We spend so much time thinking about what we don’t have… but real happiness comes from appreciating what’s already here. 💛

This Monday, try starting your week with a simple gratitude list. Grab a notebook, think of a few people who make your life brighter, and write their names down by hand. No rules, no pressure—just a quick moment to notice the good.

Make it a weekly routine, and watch how it shifts your whole outlook. ✨

Healthy Monday

✨ The holidays are here—hello joyful chaos! If your routine feels a little off, remember: eating well doesn’t mean missing out.

💚 Build a balanced plate: Fill half with fruits & veggies, add protein, fiber, and healthy fats, then enjoy your favorites guilt-free.

💧 Stay hydrated: Water, seltzer, herbal tea—whatever helps you keep sipping.

🍽️ Savor each bite: Slow down, enjoy the flavors, and let your body tell you when you’re satisfied.

🌱 Add something plant-based: Colorful dishes like roasted veggies, citrus salad, or lentil-stuffed squash bring a nutritious boost.

🔄 And if things go off track? Reset Monday and keep going. You’ve got this!

Healthy Monday
