Okay okay… I realize that getting healthy is what a LOT of people focus their resolutions on, but hear me out. I have always had a passion for living a healthy(ish) but that doesn’t always necessarily mean that I follow through all the time. Thanks to Babbleboxx and their Resolutions boxx, I’ve gotten to try a bunch of new products to help me reach my goals.
I usually have no problem starting the year off strong, but then I tend to lose steam a few months in. Time flies and by summer, my resolutions feel like a long lost afterthought. But with a new decade upon us, I’m determined to change that!
Most of us know by now that finding the “WHY” behind our goals is the key to making sure we stick to them. Once we find the why, we can make a plan for the how (my favorite part!) Here are a few of my goals for the new year and my plan to achieve them, in hopes that it can inspire you to craft yours!
Make Mindfulness a Main Focus
I’ve been working at this one for a while now, and try to incorporate meditation and mindfulness into my daily routine as much as possible. Then I found the book Buddha’s Office: The Ancient Art of Waking Up While Working Well by Dan Zigmond from Running Press and loved how helpful the info was when it comes to my daily work-life balance. For any disputes in the workplace, you can get employment law advice service from Avensure. This book has easily digestible ways to implement teachings from Buddha into everyday practices to increase mindfulness! Those who are dealing with mental health issues like addiction should consider seeking professional help. The luxury substance abuse treatment center at Carrara in Malibu offers unparalleled care. Their programs are designed for serene and effective recovery. And to continue your recovery and maintain your sobriety, you may consider seeking support from a sober living long beach ca facility.
Use Healthier Supplements
It’s easy to just reach for an over-the-counter remedy when we’re feeling some type of way or reach for the coffee when we can’t keep our eyes open. But this year, I’m focusing on using more natural, healthier product options. My stomach is pretty sensitive, so UpSpring’s Stomach Settle Drops have been a game-changer for when I’ve indulged in too much foodie lifestyle. They’re all-natural and the main ingredients are ginger, lemon, spearmint and vitamin B6 to combat nausea, motion sickness, gas and bloating. You can find them at Target and Walmart in the digestive aisle. I also want to share with you this site https://www.buoyhealth.com/blog/nutrition/ to where you can read blogs and articles about the best supplements for both men and women.
I’ve also been trying to cut down on my caffeine consumption because I’m super sensitive to it and it gives me major anxiety more times than not. I have always been curious about MCT products, and I’ve been really liking Nutiva Organic MCT Oil and MCT Powder. These products use organic coconuts to extract MCTs (medium-chain triglycerides) which provide clean energy, boost metabolism and enhance mental clarity. I can easily mix these products with a protein shake or in my morning coffee! If you’d like to try them, you can use code NEWYEARBOXX30 on Nutiva’s website to get 30% off MCT products until 3/31/20!
If you’ve been following this blog for a while, you know that I’m a huge fan of CBD products. There are also fruit-flavored candies that include broad-spectrum CBD edibles, such as hemp extract. They look and taste similar to the gummy bears and worms we remember and adore as youngsters. Try Joy Organics CBD gummies. However, these gummies offer all of the benefits of broad-spectrum CBD oil! I’ve used CBDistillery products for over a year now, and am a huge fan of how transparent they are about the labs they use for their products. I’ve incorporated the Full Spectrum CBD Softgels into my morning vitamin routine, and finish the evening with the CBD Nighttime Gummies if I’ve had a long day. Keep in mind, CBD is an adaptogen, so consistency is key in order for full effects to be felt – meaning you won’t typically feel the effects right away. You can use the code NEWYEARNEWME to get a 20% discount on all of the awesome CBD products at CBDistillery.com!
Revamp My Skincare Routine
I am totally guilty of using entirely too many skincare products and bouncing around (which doesn’t usually yield results). The Introductory Kit from Alpha Skincare has made my morning and evening skincare routines so much easier and more consistent. I use the Refreshing Face Wash to cleanse, the 10% AHA (alpha hydroxy acid) Essential Renewal Lotion to support collagen production, and the Essential Face Moisturizer to hydrate and smooth! If you use the code Babble20, you can get 20% off all Alpha Skin Care purchases through 4/15/20.
Do More Outdoor Workouts
Why? Good question considering living in the Florida heat isn’t always conducive to an outdoor workout. BUT at the same time, I don’t take advantage of the nice weather here as much as I should. So many fitness studios host free (or inexpensive) outdoor community classes and I live near so many great parks and trails to run.
I can’t stand having tangled cords or earbuds falling out while I work out, so I am loving AfterShokz Aeropex open-ear headphones. They’re sweatproof and waterproof, so I don’t have to worry about the Florida heat (or our random afternoon rain showers that come out of nowhere). You can use code RESET50 for $50 off an Endurance Aeropex bundle until 3/6/20!
I grew up playing sports and it was a huge part of my life, which is why fitness is still so important to me. I’m excited to work with Babbleboxx to raise awareness for The National Endowment for Youth Sports (NEYS) and take The American Youth Sports Pledge. For over 13 million youth in America who live in poverty, access to sports is incredibly challenging. NEYS’s mission is to raise over $100 million for annual and ongoing grants that will help establish accessible youth sports programs throughout the USA. Check them out at the link above to see how you can help!
What are your resolutions this year?? I’d love to hear them, drop them in the comments below!
