Instagram and Facebook are two of my favorite media platforms.
I also hold an equal amount of hate and disdain for both them.
Social media has become this super effective tool for spreading positive messages and staying in touch with people.
It has also given us all a filter through which we can share our lives, as well as view the lives of others.
I mean, a good filter and a popular quote can make my life look much more put together than it actually is.
And the same goes for the wellness pages I follow.
I got to the end of April, and honestly, felt a little discouraged. I felt like I was failing at being a bad ass wellness ambassador.
I haven't had my green smoothie 4 times a week.
I haven't consistently taken my pro-biotics.
My water consumption is, quite frankly, pathetic.
And I really need to eat more vegetables.
So for the month of May, instead of sitting back and feeling sorry for myself trying to implement a new challenge, I am just going for maintenance.
To recap this year's challenges:
January - hydration
February - eat yo' greens
March - activity
April - spring cleaning/detox
This month, I am focusing on centering myself.
For me, that is prayer, worship and yoga.
I will drink water. I only have a thousand water bottles, so this shouldn't be so hard.
I truly want to enjoy lemon water, but it's so sour...
I love vegetables, but I get lazy. And the shredded carrots on top of my pad thai don't really count.
May, I am actually really happy you are here.
Because, I feel I can press into the healthy habits I have identified as needing work.
I also feel I can do it without judgment, and instead, with full support.
What will this month look like for you?
Is it a month of reflection? A month of rest? A month of trying new things?
All of those are good and well.
And my hope is you feel totally supported here while you are doing it.
Wellness Wishes to you all!
