It's Monday Again!
And time for some Motivation!
Motivation for me looks like:
-More energy.
-Less fatigue.
-Accomplishing more through the day.
-Being a good mom to my kids and keeping up with their activities.

I'm not sure that I know anyone who doesn't benefit from More Energy and a Healthy Weight.

They tie together hand in hand. So this week - let's eat to feed our bodies, not when we're board. Let's play more with our kids outside instead of in front of the t.v. Let's frown less and smile more!

As a mom of 4 kids, home business owner, wife and volunteer I have very little alone time. In July I

started waking before the rest of the family started to stir, heading outside and exercising. The benefits for me have been huge! Not only physically but mentally as well.

Here are 4 Reasons to work out when the sun rises:

1. It's the most peaceful time of day and a great way to get some alone time.
2. It helps to prepare for the day, organize your thoughts and provides clarity.
3. It boosts metabolism and gets your digestive system and other organs working. 
4. A 30 minute workout each day is equal to 1 prescription mood enhancement pill. 
5. It's a great chance to Burn More Fat Naturally.

It's Monday again! And time to "Breath" in the motivation! 

Have you ever used essential oils? Our family has been learning more and more about them and using them daily. If your new to oils (or even if you have used many) I found this article helpful to me as far as the Essential Oils Industry is concerned and a reputable place to buy my oils without costing a fortune. I would recommend reading HERE before going any further. 

3 Essential Oils that will Motivate You:

Lemon: Provides Energy and Detox

Peppermint: Curbs Appetite 

Grapefruit: Boosts Metabolism 

These oils can be defused in your home or you can apply them to your body safely by themselves or with a carrier oil.

What are your health goals? Our health goes far beyond the number on the scale. 

 

Regular exercise can help you develop new brain cells, increase your insulin sensitivity, increase your muscle mass and strength, lessen your risk of heart attack and stroke, strengthen your bones and improve your sleep quality. And yes, it can even help you lose weight.

Here's a great fitness tracker (source via Pinterest). That helps to keep you accountable to exercising this week.

Welcome  to the first Monday in AUGUST! 2015 is over 1/2 way over! Can you believe it? So let's make the most of the rest of this week, month and year! 

Here are three things you can do to help give you more motivation this week: 

1. Drink Up! Drink water and lots of it! Our bodies need water to work correctly, allowing us to have motivation and energy to get tasks done.

2. Write it down! When you know your desires, dreams, expectations your more motivated to reach them.

3. Get Out! Outside that is. Adequate vitamin D intake is important for the regulation of calcium and phosphorus absorption, maintenance of healthy bones and teeth, and is suggested to supply a protective effect against multiple diseases and conditions such as cancer, type 1 diabetes and multiple sclerosis.

4 Tips for Less Mess

 Pictures like this totally motivate me to clean my house! 

With kids there are bound to be piles, spills, trash, toys, snacks and everything else ON THE FLOOR. Here are 4 super easy tips that will help keep things less of a mess that have worked in our home.

4 Tips for Less Mess

#1: Take out the trash and take it out often! 

Taking out the trash helps eliminate weird smells and helps keep a tidy appearance.

 

#2: Don't Eat in the Living Room!

This is a pet peeve of mine. Less vacuuming is required when there are less crumbs on the furniture and living room floor.

 #3: Hang it up.

We have hooks by our front and back door. This helps keep bags, hats and coats up and out of the way.

 #4: Hide it.

Cute baskets or bins are a great way to hide the clutter. We use these for toys, blankets, games and anything else that would be better unseen.
