📝 Look at your calendar for the next 30 days. Write down all the commitments that are non negotiables and add them to the calender. Now write down all the things you want to be intentional about doing, (example: family camping trip, icecream date, outdoor movie night) and mark that down. Now think about all the things that could, might, or will come up over the summer that you DON'T want to commit to. Write these on a separate piece of paper and be specific and include everything! You now have a summer of intention and a summer "No-no" list to remind you to set boundaries around a simple summer. Share below: After this exercise, how do you feel in your body about your summer calendar and your "no-no" list?

I’m always looking for different ideas for breakfast and snacks (meals in genera). So I thought I would share my favourite breakfast. It’s so good it could even be classified as a dessert. Oikos 0% Greek yogurt, sliced strawberries, and bird & Co. PB and chocolate granola And 2 hardboiled eggs

Welcome to our July theme: A Simple Summer! If you haven't yet had a chance, feel free to scroll down to find our monthly coaching call where we dive into everything that we'll cover this month. The goal is to slow down and take the summer in. Not with a FOMO attitude or feeling the need to cram it all in, but rather listening to the call of Jesus to rest and be still. On our call, Lindsay had a wonderful idea to find a scripture that resonated with her about slowing down and rest. Because I love this idea so much, I thought we'd open it up to the group! What is a verse that resonates with you about rest and creating simplicity in your life? Share your verse with us in the comments! As we move into July, let your verse be your foundation. Meditate on it every day. Let it guide you in the little and big decisions you make each day. Let's have a Simple Summer!!

Most people think their metabolism is determined by their workouts. But exercise is only one piece of the puzzle. One of the biggest contributors to daily energy expenditure is something called NEAT (Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis). NEAT includes all the calories you burn through movement that isn't intentional exercise: ✔ Walking around the house ✔ Cleaning ✔ Grocery shopping ✔ Taking the stairs ✔ Standing instead of sitting ✔ Fidgeting ✔ Playing with your kids In fact, for many people, NEAT contributes more to total daily calorie expenditure than a single workout. This is why we don't support our metabolism through one workout alone. We support it through consistent movement throughout the entire day. A 45-minute workout is great. But if you spend the other 15 hours awake sitting, your overall daily energy expenditure will be much lower than someone who moves frequently throughout the day. So here's a question: What is one way you could increase your NEAT today without adding another workout to your schedule?
