Flossing every day
Currently reading Atomic Habits with one of my clients, and I just read about habit stacking. I love this book because every time I read it, something different stands out to me.
Habit stacking means you add another small action to something you're already doing.

Self-care through the holidays
Take some time today to do something for yourself by yourself. Even just 5 minutes away on a short walk will help you feel better in your head and in your body.
A wonderful day to go for a run

The purpose of goals is to win the game, but the purpose of systems is...
I Love Running
Just finished an amazing running class. Just feeling on top of the world after that class.
Going for a walk to relieve stress
Going for a walk doesn't solve the problem but it removes us from the situation so we can calm down and think and react clearly.
I go for a walk after all my calls. It helps me do something for myself before continuing on with work stress.
Go for more 5-minute walks. They're...
A progress photo I don't hate
I'm not on social media anymore, so I no longer take fake photos of myself to share with the world.
And I'm no longer dieting and obsessing over my body, so I no longer take progress photos. (It's great not spending so much time picking yourself apart in the mirror!)
But today I have a special...
