Over the years I’ve listened and read about people’s love of journaling.  I’ve purchased the most beautiful journals and vowed to finally begin this new practice.  But for whatever reason, I just couldn’t get myself there.  It wasn’t that I needed more convincing…cuz I didn’t.  I had heard successful leaders talk about how journaling had helped with their anxiety or how it made them more creative and focused.  People told me it was one of their most loved practices.  The act of journaling connected them to their truest self.  It seemed that every person I looked up to professionally and spiritually journaled.  I knew there were many benefits to the practice.  I just couldn’t get myself to try it…even when I stared at my brand-new beautiful journal.  That is until I was introduced to morning pages.

At this point I think we can all agree that drinking water should be an essential part of your daily routine.  I don’t think anyone would argue with that.  And although I’ve known this for many years that doesn’t mean I’m good at consuming the amount of water I should daily.  In fact, there are days when I barely drink 50% of what is required for my body.  Note – the general rule of thumb is that you should be consuming half of your body weight in ounces of water daily (so if weight 150lbs, you should be drinking 75 ounces or just over 9 cups). I’ve tried all the little tricks to get to me drink more h2o…cute little apps, post it notes, phone alarms…nothing’s stuck.  Spending much more time at home during this whole quarantine thing though got me hooked on my newest obsession – Spa Water!  And let’s just say that this new obsession is not only tasty and good for you but has also majorly upped my water intake game!  Here are some of my favorite combos.

My morning routine has changed so much over the years.  For a long time, it used to consist of hitting snooze a million times until I was “running late”, jumping into the shower, putting on a 5-minute face and running out the door with just enough time to stop for a cup of caffeine before work.  It was a frazzled way to begin your day…and to be honest, the rest of the day didn’t look much different.  Fast forward and now I have fully embraced a slow morning.  I never hit snooze and often wake up on my own without the need for an alarm.  I take my time in the morning and I thoroughly enjoy it.  I’ve found my days feel better too.  But over the last several years, I have found two morning routines that are MUSTS each and every day.  I just don’t feel the same if I don’t do them.  The best part…they don’t take much time.  In fact, one only takes a few seconds and is life-changing.  So, without further ado…

Well who would have thought we would be facing a pandemic in 2020 that’s required us to quarantine and shut down the economy?!  Definitely not me.  With that said, this post isn’t really about Covid because honestly there are enough resources out there if you want to research all about the virus.  This post is about boosting and supporting your immune system…something we should be doing consistently but especially during the times of year where bacteria and viruses are spreading.  Here are the ways I’m supporting my immune system in hopes of preventing Covid and anything else that may be lurking in the air.
