For this week’s, 52 Weeks 7 Day Streaks challenge I chose Mel Robbins The High 5 Habit. Mel Robbins is one of the most booked public speakers who uses her self deprecating life experiences to help others take control of their lives.

Week 15 Challenge: Email Declutter
This week I challenged you to unsubscribe from 5 email sites that are no longer useful to you, each day. For some people (my husband) 5 seemed like a lot, but it’s amazing once you start how you can really get on a roll. I loved hearing from one follower that she then went aContinue reading “Week 15 Challenge: Email Declutter”
Week 14 Challenge – Grounding
Grounding is when you connect your body to the earth for a therapeutic response. You do this by standing/walking in the grass, sand, dirt or concrete for at least 15 minutes a day. We run through our lives at full speed which can be very stressful and by practicing grounding you reduce your stress levels,Continue reading “Week 14 Challenge – Grounding”
Week 13 Challenge: 20 Push-Ups
I love doing push-ups, once they are over! I’ve been doing 20 push-ups a day consistently for the last 15 years. As a runner I never focused on my upper body or my core (big mistake) and decided I finally needed to rethink my routine. Now I do upper body weights 3 days a weekContinue reading “Week 13 Challenge: 20 Push-Ups”
Week 12 Challenge – Lemon Water
Hydration to me is one of the most important elements of staying healthy. Week 1’s challenge was about hydration and upping your intake to 100 ounces. I personally drink 100 ounces of water every day. It’s something that should be built up over time so your body can adjust properly. This week we go backContinue reading “Week 12 Challenge – Lemon Water”
Week 11 – Leg’s Up the Wall
I’ve done this challenge probably for the last 20 years. Daily? No, but at least a few times a week. As a runner and constantly on the go my feet would be exhausted at the end of the day. When I started this I was training for a marathon and while taking a yoga recoveryContinue reading “Week 11 – Leg’s Up the Wall”
Week 10 Challenge: Healthy Fats
We always hear so much about protein and carbs but need to make sure we balance those out with healthy fats. Think avocado, nuts, oils such as EVOO and MCT, seeds, yogurt, cheese, dark chocolate and fatty fish. Adding a healthy fat at each meal helps the absorption of nutrients, produce important hormones plus theyContinue reading “Week 10 Challenge: Healthy Fats”
Internal Narrative
We are all usually our own worst enemy. If you ever stop and listen to yourself when you make a mistake, don’t feel good about yourself or reacted in a way that wasn’t good you know what I’m talking about. This challenge is set up to stop you when you have negative thoughts and correctContinue reading “Internal Narrative”
Week 8: Cold Water Therapy
Okay this should be a lot easier to practice when it’s so hot outside! I’ve gone to cryo therapy a bunch of times and found it beneficial especially after I tore my hamstring while out running. What I really like about this week’s challenge is the simplicity of incorporating this healthy habit by attaching itContinue reading “Week 8: Cold Water Therapy”
Week 7 Challenge…Daily 3 minutes of PLANK
Doing a plank is a super simple static hold exercise that is a really great for you abdomen and helps strengthen your core. A strong core helps with balance and powers up the body for all other movements. Remember to keep your elbows directly under your shoulders and that your forearms are facing forward. RelaxContinue reading “Week 7 Challenge…Daily 3 minutes of PLANK”
