.

Reality: Even the little things add up!

Try doing an experiment and cook yourself dinner one evening and see how many steps you take just taking a few steps here and there around your kitchen to prep and cook. In addition to more steps, you’ll also be using your upper body a little more. And bonus, when you’re done, you’ll have a delicious, homecooked meal!

Or take a slightly longer way to get from point a to point b than you usually do. You’d be surprised that only adding a few more seconds to your travels can add quite a few more steps.

𝐌𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝟐: 𝐈 𝐝𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞.

Reality: While it can certainly be difficult to motivate oneself to get up and move around when fatigue starts to set in, movement and exercise can help to increase energy levels. It can also help improve sleep quality, which also leads to less feelings of fatigue overall.

And bonus, exercise can make you feel happier! It can improve your mood and decrease feelings of depression, anxiety, and stress.

𝐌𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝟑: 𝐔𝐧𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐢𝐭’𝐬 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐢𝐨 𝐨𝐫 𝐲𝐨𝐠𝐚, 𝐈’𝐦 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐠𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐲 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐛𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐭 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐢𝐭.

Reality: Non-exercise activity thermogenesis (NEAT) is a relatively new concept that pertains to the energy one expends doing everyday tasks, such as cooking, cleaning, grocery shopping, walking the dog, standing at a desk, and sleeping.

Consider ways that you incorporate NEAT into your own life, likely unknowingly (until now 😊). Is there anything that you’re already doing that you could expand upon a little to add more movement into your daily routine?

Perhaps try parking a little farther away from the grocery store each time so you must walk a little more each way.

Or maybe mix up the route you take when walking your dog (which will be both fun for your dog and you).

Try taking the stairs instead of the elevator. If the idea of ascending multiple flights seems daunting, just start with a single floor and work your way up to additional flights as you feel ready.

𝐑𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐞 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐇𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐃𝐫𝐚𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐋𝐢𝐟𝐞…

Many people believe that in order to reduce one’s overall stress in life they must make significant changes. The idea of making any sort of change, particularly significant ones, while in the midst of a stress storm can be extremely daunting and sometimes even paralyzing, which can sometimes prevent someone from making any changes at all, thereby perpetuating the stress cycle. However, making even the tiniest of changes can have an astonishingly significant impact.

𝐌𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝟏: 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐜𝐚𝐧’𝐭 𝐛𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐝.

Reality: Stress can absolutely be controlled but give yourself a little credit because it takes work and time. Making the smallest of changes can have an immediate positive impact. These changes can snowball into other changes that ultimately have a huge overall, lasting impact. Try not to be discouraged if you have setbacks every so often – this is a marathon, not a sprint.

𝐌𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝟐: 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐨𝐫 𝐛𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐞𝐱𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐢𝐬𝐞 𝐨𝐫 𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐩𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐬.

Reality: Just like everyone’s perception of stress is unique, so is the way in which to deal with it. Stress management is not a one-size-fits-all magic button. The most effective way in which to manage stress is to determine the root cause of why something is causing you stress to begin with.

Work on treating the cause, not the symptom. Next time you’re feeling an overwhelming sense of stress, try free writing for five minutes. Just write down anything and everything that pops into your head. Don’t think, just write. The more that you’re able to do this, the more you’ll start to notice patterns in your writing that may point to the root cause of the stress.

𝐌𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝟑: 𝐒𝐞𝐥𝐟-𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭.

Reality: Self-care is an incredible tool for mitigating symptoms (and just pampering yourself in general, since everyone deserves a little pampering and self-love on the regs). As a long-term stress management tool, while it can certainly be effective, focusing more on your own values and drivers in life may prove to be more effective in terms of addressing the root causes of your stress.

Try considering what ultimately drives you and fosters your own personal sense of values. What’s something that excites you and makes you feel satisfied in a way that gives your life meaning and you a sense of self-worth? Again, free writing make help you tease this out if you’re struggling with figuring it out initially.

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬 ‘𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬’ 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮?

What are ways that you destress? What’s worked well for you? Why do you think it worked?

Healthy doesn’t mean sacrificing flavor, texture, or overall satisfaction with one’s food. You can most certainly still have your cake and eat it, too.

𝐌𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝟏: 𝐈𝐧𝐝𝐮𝐥𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐨𝐝𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐦𝐞.

Reality: Most foods in moderation and as part of an overall healthy diet are fine to indulge in on occasion. You’ll likely want to steer a little further away from ultra-processed foods in which you can’t pronounce half the ingredients, but if you want to have a piece of cake, bowl of ice cream, or some butter poached lobster once in a while, chances are that it won’t completely disrupt your healthy lifestyle.

𝐌𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝟐: 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡𝐲 𝐟𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐢𝐬 𝐛𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐮𝐧𝐞𝐱𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 (𝐨𝐫 𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐢𝐬𝐧’𝐭 𝐝𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭).

