Y’all know I’m all about self-care, but I’ll be honest — I fell off on my daily routine during our travel and jet lag wasn’t my friend coming or going.
I’m went in for a “reset” a few weeks back and then started testing a few items at home. Up first was this SONIC ERASER Pro. It is described as a tool that can help improve the absorption of your daily skin care products.
I’m just not feeling it today.
I haven’t been feeling it much this week.
In fact, I’m not feeling much of anything. Especially not nouns. You know– people, places and things.
I’m pretty much over them all.
But that’s where this book became an on time tool for me. In fact, there have been several occurrences this week that ultimately served as reminders that I needed to “Talk Myself Happy….”
Many people have asked me what I’ve done to lose the weight (and keep it off) this last go round. Â I don’t have one simple answer, but I do know what I was doing that probably contributed to my weight gain. Â
Working on a blog and “building a brand” can cause a person to become entirely TOO CONNECTED. I know we all set our own boundaries, but for me, it started to become too much. I needed time away from Facebook, Instagram, etc to just enjoy those that I can physically interact with. One-on-one meetings and outings are SO IMPORTANT to me. I miss being in a city with my closest friends and family, but I am enjoying making new acquaintances and I’m believing God for even greater connections in 2017!
Here’s a bit more about the book from the publisher. You can also find it on Amazon.
If you had time to slow down, youâd notice: Youâre more easily distracted lately. You forget the details of your life more often than you used to. You get easily agitated and have trouble resting, even though youâre more tired than you remember ever being. Even your spiritual life is not immune: You struggle to pray, to read the Scriptures, to be still and know that God is God.
Welcome to now. Our technology has greatly improved much of our lives, but in the process our brains are being rewired on a daily basis, and our capacity to be centered in our souls, in our lives, is at risk.
Brain scientists are aware of this unprecedented change, but the solutions arenât found in science: Theyâre found in the ancient practices of the faith. Tricia McCary Rhodes reintroduces us to the classic disciplines of Scripture reading, meditation, prayer, and contemplation, not just as technologies to aid our faith but as tools to keep us focused and mindful in an increasingly disorienting digital age.
âMy next birthday is quickly approaching. I’ve decided to start a two-month birthday countdown.
This also means it’s time for increased workouts and weight training! In fact, I’ve started off with this week with another series of morning detox tea.
I received these cups to review and I love that these #cutea cups are ready to go in my Keurig. I’m not really a big fan of most commercial “detoxes.” I side with the school of thought that our body is already equipped to naturally detox itself.
However, I do believe that we benefit from intentional, positive changes in our diets and those periods when we pay closer attention to the items we consume and how often we consume them. I also perfer drinking tea and I find this beverage beneficial for increasing my water intake.
âCUTEA’s unique formula is a 100% natural way to rid yourself of toxins, boost energy and burn tough body fat.
âThe specially blended detox brew can be enjoyed hot, first thing in the morning or sipped chilled as an after-workout, morning refresher.
âAdded bonus: Each cup in the 10 count box gets up to 3 uses per cup for a total 30 uses from the set!
âIngredients: Organic Green Tea, Organic Tulsi, Organic Spearmint, Organic Rose Hops, Organic Lemon Myrtle, Organic Linden Blossoms, & Organic Ginger Roots.
I’ve already come a long way and I’m so grateful for God’s faithfulness and strength.
It will involve a good bit of hard work, but I’m excited to see what God has in store for the journey ahead.
November will be here before we know it.
Let’s get fit together! đŞđđ
