Step into SPRING and a new YOU!

• Start JUICING, this is a wonderful way to get a ton of nutrients all in one glass.  Green never looked so good or red, my favourite is beet juice, it is believed to get oxygen flowing which is great before a work-out.
• Eat more PLANT based foods.  How about Meatless Mondays?  There are so many delicious recipes out there to help you make the leap to eating less meat.  Better for your body and the planet.
• How about growing and harvesting from your very own VEGGIE garden, it's so full-filling for your spirit.  Go organic, of course better for an less expensive than buying at the grocery store.
• Ok right now get up and do some JUMP JACKS, start with 25-50x and work up to 100x. It will get your heart rate up, generate some heat and make you fill like a kid again.
• PLANK, love it... just do it.  You could always do on your knees or on elbows and move up to the Full Monty.  Hold for 30secs and work up to 60secs, when you get good, add a few extras like a side plank or lift one leg up at a time.
• For a bit of zing include a LEMON slice to your water.  I enjoy half of a lemon with a teaspoon of honey as a tea.   You will be adding Vitamin C which is great for your skin and help neutralize the acid in your gut, so your tummy will be happy.
• BREATHE, like take a really deep breathe... stress will melt away, need I say more. 
• Speaking of stress, SMILE more.   Fake it to you can make it,  it works!
• Adopt a pet, the unconditional LOVE of an animal is priceless and is known to lower blood pressure and of course save a life, does it get better than that. 
• Go for a WALK or a RUN, this is a great way to clear your mind and of course burn calories. 
• S.T.R.E.T.C.H - your body will thank you, try Child's Pose, it's everyone's favourite.
• Create a VISION BOARD, your perfect life can start on a piece of card board. 
• BALANCE, the Tree pose in yoga is great to work on; stand tall like an oak tree.  But balance is needed not just physically but in life itself.   So start working on the above mentioned spring list.  With these little changes you will find more of what you want and need to nurture yourself. Ready for the best summer ever.
