- Hi.
This is your brain on exercise:
Any questions?
As we head into Week 2, here are your practical tips:
- Read WEEK 2 of the Meal Plan and choose your meals. This week we focus on increasing the HEALERS. What are the healers? More plants, more antioxidants, more parsley and ginger and lemons. More water.
- Restorative sleep really comes down to your routine, and your stress levels. I can't emphasize this enough. When you are stressed and anxious, cortisol spikes. This affects your sleep. I know you don't have a TON of control over external stressors. However, meditation and breathing help.
- Increase your exercise quotient by adding something else.
- Please spend an hour with a quick meal prep: Make a soup, cook up some quinoa or brown rice, marinate some tofu on salmon, chop veggies. This is not a hand-holding program: it is a loving, supportive program
- For your connection goal: Spread kindness. Buy someone a coffee or tea. Say hi to someone in the grocery store.
- Are you keeping your gratitude practice?