Reality: Au contraire! One of my favorite indulgent foods is chocolate avocado mousse. It’s rich, light, airy, and so unbelievably decadent. I don’t make it often because a little goes a long way and it’s something that I truly look forward to when I decide to make it again.

I’m also a bit of a salad nut and go crazy for the toppings. I love to roast veggies to bring out their sweetness, toss in some nuts and seeds for a little crunchy goodness, and make all sorts of yummy homemade dressings to go along with them. Sometimes I skip the lettuce and just have the roasted veggies with toppings and dressing by themselves or as a rice or noodle bowl.

𝐌𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝟑: 𝐈 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐞𝐚𝐭 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐮𝐥𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐫 𝐝𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐚 𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐞, 𝐢𝐟 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫.

Reality: Cut yourself a little slack! Try practicing the 80/20 rule so you don’t feel like you’re depriving yourself of anything on a regular basis and in turn, will also be less likely to overindulge when you give yourself an occasional treat.

You might also find that if you’ve been filling your plate with lots of veg, some whole grains, and healthy protein that you’ll be so full that you won’t even want to indulge in something afterward very often because you’ll be satiated from your meal alone.

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐝𝐨 ‘𝐝𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭’ 𝐨𝐫 ‘𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐮𝐥𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐭’ 𝐟𝐨𝐨𝐝𝐬 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮?

What are your favorite luxurious, decadent, and indulgent foods? Would you consider them to be healthy? If not, are there ways that you can modify the recipes slightly to make them a little less unhealthy or just use them as your 20% and try to focus on 80% healthy foods the rest of the time?

𝐒𝐞𝐥𝐟-𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐚 𝐥𝐮𝐱𝐮𝐫𝐲 (𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐈 𝐜𝐚𝐧’𝐭 𝐚𝐟𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐝)…

Self-care is an investment in yourself. If you don’t love and take care of yourself, why would you expect anyone else to do so? Treat yourself! Trust me, you’re worth it. And if anyone tells you or makes you think that you’re not, then they’re not worth it.

𝐌𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝟏: 𝐒𝐞𝐥𝐟-𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐯𝐞.

Reality: At its core, self-care is really just taking care of yourself and recognizing that you deserve to be treated well – including by yourself. Self-care can be as simple as stepping outside to enjoy the sun for 15 minutes a day, taking half an hour to read a book, or carving out time to create a morning routine that starts your day off right (psst, all of which are free).

𝐌𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝟐: 𝐎𝐤𝐚𝐲 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐞, 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟-𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐛𝐞 𝐟𝐫𝐞𝐞, 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐈 𝐜𝐚𝐧’𝐭 𝐚𝐟𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞.

Reality: Even taking as little as five minutes a day to focus on yourself in a positive, empowering way can start to change your whole perspective. If you truly don’t feel that you have a moment to possibly spare, get creative with the time you’re already using.

Do you drink coffee or tea? Take a moment right before you take your first sip in the morning to take slowly inhale the aroma, then savor your very first sip.

Do you have pets or kids? Rather than making getting ready a chore, turn it into a fun game and channel your inner Mary Poppins. Bonus, not only will it be fun for you (and who doesn’t like to have a little fun), but it’ll be fun for them too. Hooray for bonding!

Try squeezing in a quick workout while you’re brushing your teeth. Try a wall sit, squats, or if you’re really adventurous (and don’t have a pointy toothbrush 😉), a standing balance. Bam, that’s four previously unclaimed minutes a day.

𝐌𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝟑: 𝐒𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧’𝐭 𝐞𝐧𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡.

Reality: The best way to effectively make a lasting change is to start with small changes and then continue to build on them as they become (positive) habits.

We all know that we should be eating healthy diets but doing so is often easier said than done. In an age when we’re constantly being bombarded with fad diets, it’s difficult to know where to even start.

Diets don’t tend to be foster lasting change, but one way to shift not only your diet but also your mindset is to crowd unhealthy foods out by choosing to slowly add in healthier options instead.

𝐌𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝟏: 𝐈 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐚𝐥𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐞𝐚𝐭 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡𝐲 𝐟𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞 ‘𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡𝐲.’

Reality: It’s okay to treat yourself once in a while! Try using the 80/20 rule to take some of the pressure off yourself – healthy eating 80% of the time and indulging/treating yourself 20% of the time. You’ll still reap the benefits of a healthy diet without feeling as though you’re being deprived of things you enjoy.

𝐌𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝟐: 𝐄𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡𝐲 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐨𝐨 𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐝𝐨 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐈’𝐦 𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐚𝐬 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡𝐲 𝐟𝐨𝐨𝐝𝐬.

Reality: Making small changes over time can have a huge impact! Slowly adding healthier options into your diet over time will begin to create a habit and begin to change your tastebuds.

Rather than having a sugary sweet dessert, trying having a piece of fruit instead or adding at least one vegetable to every meal.

𝐌𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝟑: 𝐄𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐨𝐨𝐝𝐬 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐦𝐲 𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐭 𝐢𝐬𝐧’𝐭 𝐬𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞.

