Nutritional Tips:
- Detox Tips. Detox does not have to be extreme. Here are some everyday ways you can nourish your body from the inside out and detox your body and mind. 1. Implement meditation even 10 minutes a day. 2. Start your day with lemon water. Detox the gut. 3. Dry brush before your shower detox your lymphatic system for good blood flow. Great for skin and to boost your immune system. 4. Start using a Facial Roller after your shower with some coconut oil for youthful skin and to ease stress that builds up in your temples. These little detox techniques will make a big difference in your overall health.
- Eat pure food to eliminate bloat. Foods with purely whole food ingredients. It’s true there is no quick fix, no one size fits all. If you want to try to help your body eliminate bloat try this. Three days total, aim to incorporate primarily foods that are sugar free, caffeine free, dairy free made with primarily vegetables, legumes, quinoa and limit animal products. This is a guideline for you to look at each category and to try shifting your focus to all the possibilities of new healthy foods that you want to feed your body to thrive. Learn what pure foods work best for YOU. The more you get in the habit of including pure foods into your diet the more you will notice a boost in your vitality. Bloat often means your gut is needing some extra love in the form of more pure foods. One sample meal would be: quinoa, 1/2 c. turkey, 1 zucchini chopped and sautéed with onion in coconut oil.
- What does balance look like for you. Be specific. What key actions can you do and take each day to grow into the person you want to be in one month or one year. Think of the time these tasks take to accomplish each day. Become dedicated to your self improvement. If you fall off the wagon get right back up and right back on. It is through that love and dedication you will hold yourself accountable to achieving your goals.

Meditation & Mindfulness
It’s ok to love.
3 Mindfulness tips:
Love is – a simple, nonjudgemental gesture that allows you to enjoy being in the moment with yourself and others. When you are loving, you are not worrying. When you are loving, you are not stressing. When you are loving, you are not fearing.
Holiday Happiness from the Inside Out: Take this time to stock up on all of the things that make you happy. The abundance of the holidays and all they have to offer. Let yourself be in the moment and be joyful. You’ve worked hard this year!
A Mindfulness Challenge when you are with loved ones this holiday season. Put your phone away. Make eye contact. Be emerged in the time with them. For those “staying at home”, do this on zoom or FaceTime! Be present.

Mindfulness For Stress Caused by the holidays:
Active Breathing
Breathe in deeply and imagine the energy building up in your body
Breathe out and imagine the energy leaving your body
Breathe in and imagine the energy coming back

With this technique you become the flow of energy.
You can release control and be in the flow.
How nice it is to be flowing the way life is meant to flow.
