This May I Will…
A welcome to May unlike any other. Snow greeted us just yesterday. It feels as if a never ending winter here. My heart aches for the sunshine, yet is brought to ease by more moisture soaking the earth before warm days and deep fears of forest fires arrive. As the winter lingers, and my twenties too, I am excited. My thirties are approaching in just a few short days. I am standing with my arms wide open, ready to welcome this new chapter of my life.
Benefits of a cold plunge tub
One day, I knew in my bones that I needed to start getting in the cold. It was January of 2022 and I was experiencing terrible period pain, chest pains, stress, anxiety, and chronic fatigue and knew my body was consumed by inflammation. I told Kyle, “we really need to get a cold plunge, I know it is going to help us.” Within two weeks we headed out and got ourselves a metal horse trough to use as a cold plunge.
This March I will…
Sunny, warm days are upon us here in the mountains. My heart is expanding and my body is relaxing from the warmth. February was a challenging month, it brought a lot of uncertainty, health challenges and many cold days. This March, I am focusing on giving myself more time.
Self Love Retreat
I believe every day should be a day of love. Our life is short and choosing to not fill every day with love seems odd to me. I want to share a self-love retreat with you, to help you start loving yourself today and every day. I suggest following this as an at home retreat, and if that's not available, break into smaller rituals that fit you and your time.
My Evening Routine
My evening routine has changed and evolved so much over the years. I am continuously trying new things and experimenting with what truly cultivates a great evening and night’s sleep for me. Yet these five practices always seem to be the ones I return to. These rituals are simple but they ground, nourish, and recharge me.
I spent a week mouth taping for sleep
We have billions of neurotransmitters in our bodies they control our brain function, heartbeat, how we learn, and our psyche (joy, anxiety, pleasure, and fear for example). Take away, breathing through your nose day or night is going to positively impact your overall wellbeing. So start mouth taping for sleep today!
