⚡️2021⚡️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Anyone else worried this year might not be much better than 2020?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I have big personal goals for this year and a global pandemic, the United States, or the weather will not slow me down. I have always loved new beginnings and starting fresh so this year I am taking control of the things that got a bit lost in 2020.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⓵First off...a fresh new routine. I'll admit...we got on the sauce hard in the last 10 months. Sure we probably drank less than some...but also more than is normal for us.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🍻So on Jan 1 we said "see ya" later to alcohol and are doing Dry January...but honestly we might go even longer. These first 12 days have been amazing mentally and physically so we'll just see what happens at the end of the month.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
② Exercise every day. For us this does not been hardcore all out full body burn everyday, it means either hit our home gym, the treadmill or get bundled up and get the entire family outside. The point is we need to move every day and will settle for nothing less than 10,000 steps a day. (want to be Fitbit friends???)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
③ Eat better. We are guilty of forgetting veggies some days and that HAS to change. We started ordering weekly deliveries from .go so we have zero excuses.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
④ I started a journal to track all the things I DID do (I did workout today) and all the things I did NOT do (I did NOT drink wine today). Having this nightly routine to write everything down reminds me to also think about how these things are making me feel. And I'll tell you, I am really feeling myself these days. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✌🏻What are you doing this year to feel your best?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I’m Amanda! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I started my journey in women's health as a Registered Nurse in postpartum and public health helping moms transition home with their new babies. I immediately saw a demand for helping moms find resources and confidence to take time and care of themselves before, during and after the transition to motherhood.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When I had my own children, that passion grew. I started helping woman online with home based workouts and most importantly, a community that woman could check into together.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
With tactical mindset, nutrition and workout tips, along with an incredible group of woman cheering each other on, I LOVED seeing these woman develop a whole new sense of confidence and belief in themselves and bring that fire of good energy into their daily lives. After 3 years of growing that community, I am now completing my NASM CPT along with my Womans Fitness Specialization and am so excited to expand my knowledge, abilities, and passion for this work.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Hand up if you are following hundreds (if not thousands) of accounts on your social media ✋🏻? Ok hand up now if all those accounts add value to your life ✋🏻? Do these accounts make you happy when you see their posts or do you cringe and keep swipping?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
📱We are all guilty of following too many accounts. For holding onto people and accounts that once brought value but no longer do. Or even the dreaded; it's just cool to follow them feeling.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Today you task is spend 30 mins going through who you are following on social and delete any and all accounts that fit this criteria:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
+ You have no memory of following them⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
+ You can not relate to their posts and/or stories⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
+ You cringe when you see their stuff pop up⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
+ They make you feel bad about yourself, your family, home etc.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Now refresh your app; go back in and check out who's stories and posts you see now. Are you seeing accounts you forgot about? Accounts that you love but were no longer seeing? How does that make you feel? When I did this a couple months ago I starting seeing people and accounts I forgot about, accounts that make me so happy, laugh and generally feel good. It was game changing for my mental health. I now make a point to really think before I hit follow AND to not feel bad if I am quick to hit unfollow. The thing is, those accounts will always be there, and if you feel like checking in with them you can, on your own terms.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Well; today seems as good of day as any to learn how to stretch out some tension. With the new restrictions and holidays approaching everyone is a little on edge these days. And that is 100% understandable! Life is weird right now, but lets do our best to not let it effect our health...too much.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Most people carry their stress in muscles, causing them to be tight and have a lot of tension. The more we stretch the less tense our muscles become AND stretching is an excellent form of stress management.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Learn to release some tension and you will start to notice your entire day improving. And then suddenly you might not feel like there isn't enough hours in the day.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨As many times a day as necessary: stop what you are doing, take a deep breath, pull your shoulders away from your ears, take a few deep breaths with your eyes closed and focus on your breathing.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🔀Where do you carry the most tension? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
↘Tell us how it felt to stop and take a few mindful breaths today!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I’m sure you’ve heard by now the many benefits of meditation. Here are two benefits that we love and find so interesting!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

✺Meditation has been linked to 𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝗺𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘆 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 in the hippocampus and frontal areas of the brain. More gray matter can lead to more 𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬, 𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫-𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐜𝐮𝐬 during daily life.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
