Weekend hikes for mental health

weekend Nov 04, 2023

When we first left Chicago in October 2022, we first headed out to Lake Havasu for a month.


We did so much hiking that month.

 

It was literally a 6-minute drive from where we were staying.

 

 

We went hiking every weekend. I went a few times by myself. It was exactly what we...

Evening walks on the beach

consistency evening habits Nov 03, 2023

This week, we also started adding in evening walks on the beach.

I know, I know. Whose life is this?!

Several months ago, I added in an evening walk if I didn't hit my step goal of 8000. Sometimes the walk was 5 minutes and sometimes 30. But oftentimes, I struggled to make it happen.

So what's...

Evening workouts for stress relief

evening stress Nov 02, 2023

I struggle to get to the gym in the evening because there's no constant trigger like in the morning.

 

In the morning, the trigger is waking up and the action is working out.

 

In the evening, my work day ends at different times and in different ways... it's not always the same.

Creating a life you actually enjoy

I've been reflecting on the last 12 months. We left Chicago a year ago, and so much has changed.

 

I'm so grateful to be living in a place I enjoy. Where I can walk outside and feel safe and actually want to be outisde.

I'm so grateful to be so close to the ocean. We gave up having a large...

Getting back on track - recommitting to your system

getting back on track Oct 30, 2023

I wrote some blogs over the past few days about falling off track last week and then getting back on track over the weekend.


Today was a Monday and a chance to start the week out the right way.

 

It felt great to wakeup and workout again.

It felt great to drink a green smoothie in the...

Getting back on track - setting your week up for success

getting back on track Oct 29, 2023

Over the last few days, I've been writing about how my week was rough because of poor sleep ruining my mornings, falling off track, and then recommitting to taking a small action to get back on track. 

 

As I look back on the last week, I know another reason things fell apart...

Getting back on track- take a small action!

getting back on track Oct 28, 2023

Ah! After a shitty week, I got finally got some decent sleep and had a great run.

I think sometimes we wait for a Monday or the 1st of the month or 1st of the year to turn things around.

But the truth is you can turn things around at any time.

By taking action.

It doesn't have to be a Whole30 or...

Getting back on track after a rough week

I've had a rough week with sleep which impacted the rest of my day. I found myself falling into some not-so-helpful thoughts about myself.

 

And then I remembered a tool that has helped me and I teach my clients: The 3Rs.

 

 

R1 - Remind yourself you're an imperfect human...

Knee pain relief?

Uncategorized Oct 25, 2023

I just started a new medication for my knee pain, and I have some temporary relief...

 

I am super hopeful this will continue. It's always nerve-racking to think something might get better because I've been disappointed so many times!


We shall see...
