Happy Monday, friends! We’ve discussed the importance of routine, focusing on the basics, and effective goal setting this month. When you get these three things in order, your chances of reaching your goals skyrocket! 🚀 Not only that, but having these three things in order also helps mitigate stress in your life—less decision fatigue, simple fundamental strategies, and clear goals…you get the picture. Speaking of stress, this week we’re talking all things cortisol (aka, your stress hormone)! In our group, we’re going to learn why cortisol matters when it comes to your overall health. (Hint: Cortisol isn’t the enemy, but too much of a good thing can indeed be a bad thing…💯) Along with all of the education here in our small group this week—think meal plan, strategic workouts, and more education all centered around helping you balance stress and cortisol! Seriously, there’s no need to continue stressing over cortisol because we have a plan!

“Do your squats. Drink your water.” ~Unknown How important is it to hydrate properly? Well, let me put it this way ➡️ It’s important enough for us to have a special place for it in our app! 😉 I know, I know. Some of you aren’t fans of plain ol’ H2O, but I’m going to give you a little tough love today and say, “Drink your water anyway.” As with our other foundational basics we’ve discussed this week, before there was anything else, there was whole-food nutrition, movement, sleep, and only water to drink. Take a moment to think about that. I’m not telling you that you can’t ever enjoy another beverage, but the reality is that water is the only drink your body needs or requires–and its health benefits are too numerous to count! 💯 The great thing about drinking water is that there are many different ways to add a little flavor without compromising your goals. Fruit-infused water and electrolytes supplements are incredible options that not only add a little flavor but also offer health benefits! 💦 If you want to add trace minerals to your water, which I do once a day, you can order that here: https://aleiahkennedy.thegoodinside.com/shop/product/fulvic-minerals-plus TAKING ACTION: ✅ How much water do you drink every day?
