In this episode I'm sharing 5 lifestyle habits that you can easily incorporate into your life. This goes beyond your plate. They are mini habits that can fit into even the busiest schedules.

5 Mini Lifestyle Habits

1. Ditch your phone at night and get an alarm clock: this is the one I recommend and have myself
2. Read something positive first thing in the morning like a devotional or self-improvement book
3. Engage all 5 senses throughout the day
4. Keep a running to-do list on your phone to ease mental load
5. Read a book instead of scrolling your phone

Quote of the episode:
"We can have the perfect diet and the worst lifestyle and it will still bring us down. Look at your life holistically. And hold yourself accountable to your habits. Are they building you up or bringing you down?"  -Lauren Venosta

In this episode, I'm coming to you solo to talk about a self-care habit you can incorporate into your busy life. It's simple and it's essential. I'm talking about meal prep. Not a week's worth of meal prep, or hours in the kitchen, but a simple way to begin fueling yourself first in your demanding life. PLUS a special invite to make this process easier.

JOIN FUEL YOURSELF FIRST:
fuelyourselffirst.substack.com

Key points in this episode:

• You deserve to put the basic need of nourishing yourself before anything else. 
• Think of eating full, complete meals everyday like the oxygen mask on a plane. Fueling yourself first is not only essential for your survival but everyone else’s around you. 
• You can not and will not feel your best without an abundance of healthy foods going into your body consistently. And you cannot function to the best of your ability without nourishing yourself well.
  
  

Quote of the episode:
"How you fuel is how you feel. And how you feel is how you show up. And how you show up impacts everyone around you and your relationships with them." -Lauren Venosta
