TAKING ACTION: ✅Did you know that eating in season is beneficial for your health? Do you try to eat seasonal foods or have you ever thought about it? Happy Monday, friends! Can you believe we’re already one week into April? Spring is officially here, and I don’t know about you, but I am excited for some warmer weather and vitamin D! ☀️ Speaking of Spring, I think it’s a good time to talk about a topic I’ve never covered before—seasonal nutrition or seasonal eating. 🍓 Did you know that eating in season is beneficial for your health? The average person doesn’t consider consuming foods that are in season, but the reality is that doing so aligns your body with what naturally occurs in nature. Not only that, but foods eaten in season just taste better, wouldn’t you agree? This week, we’re going to talk about some of the health benefits that come from eating in season—and of course, I’m going to give you the deets on which foods you should grab on your grocery runs this Spring! 🛒 It’s going to be a fun week here in our small group space, and I know you’re going to love learning about the benefits of eating in season! Be sure to show up tomorrow for a list of foods that are in season for Spring! 🫶

TAKING ACTION: ✅ Read today’s post and share how you personally navigate situations that are out of your control. Also, share your weekly win below! 🎉 It’s Friday, and we’re always up for a little fun around here on Fridays! For one, we always celebrate weekly wins, but generally speaking, our Friday posts are lighthearted and interactive. 🎉 With the weekend approaching (and our conversation about awareness this week), I want you to also consider the following question, and let’s chat about your answers in the comments below. ❓ How do you handle situations that are out of your control? Some examples include: 👉Going to a restaurant that doesn’t have many (or any) healthy options. 👉Going to a party or gathering where you’re not sure what will be served. 👉Getting stuck in a situation where you end up getting way too hungry. 👉Going on vacation and not having access to workout equipment and/or a gym. I’m sure we’ve all been in situations where we feel like we have no control. While these situations certainly arise now and then, I often find that we sometimes also use them as excuses and avoid trying to navigate them. We give up without giving our potential success a fair chance. We turn a blind eye to awareness because the lack of it feels easier. Friends, this will never get you to where you want to be. Awareness + Action = Results 💯

TAKING ACTION: ✅Comment FASTING below if you’re opting into today’s full-day fast! ✅Any last-minute questions? Share them below! Today’s the day, friends—it’s our monthly 24-hour fast! Trust me, it’s not as hard as it seems, and I’m going to give you all the tips and tricks to navigate it successfully! Keep your mind focused on the healing benefits of an extended fast—more fat burn, improved cognitive function, potential prevention against diabetes and obesity, and autophagy (a cellular process where cells break down and recycle their own damaged or unnecessary components to maintain energy and health). Check out the helpful tips below that will help you navigate today’s fast ⬇️ 🍽 Drink plenty of water and be prepared to drink more than you think you need. 💦 Electrolyte water (without added sugars) is always a wise choice because when we fast, our bodies quickly lose electrolytes/minerals. Electrolyte water will replenish those and help us push through with energy. The same part of our brain that signals when we are thirsty and when we are hungry, so if you feel hungry, drink more water. 🍽 As with our 16-hour fasts, be sure not to exceed 50 liquid calories; otherwise, you are at risk for breaking your fast. It’s also important to ensure your creamer doesn’t contain added sugar. You can also drink black coffee, unsweetened tea, hot tea, our Hydration, Creatine, Collagen, or BCAAs. ☕️ 🍽 Keep yourself busy today and remind yourself of why you’re doing this. Fasting is not happening TO us. It is happening FOR us. It’s important to give your digestive system a complete break now, and then so it can recover. Extended fasts also allow our bodies to repair our cells. Remember, extended fasts should be used for healing, not as punishment. 💯 🍽 Fast as long as you can, but always listen to your body. Anything over 12 hours is beneficial, and anything over 16 hours is awesome! Progress over perfection applies here, too. 🍽 Rest today or participate in a recovery day. It is important not to deplete your energy during your 24-hour fast.

TAKING ACTION: ✅ It’s time to share your weekly win/NSV, friends! I can’t wait to celebrate with you today! 🎉 “Treat every small victory like you just won the Super Bowl.” ~Lewis Howes Happy Friday, friends! We’ve had a big week, and you’ve had plenty of opportunities to snag a small win, wouldn’t you say? With a 24-Hour Fasting opportunity, surely you can find something to celebrate! Remember, it doesn’t have to be grandiose—but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t treat it like it is! As the quote above says, “Treat every small victory like you just won the Super Bowl.” 🎉 ⬇️The Power of Treating Small Wins As Though They’re Big Wins⬇️ Celebrating small wins as though they’re big ones rewires your brain to release more dopamine and build stronger positive associations with progress, making it easier to stay motivated over the long haul. It creates momentum by breaking overwhelming goals into manageable, rewarding steps, which prevents burnout and keeps you consistently moving forward instead of waiting for rare “huge” victories. Treating small achievements with genuine enthusiasm also trains you to notice and appreciate progress in everyday life, dramatically improving your overall happiness and resilience regardless of external results. 🎉 You see, it’s important. I didn’t say it…science did. 😉
