Welcome to day 4!

We’re over halfway through our 7 day yoga reset together – woohoo! I for one, have been loving the quick workouts. We’ve been on vacation at the beach and these 7 minute yoga workouts have been easy to sneak in. Who doesn’t have 7 minutes?

When we’re back home I am meal prepping today’s featured healthy snack recipe. I hope you’ve been enjoying these yummy meal ideas along with mindfulness practices to implement. I truly believe we have to look at our whole being when thinking about health – not just one area. That’s why we focus on the movement, whole food nourishment and mindset work.

Mindfulness exercise

Stress in our lives can take a toll. For today’s mindfulness exercise I want to you find a place of calm, and take a moment of mindfulness. This can be for 1 minute, 5 minutes, or as long as you need.

I’ve used this in times when I normally would distract myself on my phone… at school pickup. Sometimes I’m 5-10 minutes early and I’ll use that to catch up on social media or reply to emails. However, when I take those 5-10 minutes to just sit and be quiet. To look around and just BE. Whoah, that is powerful.

Give it a try and let me know how it feels for you!

Here is your mindfulness exercise for today: take a moment of mindfulness
