6am Yin with Sarah ❣️

I love to read.
📚
This is part of the stack I've been working thru for the past 6 months.
📚
Some Black History, some self-help/personal development, some feminism.
📚
What are you reading? I'm always looking for new ideas 😁

Stay cool.
😎
Or snuggle in with a good book, warm tea, slippers, binge watch something, play a game...

I've been trying to get a crust recipe down for awhile. Eric wants a buttery, flaky crust. I don't want the store bought (too many ingredients I don't want in my diet)
🍽️
What's your fave crust recipe?

Taking time to grow, stretch, expand.

Eric says I have to adult today.
So, here we are looking at mini vans.

He has arrived.
Cell phone ready so he can chat with the Big Guy and hand sanitizer.

Getting rid of clutter. I work on this everyday.

Having kids was always something I wanted. REALLY bad.

I love my kids.

I love my husband.

I have been working on some personal growth. A never ending journey. I challenge you to do the same. Did you know we are what we think? If you think positive, positive things happen. Alternatively the opposite will happen, too.

I totally stole this from a dear friend, Jess Lawinger 💜 Thanks Jess!

Tell me below something GOOD that happened to you in 2020! ✨💓

We rang in 2020 at home, well I was at home with Freja who was sleeping. Eric and the big girls were down the street at a friend's house, spilling Cheetos on the carpet (Alisa Buckingham, Eric Chalgren)
As a family we set intentions at dinner of 2020 being a great year filled with adventures and laughter!
🌟
I’ve noticed an abundance of negativity put out there around the year 2020 - people just wanting it to be over. My issue with this is, we get what we put out there. It’s called LAW OF ATTRACTION.
🌟
If you want to change your circumstances, you need to change your thoughts. Our thoughts become our reality. We have so much power within ourselves - we just need to decide how we are going to use it. Choose wisely.
🌟

We all sat down to eat together. As we do most meals. It's a great time to catch up with each other.
🍽️
I was last to sit down and last to leave tonight.
🍽️
But it was quiet and no one threw any food on me 😃

I am being intentional about how I move my body these days. I have been struggling to loose the old baby weight and this the new found covid weight.
💪🏻
I'm tired. I'm stressed. I'm not alone.
💪🏻
I'm working my hardest to raise 3 girls as strong, confident women. I know they are more likely to follow my lead then to do what I say. So, I get up every morning. 13 days in a row so far (this is huge for me) - I haven't let excuses get in my way the past 13 days. I even went out in a thunderstorm ⛈️ (that was a short walk/run). I run and walk. I am working up to a 5k. We shall see....
💪🏻
I am now noticing some changes.
1. I am not eating as much. I crave less of the not real foods.
2. I feel better (still tired tho - 7 yrs of interrupted sleep) - lighter, more alert.
3. My clothing is starting to fit differently.
4. I'm sore in my knees and this morning my foot.
💪🏻
I've been using tumeric honey, Cool Azul Pain Relief Cream and a roller of PanAway. Drinking a lot of water and eating all the veggies and fruit of the summer.
💪🏻
What's in your routine?
