Drink to your health!
Over the past few weeks, I've made an effort to take specific actions to nurture and take care of myself. Â This comes after learning a hard lesson. Â For months, I worked a ton of hours. I let the stress build up and stopped doing the things to ensure I was thriving. Â Then I remember that no one was going to take care of me if I didn't do it myself. Â So I put down a few laws.
I began with the requirement that I had to eat some fruit on a daily basis. Â That worked out well. Â From there I started go for three mile walks whenever possible. Â Things are not where they need to be but every bit of progress is making a difference. Â My newest ritual, as of late, is another small step but I can already foresee the benefits of enjoying this ritual on a regular basis.
The green smoothie is the backbone of this triad. Â With the green smoothie, I add in all of the nutrients missing from my every day diet. Â All sort of powders, greens, and super foods get to join in the fun. Â I've also noticed lately how the smoothies have made a difference in my overall eating choices. Â I don't look as haggard and worn as I should although I've missed a few hours of sleep here and there. Â Thank you, green smoothie, for everything you've given me.
There's something special about treating yourself to a delicious cup of tea.  Bamboo tea supports my hair and beauty journey so I'm back to drinking a cup a day.  The long days and crazy travel will undoubtedly contributes to greater levels of acidity in my body. In the past, I didn't really do anything to stop it.  Now, I'm incorporating the smoothies along with citrus water to help bring my internal environment back into balance.  Lemon water is cool but I decided to switch it up a bit by creating a mojito  inspired flavored water.  A bit of mint, some limes, fresh fruit and I'm good to go.  Feels like a spa inspired drink meant to enjoy in the comfort of my own home.
Not only do these drinks help refuel my body they also add a bit of happiness to my day. Â Doing something nice for yourself doesn't have cost a bunch of money or take a lot of time. Â Based on what I learned from The Power of Habit book, small habits like these will lead to new, greater habits.
It's the weekend. Time to treat yourself.

Great post. My routine is a green smoothie, 2cups of green tea and a detox drink made from the juice of a lemon, 2 tbsps of ACV and a tsp of honey.... energises me all day.
ReplyDeleteI have a green smoothie recipe that I plan to try tomorrow. I'm starting basic and will get fancy down the line.
