Mindset:
Instead of all or nothing, always something.
Nutrition:
Food is not just fuel; it’s also culture. How can you incorporate your culture’s food traditions (key ingredients, spices, flavor profiles, signature dishes) on your wellness journey?
App to try:
Noom! It is a psychology-based, nutrition/mindful eating program. I recently graduated from their program and found that it works! To take full advantage, go through all the articles that the app gives you, until you hit the daily limit (takes about 10min).
Key word:
Hardaholic: the idea that if something isn’t hard that you aren’t doing the right thing.

Movement Practice:
Shaking! It helps to release muscular tension and calms the nervous system. If you’ve never tried it before, start with 2 minutes and work your way up to 20. Plant your feet on the ground, hips-width distance, relax your shoulders, then bend and straighten (but not fully) your knees repeatedly.
Sensory Practice:
Upgrade your shower into a nourishing, embodied experience.
