The sun has just crossed the plane of the earth’s equator— this means longer sunlight-filled days ahead and a warmer climate as the northern hemisphere approaches closer to the sun. Besides the blossoming flowers and lengthier days, there is typically some form of rebirth and regrowth during this season. Whether that is a mental, spiritual, or physical form of transformation, spring is a great time to reflect and refresh as we enter into a much brighter season ahead.

There is something about spring that has always made me excited to start anew. My closet tends to get more spacious, as I thoroughly clean it out around this time, and my body tends to feel more revitalized, as I fill my tummy with lots of fresh fruits and veggies that this season offers. Besides the physical cleaning for spring, I like to focus on my internal state as well— a sort of mental spring cleaning.

As the lifeless foliage turns green and flowers begin to flourish, I find myself too yearning to mirror mother nature. I want to let the past go, forgive, and move forward with both happiness and gratitude.

One of my favorite forms of self-reflection that allows me to practice both forgiveness and gratitude is journaling. If the ability to forgive has been hard this past fall/winter season, I recommend writing a letter to this person in your journal. Writing down your frustration and collecting your thoughts in one place, allows for the transfer of built-up internal anger into organized words. I never send this letter, but at the end, I always make sure to write “I forgive you.” This form of journaling always tends to help me move forward— sometimes I even write multiple “letters” if I still feel anger towards this person. Forgiveness takes time.

Another form of journaling that helps bring about a refreshed mental state is gratitude journaling. Simply being able to focus on what I do have (this can range anywhere from talents and skills, to amazing people I am thankful for, to the highlights of my day) allows me to recognize the blessed life I am able to live. Focusing on the good (instead of complaining, wishing we had more, etc.) allows for happiness to prevail.

This spring, let’s practice moving forward and appreciate the goodness that Mother Nature has blessed us with. So, take that extra hour of sunlight, relax, and let your feelings flow onto paper as your mind is able to let go and spring forward.

 

If there's one health trend you need to be informed about, it's the implementation of probiotics in your diet. Probiotics are live bacteria and yeasts that help the digestive system, that's right- GOOD bacteria! These good bacteria keep your gut healthy and functioning at optimal levels. More specifically, probiotics help food move through the gut and digestive system. Probiotics have also been linked to stronger immune system, healthier skin and weight loss. You've probably heard of probiotics being found in yogurt or a pill form, but they actually come in several forms. 

1. Yogurt: One of the most accessible forms of probiotics is live-cultured yogurt. However, pay close attention to how the yogurt is made and the sugar/ high fructose corn syrup content. 

2. Kombucha: This fizzy, sweet probiotic drink is a refreshing way to incorporate probiotics into your diet. The black tea is fermented with SCOBY, which is a live bacteria and yeast colony. Along with digestive benefits, Kombucha boosts energy and detoxes the liver. 

3. Sauerkraut and Kimchi: These flavorful, cultured vegetables are an excellent way to build probiotics into your cooking. Sauerkraut is made from fermented cabbage and is high in organic acids. Kimchi is widely used in Korean dishes and can also add some spice to your cooking!

4. Kefir: Kefir is very similar to yogurt because it is a fermented dairy product that is combined with fermented kefir grains. Because it's fermented with more bacteria and yeast, it's actually higher in probiotic content than yogurt. 

5. Miso Soup: Miso Soup is made from fermented soybean paste. Miso is a traditionally Japanese dish that is known for its macrobiotic and digestive regulating properties. 

Have you hopped on a probiotic kick yet? These are some of our favorites- but let us know your go-to probiotic form in the comments below!

With the chilly weather comes all the things we love about winter- pumpkin spice lattes, cozy blankets, blazing fires, Thanksgiving comfort foods and the smell of Christmas. Unfortunately, chilly weather is also known to bring some not-so-popular things like the cold and flu. It's about that time when the sniffles and chills come out to play (and rudely interrupt holiday festivities).

Embrace the cold weather months with a healthy mind and body to keep those sick days at bay. Stay alert and aware about your health and the health of others so you can make the most out of the season and stay one step ahead of the ickiness! Here are some of my preventative go-tos that help me stay well and good. 

1. Rest up. 

Take full advantage of daylight savings and sleep in a few minutes past your alarm. Sleep is necessary for your body to become refreshed and replenished for the next day. Sleep is linked to improved memory, reduced inflammation and sharper attention skills. 

2. Drink up. Fluids, that is. 

Your body is constantly losing water throughout the day, so it's important to stay hydrated. Water oxygenates your blood and flushes toxins from the body so that your organs can function at optimal levels. Water also helps you digest your food properly and allows cells to be properly nourished with nutrients. 

3. Give your immune system a boost. 
Let food be thy medicine! Some immunity boosting foods include: garlic, ginger, spinach, turmeric, green tea and broccoli. Garlic is one of my favorite immunity boosting foods that is known to fight infection and bacteria. I use crushed garlic in my cooking all the time to maintain high levels of immunity and maximize flavor! 
4. Stay fresh and clean. 
You can do your best to maintain your health, but cold weather months are breeding grounds for viruses and infections. Do your part in protecting yourself and others by practicing cleanliness and good hygiene. I like to keep hand sanitizer and disinfectant wipes in my car for easy access! 
5. Keep it stress-free.
Stress suppresses your immune system, making you vulnerable to sickness and infection. The best way to stay ahead of the cold and flu is to take gentle care of your body and mind. Make sure you are setting aside time every day to breathe deeply, clear your mind and reflect on gratitude and appreciation for your health and wellness. Wellness starts from the inside and requires balance and harmony within all aspects of your being. 

Let us know in the comments below some of your go-to health tips for the cold and flu season. We hope you stay happy and well during these magical winter months!
