>Lately I’ve been beginning and ending my day in a positive day, both physically and mentally. ‘Physically’, meaning starting with a mega nutrient packed breakfast (and lots of hydration!), and ending with a balanced (yet satisfying) dinner and small dessert (that often does just as much for the soul as taste buds) – think hot tea, warmed almond milk with a little cinnamon and stevia, few squares of dark chocolate or glass of red wine.
On the ‘mental‘ side, I’ve been spending a few mins each morning thinking about what I want to get out of the day (beyond day-to-day tasks) and how I can do something to better someone else’s day, whether that ‘someone’ is the Earth or someone around me. At night, I been trying to rid the “what are the 10 ka–jillion things I need to accomplish tomorrow?” thoughts and focusing on what I’m thankful for.
Try it out. Spend a few mins reflecting on the day to come or day that’s passed and I promise you’ll feel a new sense of rejuvenation and appreciation for life.
Well kids, Spring Summer is in the air! I can almost taste skinny margaritas on the Georgetown waterfront. On yesterday’s 7-mile run, I couldn’t help being brought back to childhood among the smell of freshly cut grass (not that margaritas have anything to do with my childhood, haha). Every time I smell this I’m instantly brought back. Do any smells do this for you?
I’m starting to feel a sore throat coming on so the rest of the day’s meals were also nutrient dense (only lunch pictured).
