I truly understand that what we're going through at this time is completely out of our control and therefore leaving us in fear, uncertainty and (possible) frustration. Due to this time, I encourage you to focus on what isin your control.
One of the major factors that we are temporarily removed from is physical interaction. That part of what makes our wellness whole. That said, we really need to lean into making sure our bodies are receiving the love and care they deserve in other ways so we can come out of this (because we will!) well and ready to take on the world again. What does this look like?
- Making sure you're filling your home with non-toxic materials, scents, cleaning materials, etc. 🌿 The air in our homes is typically more toxic than outside if we're not careful about what we're releasing into our little atmosphere. If you need to re-up on some non-toxic cleaners, Honeydipped Essentials has a new cleaning product collection out NOW.

- Eating whole, real foods 🍽 I know you hear this often but there's a genuine (scientific) reason. You don't want to suppress your immune system with, processed, high-sugar foods. These kinds of foods are only going to place you in a vulnerable position heading back into your normal routine when this is over. Because it will be over!
- Practicing daily movement 🏃🏽♀️ Even if it's a quick stretch. Keep the blood flowing throughout your veins and lymph nodes. This allows the blood to transfer nutrients easier throughout your body.
- Limiting your alcohol intake 🥃 Aside from damaging your king detoxing organ (liver), consuming too much alcohol can cause brain swelling, increased blood sugar and pressure, deplete you of nourishing vitamins and minerals and severely impact your gut health by contributing to the overgrowth of bad gut bacteria.
- Your mindset 💭 I've received some texts and spoken with a couple of people who feel alone when it comes to lack of motivation but that is just not true. It's okay to feel uneasy, unmotivated or just wanting to rest. Those are some of the beautiful silver linings during this time. It's forcing us to take that break or challenging us to find new ways to become motivated. Remember to be kind to yourself.
- Your time ⏳ What are you consuming; who are you allowing to fill your time and why?
Can you think of any shifts that can be made?
My heart is with all of you during this time and if you have any questions, please feel free to respond to this email.
With love and gratitude ✨🙏🏽
