Let’s Beat Stress!
Honestly, stress is a part of our every day lives.
especially now with the Holiday’s coming up
& a wedding on December 23rd in our family!
no, not me, my brother!

Sometimes, it can be good stress just from having a lot of things going on.
I always say that I’m stressed – in a good way!
Meaning, I have  A LOT on my TO DO list that needs checked off!
usually positive things, but still can be stressful.

My day starts early with a usual 5am alarm
(the strum, for those that have an iphone)
Every time I hear someone else’s phone go off with that ring tone,
I instantly get stressed because I’m so used to it being my alarm!

Anyway, 5am is my wake up call to go drink my Apple Pie Cleanser &
head down to our home and do 15-20 minutes of cardio.

Then I get ready & start making breakfast/packing lunch for my day from 6-630am.
Relax & Eat a powermeal from 630-7am.
Get all of my things together & out the door by 7:05 to start school at 7:30!

Then my day is filled with 9 periods of teaching, prepping, typing, e-mailing, students,
& writing/crossing off my TO DO list.

With a lunch break in between there.

Once I’m home, I usually lift & then it’s time for dinner to refuel.

powerbowl of spinach, peas, carrots, olives, sprouts,
organic tomato sauce, & kale hemp pesto.

Once the time comes (around 430pm) where I am “done” for the day –
I ALWAYS try and lay down for about 20minutes to “de-stress”

Even if I don’t fall asleep (which I usually do because I am the QUEEN of POWERNAPS!)

I at least try and put my phone away, turn off the lights, & just relax for that amount of time.

I find that my brain and body NEEDS this to unwind from the fun, but busy day!

Then I usually spend the night prepping for the next day & doing blog work!
because I’m still in the process of starting my business.

Talk about a long day…BUT I’m not complaining because it’s things I LOVE to do!

Although, I believe everyone needs time to #BEATSTRESS
& we all have great ways to do this!

Whether it’s working out with mamacakes to relieve stress,

playing a sport you love,

cooking a new recipe,

or taking a walk outside & enjoying the seasons – we can all #BeatStress!
