Another day, another healthy habit 💦🍋 . I can’t believe we only have a few more to go! In case you’re new here, I’m sharing 15 simple, realistic habits and mindful practices that you can incorporate your routine to help you feel your best.

DAY 12: Focus on Hydration 💧

I’m not going to laundry list all of the benefits of drinking more water because this is one habit we all KNOW we need to do — however if you find yourself struggling with this one, here are some tips that may help:

✨ Drink a glass of water first thing in the morning
✨ Jazz up your water with lemon 🍋
✨ Add electrolytes to your water post-workout
✨ Make homemade juices from hydrating veggies and fruit (this one is celery, cucumber + apple)
✨ Fill an extra large water bottle to keep track of how much you’re drinking through the day
✨ Serve water with every meal
✨ Drink unsweetened iced or hot tea
✨ Set reminders on your phone or use a tracker (like the one in my Mindful Morning Planner)

I used to struggle with this habit but ever since moving to Denver a couple years ago, the dry climate has forced me to focus on hydration daily and now I feel like I’m constantly drinking water and using all the hydrating skincare products 😅

Stay tuned for the final 3 healthy habits of the series coming soon!

DAY 11: Bring Nature Indoors

There are numerous studies that have demonstrated the power of keeping houseplants in your home. Emotionally, the presence of plants help to decrease anxiety and stress. The act of caring for them requires patience and watching them grow provides a feeling of accomplishment. 🪴🫶🏼

Some houseplants help to purify the air and if you plant a small herb garden in your kitchen, you’ll reap the benefits of fresh herbs all year round.

Other simple ways to invite nature indoors are:

🪟 open your windows on a cool day
🤎 choose earth tones for your decor
🌊 play soothing sounds like ocean waves or rain 🕯️ light candles or a fireplace
☀️ set up a reading nook in a very sunny corner of your home

Is this a habit you’re already putting into practice? And if so, what is your favorite way to invite nature indoors?

DAY 10: Live In The Present

The beauty of practicing daily mindfulness is that it helps us shift our mindset to the only thing that is guaranteed — this very moment. Each day we are alive is such a blessing and by channeling that gratitude, we can learn to cultivate more joy in the present moment instead of dwelling on the past or worrying about the future.

Mindfulness allows us to regulate our emotions and is a reminder that everything in life is temporary. We will all face challenges and difficult seasons throughout our lifetime — but cultivating this mindful habit of living in the present is a helpful tool as you wait for the hard times to pass. 🤍

Clean the house with me for Day 9/15 of my Healthy Habit Series 🤍

DAY 9: Clean your space 🧹🫧🧺🧽

I wish I was one of those people that found cleaning to be enjoyable buuuut unfortunately that’s not usually the case. 😅 I do however get very stressed out when there’s too much clutter or things start to feel like they’re piling up. So in reality, keeping my space organized and tidy is probably the most helpful mental health habit that I turn to over and over again 🫧

We’ve all heard the phrase “clear space, clear mind” and I 💯% believe that to be true. Eliminating clutter and keeping things tidy do wonders for mental clarity, creativity, and in my case — a greater sense of ease.

I find that even 10-15 min of cleaning/decluttering a day can really make a big difference but for when life happens and things build up a bit more, having a dedicated “reset day” honestly is so worth it. 💕

Stay tuned for six more simple, realistic habits into your routine to help you feel your best

Stepping into the weekend 👟 and this shift of seasons is making me more excited to spend time outside. Which brings us to day 8/15 of my Healthy Habits series where I’m sharing 15 simple, realistic habits to incorporate into your daily routine to help you feel your best 🤍

DAY 8: GO ON A WALK

Something about getting outside for even 15 min of fresh air and movement is so healing and lately I’ve been doing a lot of “walk and talks” where I put on headphones and chat with friends as I get my steps in.

Sometimes I listen to music or a podcast but many times I just walk without any distractions. There are so many mental and physical benefits of taking time to go on a walk, and right now, it’s been an important tool for me to get out of the house and help reduce stress.

And now with sweater weather approaching I’m so excited to get out for more morning walks with a hot cup of coffee in hand. ☕️

My Healthy Habits series has been on a hiatus but I’m ready to finish what I started 🫶🏼. In many ways, these little habits are exactly what I need right now and have become “healing habits” that I always turn to when I need a mental or physical boost.

My hope is that by the end of this 15 part series you’ll be inspired to incorporate more of these simple, realistic habits into your own daily routines

DAY 7: WRITE IN A JOURNAL ✏️

I’ve been keeping some form of diary or journal on and off since 2nd grade, which is kind of wild when I think about all the notebooks filled with memories stacked in my closet. Writing is such a therapeutic exercise and a great introspective tool to help work through different feelings and emotions.

There are plenty of guided journals if free writing is intimidating and I share plenty of prompts on my blog and @mindfulmorningclub page 📖

I always suggest starting with just 5-10 min of writing time in the morning or evening and expanding if/when your schedule allows. ✨

Do you keep a journal?

Little things that nourished my soul lately 💫

Little things that nourished my soul lately 💫

🐶 mountain views with my lil family
🌸 writing everything out in my journal
🦋 starting to ease back into workouts I enjoy
💐 beautiful flowers & plants from friends
🍦 sushi followed by ube ice cream
💇🏻‍♀️ much needed hair color refresh
☕️ matcha & a new book
💅🏻 treating myself to a pedicure

Healing is not a linear process and I’m giving myself grace to feel all the feelings as they come. Through every challenge, there’s beauty in knowing the heart has a capacity for holding space for it all — for moments of small joys, pain and sorrow, and perhaps most importantly, so much space for hope.

✨Hope that by sharing my story, other women will feel less alone

✨Hope that it helps shines a light on how painful, emotionally and physically, pregnancy loss can be

✨Hope that God will give us our rainbow baby soon

To the hundreds of you who had the kindness and courage to share your own miscarriage stories with me and others who shared words of love, thank you. We have felt so supported this past week and it has given us a lot of strength.

I am craving normalcy again, and that means I’m ready to dive back into work with branded content going live this week and continuing my Healthy Habits series. Life moves forward and even though this experience will stay with me forever,
I am ready to leave the pain behind 🤍

This isnt the announcement I hoped to share. We we

This isnt the announcement I hoped to share. We were so excited to welcome our little baby into this world. Instead we gained an angel. 👼

Last Friday, at 11 weeks and 2 days pregnant, we checked into the OB for an emergency ultrasound. We were just a week shy of our official 12 week appt— the one where we would find out the gender and prepare to share the news with family and friends. Instead, they couldn’t find a heartbeat. 💔

The first trimester hadn’t been easy. At 6 weeks I ended up in the ER but heard the baby’s heartbeat and left feeling hopeful. We saw the baby officially at our 8 week ultrasound and felt more assured that things would progress as we hoped.

Time continued to move forward and by the 11 week mark, we were picking potential names, reading parenting books, and starting to take bump photos.

They say the odds of a miscarriage at 11 weeks is so small… yet here we are. I know we are not alone in this but it doesn’t make the pain and heartbreak any easier.

We’ve been taking time to work through our grief and process this loss together. We are grateful to have such an incredible support system and I thank you all for providing a safe space to share my story. I kindly ask that you do not share any unsolicited medical advice or ask questions.

I know there will be brighter days ahead and this experience has made me very aware of just how much we look forward to having a family. It’s not our time, but I know it will happen someday.

For now, this is goodbye, little one. You are forever in our hearts 👼❤️ ~ M & B
