TAKING ACTION: ✅ It’s time to share your weekly win/NSV, friends! I can’t wait to celebrate with you today! 🎉 “Treat every small victory like you just won the Super Bowl.” ~Lewis Howes Happy Friday, friends! We’ve had a big week, and you’ve had plenty of opportunities to snag a small win, wouldn’t you say? With a 24-Hour Fasting opportunity, surely you can find something to celebrate! Remember, it doesn’t have to be grandiose—but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t treat it like it is! As the quote above says, “Treat every small victory like you just won the Super Bowl.” 🎉 ⬇️The Power of Treating Small Wins As Though They’re Big Wins⬇️ Celebrating small wins as though they’re big ones rewires your brain to release more dopamine and build stronger positive associations with progress, making it easier to stay motivated over the long haul. It creates momentum by breaking overwhelming goals into manageable, rewarding steps, which prevents burnout and keeps you consistently moving forward instead of waiting for rare “huge” victories. Treating small achievements with genuine enthusiasm also trains you to notice and appreciate progress in everyday life, dramatically improving your overall happiness and resilience regardless of external results. 🎉 You see, it’s important. I didn’t say it…science did. 😉

Always believe the best for yourself and give yourself some grace along the way

TAKING ACTION: ✅ Let’s have some fun today—who’s a smoothie fan and who isn’t? Either way, smoothies are a great way to pack in the nutrients your body needs! Today let’s talk about something that often gets overlooked when it comes to supporting your health—micronutrients. Micronutrients are the vitamins and minerals found in foods like fruits, vegetables, herbs, nuts, and seeds. Even though our bodies only need them in small amounts, they play a huge role in keeping everything running properly—from supporting your immune system to helping your body produce energy and repair itself. There are around 30 essential vitamins and minerals your body relies on regularly. Many of these nutrients work together behind the scenes to support daily functions and keep you feeling your best. Because the body can’t produce most of them on its own, we have to get them through the foods we eat. While supplements can sometimes help fill in the gaps, whole foods are always the best place to start. Unfortunately, many people still fall short of eating enough fruits and vegetables each day. If you struggle to get enough produce in your meals, smoothies can be an easy and delicious solution. They’re a simple way to blend together fruits, leafy greens, plant proteins, and healthy fats to create something that’s both nourishing and satisfying. So next time you’re at the grocery store, don’t skip the produce aisle! 🍓🥬 If you want a great place to start, check out this recipe: The Ultimate Smoothie Recipe – Vegan + Plant-Protein Packed (whitneyerd.com)

TAKING ACTION: ✅Comment FASTING below if you’re opting into today’s full-day fast! ✅Any last-minute questions? Share them below! Today’s the day, friends—it’s our monthly 24-hour fast! Trust me, it’s not as hard as it seems, and I’m going to give you all the tips and tricks to navigate it successfully! Keep your mind focused on the healing benefits of an extended fast—more fat burn, improved cognitive function, potential prevention against diabetes and obesity, and autophagy (a cellular process where cells break down and recycle their own damaged or unnecessary components to maintain energy and health). Check out the helpful tips below that will help you navigate today’s fast ⬇️ 🍽 Drink plenty of water and be prepared to drink more than you think you need. 💦 Electrolyte water (without added sugars) is always a wise choice because when we fast, our bodies quickly lose electrolytes/minerals. Electrolyte water will replenish those and help us push through with energy. The same part of our brain that signals when we are thirsty and when we are hungry, so if you feel hungry, drink more water. 🍽 As with our 16-hour fasts, be sure not to exceed 50 liquid calories; otherwise, you are at risk for breaking your fast. It’s also important to ensure your creamer doesn’t contain added sugar. You can also drink black coffee, unsweetened tea, hot tea, our Hydration, Creatine, Collagen, or BCAAs. ☕️ 🍽 Keep yourself busy today and remind yourself of why you’re doing this. Fasting is not happening TO us. It is happening FOR us. It’s important to give your digestive system a complete break now, and then so it can recover. Extended fasts also allow our bodies to repair our cells. Remember, extended fasts should be used for healing, not as punishment. 💯 🍽 Fast as long as you can, but always listen to your body. Anything over 12 hours is beneficial, and anything over 16 hours is awesome! Progress over perfection applies here, too. 🍽 Rest today or participate in a recovery day. It is important not to deplete your energy during your 24-hour fast.
