It's fall! This means back to school for the kids, back to routine and back to YOU! Back to your workout! Remember, before the summer days hit, you had a great workout routine going? Well, it's that time again! There is no better month to recommit to your practice and your body. Here's a tip: one small, consistent habit will create huge change. A daily dose is the trick. I drink a protein smoothy daily and drink lots of water. I try to practice yoga as much as I can, but it's been quite difficult with a baby! My husband and I alternate going during the week (yes, I've gotten him addicted! But I'll explain that in another post!). Daily, consistent actions that are manageable really do add up :)
Here are some tips to keep you on track as you recommit to your practice this Yoga Month:
1. Shift your mood with a little yoga. Deep breathing can release happy hormones.
2. Acknowledge victories. Instead of reaching for a treat, write three things you did well each day.
3. Make a workout date. You'll have more energy when you exercise, so make it a priority.
4. Meditate. Fifteen minutes of quiet mindfulness in the morning will help reduce stress all day long.
I had a great Summer being a new mom and now it's time to ramp up and focus in on my health. So, class is now in session.
“Take care of your thoughts for they become your words. Take care of your words for they become your actions. Take care of your actions for they become your habits. Take care of your habits for they become your character. Take care of your character for it becomes your destiny. Take care of your destiny for it becomes your life. There is no higher religion than the truth.”
