May 16, 2021 Mental Health Challenge: Gratitude + Meditation
Gratitude and meditation is a great practice of mindfulness.
I practice gratitude daily in a journal writing 5 things I am grateful for. Meditation is a bit harder for me so I also talk about a type of meditation called the body scan.
What are you grateful for today?!

May 13, 2021 Mental Health Challenge: Pilates
Lesson for the day: If you want people to listen to a podcast episode the audio is very helpful!

Pilates is a new found love of mine for now! My dad has told me to do Pilates since I was young! He said with my body type it would be a better workout for me, which I don't know what that means but my stubborn attitude that I get from him kept saying no. However, it's an amazing workout and he was right, Dang it!
Pilates is a very intentional workout that helps with posture and mindfulness!
Enjoy!

May 08, 2021 Mental Health Challenge: HIIT Workout
HIIT is High Intensity Interval Training it is a very specific and particular type of training that is repeated, extremely hard bouts of work interspersed with periods of recovery. During your work intervals, you’ll be challenging yourself nearly to your max!
HIIT is a convenient way to workout if you are short on time! Research finds that workout routines with bursts of intensity followed by short periods of rest have a positive effect on the brain’s neuroplasticity. Neuroplasticity is a phenomenon that refers to the brain’s ability to adapt to change by altering its functional and structural properties. When these changes occur, great things tend to happen, like learning and acquiring new skills. It also helps with learning, memory, and recovery from injuries, such as stroke,
