The best thing about waking up before the sun rises: being ready to greet it when it does!!
How are you today?
doesn’t have to mean today is a wash in terms of your health or in terms of your goals!!!
Be your own motivation today!!
Remind yourself what your goal is, and then remind yourself WHY that’s your goal.
Will skipping today help you reach your goal? If the answer is no, then get going! Take a tiny step and then get your cozy on, but don’t let the wash yesterday’s progress away!
What do you do with your veggie and fruit juice pulp?! These pulp are so easy!!
Any kind of pulp + almond flour + egg + honey + cinnamon + avocado oil + baking soda + pinch of salt ... YUM 😋
Great for a keto or low carb diet!

It’s never easy to get out of bed … especially if you’re just not a morning person. Here’s why should try it anyway!
1. Boost your mood: proven to help combat depression and anxiety, watching the sunrise can help you start every day with peace of mind and a little slice of morning joy.
2. Open your eyes, open your mind: the calm of the morning paired with the beauty of the sun and all its glory will shape your mindset for the day. Whether you’re trying to make an important decision, stressed about all the things life is throwing at you, or just looking for direction and purpose … basking in the rising sun is both healing and inspiring.
3. Catch rare beauty: the colors in each sunset are remarkable, and they never come to light exactly the same from day to day. Pause, and take in each sunrise as they come — better than stopping to smell the roses, rising to greet the morning sun is unlike anything else in the world.
4. Beat morning stress: just be still in the quiet of the morning, breathe in the fresh, new-day air, and welcome just this moment without allowing the stress of what comes next in your day to creep in. Just watch, and be still.
5. Accept a free gift: nothing beats free! Watch from your bedroom window, sit in your backyard, or hop in your car and find the best vantage point in town. Wherever you find yourself when the sun rises, enjoy this free gift as often as possible.

PS it was pretty hazy this morning, so it was tricky to capture the actual rising sun in a photo ... but our greenery sure looked pretty 😍
