Mindful Monday: Mindful Diet

So as promised in last week's Mindful Monday post, this post is about the type of "mindful diet" that I follow. While trying to ensure I only put wholesome, natural foods in my body, I also utilize other mindful techniques to ensure my body is functioning at its best. I have created a list of my daily habits that I include in my "mindful diet."

• Green Tea and Honey: 

I love to have a cup of green tea with a honey stick each morning.

• Morning Meditation:

Practicing meditation each morning when I wake up really helps me focus on the my breath and the present.

•  Sun Salutations:

Doing daily Sun Salutations helps to get my body moving, while still remaining in the moment.

• Oatmeal with Flax and Blueberries:

Nothing like a hot bowl of steel-cut oats with flax seeds and wild blueberries.

• Indie Music:

My favorite radio station broadcast live from Emerson

• Deep Breathing:

Deep breathing exercises help to refocus my mind

• Fidget Breaks:

Fidget breaks are movement breaks where my kiddos and I do guided stretches and physical activities to "get the wiggles out"

• Water, Water, Water:

I try to drink at 6-8 cups of ice water, preferably with lemon

• Afternoon Meditation:

One of my favorite times of the day 

• Evening Run:

My evening run helps me to clear out my head while keeping my body and heart healthy

•  7-8 Hours of Sleep:

Duh!

What are some of your daily habits for a healthier, more mindful lifestyle?

Cheers,
