Need a nutritious snack on-the-go? Place some of your favorite healthy snacks in a size-appropriate jar and out the door you go:

🥕 Veggie sticks – put a little guacamole or hummus at the bottom of the jar

🥜 Trail mix – use smaller size container or jar to keep portions in tact

🥒 Other sliced veggie ideas? Asparagus spears that are lightly steamed or string (green) beans for something a little different, cucumbers, or yellow bell peppers for a milder taste

Are you a morning person or a night owl?
It seems that the morning person is thought of as the productive, responsible one of the two — but that isn’t a fair narrative. If you’re a night owl, you may have spent too many years of your life trying to force yourself to be a morning person. We’re taught the “early bird gets the worm,” so we try to squeeze ourselves into molds that aren’t us.

Whether you’re an early riser or a night owl, I want you to give yourself the permission and the space to be who you are. If you’re truly wired to be most productive later in the day, embrace it!

The most crucial part is that you’re allowing yourself to thrive in the way your mind works best.

Eating slowly and mindfully is one of the best ways to savor our food and enjoy it to the fullest. By focusing on each bite and fully engaging our senses, we can experience the flavor, texture, and aroma in a way that isn’t possible when we rush through a meal or eat while distracted.

Eating slowly helps us to better recognize when we are full, reducing the risk of overeating or eating too quickly. Studies have shown that slower eating may allow for a more thorough digestion of food. So if you’re looking to make your meals even more enjoyable and nutritious, try eating without distractions and slowing down your pace. By slowing down and tuning in to how our bodies feel, we can ensure that we consume what our bodies need while getting the most enjoyment out of each bite.
