You Don't Feel Like Showing up, Now What?

You wake up in the morning and for some reason, you're in a funky mood and you just can't shake it. Or maybe someone or something got your spirits down. Believe me, I overstand. It happens to the best of us.  I'm a huge fan of preparing for your best as well as your not-so-best moments by creating a self-care toolbox filled with mindset exercises, physical activities, mood food, and more to strengthen your resilience muscle.  

In this episode, I discuss:

• Why it's important to embrace your negative emotions and ways to do it.
• How to create your own "get ya mind right"(self-care) toolbox.
• Exercises, activities, and strategies for reducing stress, and boosting your mood.
