Whether you prefer "morning routine" or "spiritual gym," both have great benefits in setting the tone for the day and helping you reach your desires.

So what exactly is a "spiritual gym?"

Our inner critic is that negative voice inside our mind that places limitations on ourself and prevents us from living our best life. On the flip side, our inner critic is a self protective mechanism that works to help us survive.

But, our inner critic can shut us down and limit us. 

If we are the ones thinking these thoughts, then it IS within our power to change these thoughts. 

We can be the hero in our story, we can shift from victim to victor here and we don't have to rely on anyone outside of ourself to change our story. 

In this episode, Haley chats about 4 Simple Ways to Quiet the Inner Critic.

Mindful hiking can be accomplished in 7 simple steps, and is a great way to release anxiety and reconnect with your internal compass.

There was a time when I only hiked or ran local trails for fitness for my longer endurance adventures or races.

But now, I intentionally do easier, shorter, more mindful hikes each week. I do it because it calms my nervous system down. If I'm feeling tense, stressed, upset, or anxious, I head to parks close by and get my nature fix.
