Double Your Energy While Staying Home

Food is 𝗘𝗡𝗘𝗥𝗚𝗬. And your body is an engine.⁣ 
⁣
For your car to run smoothly and fast, you will want to give it proper fuel, am I right?⁣
⁣
The same applies to nutrition.⁣
⁣
When we eat in a stressed out anxious state, our digestion suffers.⁣

⁣
You may ask, “Why am I snacking all day and still feeling hungry?”⁣
⁣
⁣
This is a common sign that the stress response in your body is ON, and you’re not assimilating nutrients. ⁣
⁣
So what to do? ⁣
⁣
Make sure to relax before you eat. Take a deep breath, turn off any screen distractions, and focus on your taste buds. ⁣
⁣
By focusing on your food alone, you allow your body to guide you how much food does it need to feel nourished and happy, as opposed to 𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘵𝘶𝘧𝘧𝘦𝘥 and lethargic.⁣
⁣
Not only does being lethargic affects your mood but it also affects your desire to exercise = causing you to feel even more lethargic.⁣
⁣
Movement is life! 💃🏻💃🏻🎶🧘🏻‍♀️⁣

To ensure you double your energy while staying at home:⁣
⁣

⁣

⁣
— 𝗔𝘃𝗼𝗶𝗱 sitting all day without getting sufficient exercise ⁣
⁣
The opposite of avoidance is acceptance:⁣

⁣
— 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗲𝗽𝘁 that Who are you being is even more important than What do you eat⁣
⁣
— 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗲𝗽𝘁 that getting in enough exercise is the best stress-reliever, and your body deserves it.⁣