Reality: The beauty of crowding out foods by gradually replacing them with healthier options is that it creates a sustainable lifestyle shift, rather than a temporary diet change. Eventually you’ll find that you’re adding more and more healthy foods in and craving unhealthy foods less.

Ultimately, a sense of joy must come from within. External factors can temporarily cause a sense of happiness, but joy comes from a more long-term, sustained overall sense of contentment.

𝐌𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝟏: 𝐇𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐰𝐚𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐣𝐨𝐲.

Reality: There are times throughout life when not feeling happy is totally appropriate (suffering a loss, etc) and that’s okay. One does not need to be happy all the time to have joy in their life.

Being aware or moments or joy or joyful memories in times of sadness without judgment can be extremely powerful. Defining your own happiness and giving yourself permission to embrace the hard times with the good, can lead to a greater overall satisfaction in life.

𝐌𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝟐: 𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐲 = 𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐇𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬

Reality: While this could certainly be true, to a certain point (think, covering base expenses and having a little financial cushion), there is a plateau in which generating a higher income will not directly contribute to one’s happiness level.

What do you think your happiness financial plateau would be?

𝐌𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝟑: 𝐇𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐚 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐝.

Reality: Happiness is a state of being. External factors might make you think you’re happy, but, it’s likely to only be for a fleeting moment. It’s not a fixed state and can be changed over time, for better or worse.

Everyone needs to take a break from technology occasionally. Remember the good ol’ days before email and cell phones when everyone wasn’t constantly tethered to a device and there was no such thing as social media? Guess what? We all survived.

Reality: Do you always get an immediate response from others when you send them a text or email? Chances are, probably not, unless it’s something urgent. Productivity can actually increase if you put your phone down and choose to only read and respond to emails at designated times throughout the day, rather than whenever they arrive.

Try checking and responding to emails only once or twice a day (perhaps around lunchtime and before you’re done for the day).

Was there any fallout from waiting a few hours to respond?

Did you find that it was easier to focus on the task at hand?

Do you feel slightly liberated because you gave yourself permission take a step back and not always be immediately and perpetually available?

Reality: You might, but it’s more likely that if you unplug, you’ll be more present in your own life and won’t feel like it’s passing you by.

Reality: Conflict, whether in a romantic, platonic, familial, or professional relationship when handled productively can lead to a better understanding of one another. Adversity is a good reminder that some discomforts in life are only temporary.

Having someone who can challenge you constructively helps foster personal growth and continually work towards becoming the very best versions of ourselves.

𝐌𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝟏: 𝐖𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐨𝐝𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐨𝐨 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐯𝐞.

Reality: While the price tag on fresh, organic produce can be a little daunting sometimes, there are ways to start incorporating it into your diet that won’t break the bank. If there is a CSA in your area, it can be a great way to not only purchase affordable produce, but also support local agriculture and business!

Plus, fresh produce contains a good amount of fiber, which helps you feel fuller without necessarily eating as much.

Reality: You don’t have to change your entire diet and lifestyle all at once to make an effective change! In fact, it’s often better to make small changes and building upon them gradually, rather than completely changing your entire diet all at once. Making a dramatic change is overwhelming (and can be a bit of a shock to your system), but small changes are attainable and sustainable for everyone.

Making small changes, such as having a handful of blueberries with your breakfast, grabbing some carrot sticks with lunch, or throwing some peas in with your pasta at dinner are great ways to being to build a new habit that are quick, easy, and inexpensive.

Everyone needs to start a new practice from somewhere and no one is an expert when they do! There are many misconceptions as to what it means and how to do it effectively, but the trick really is to just not overthink it.

Reality: Mindfulness is for everyone! In fact, how do you think people who are composed, tranquil, and always seem to be at peace were able to achieve that state of being (and stay there) in the first place?

Mindfulness is fantastic for those who are extremely busy and often feel as though they’re being pulled in a million different directions. It’s a fantastic way to bring you back into yourself, even if it’s just for 30 seconds at a time.

Reality: Even something as simple as bringing your awareness to the simple, quick acts of taking a deep breath or brushing your teeth and doing so with intention and care for yourself and your well-being is being mindful!

Reality: Mindfulness can be done anywhere, anytime.

Put it into practice with the 4-7-8 breath.

• Stop and take a deep breath.
• Inhale slowly for the count of four through your nose.
• Hold your breath for the count of seven, then slowly exhale through your mouth for the count of eight.
• Repeat this two more times.

While you’re doing so, notice your breath, the way your lungs expand in your chest and then deflate when you exhale, feel the air enter and exit your nostrils, and take a moment to check in with yourself afterwards.

Do you feel a little calmer and more centered? Do you find that you’re able to think just a little more clearly? If you’re not accustomed to doing this type of deep, controlled breathing you might feel a little lightheaded the first few times you do it.

Do you currently have a mindfulness practice? If so, has anything in particular worked for you, such as journaling or tracking your progress in some way, worked for you?
