Day 7
Rest Day
In middle of our busy lives we often forget to slow down physically and mentally. This can cause unwanted stress and anxiety to the mind and body. As we re-group, meditate, relax, or just find some peace we get to know our inner self. We become better, a confident more polished us.
Take the time to relax! Share your favorite way to relax or meditate in post comments.

Day 6
Learn a new skill
It's always good to keep your mind and body guessing. Learning new skills keeps you young and active. You probably have heard the saying "A body in motion stays in motion" I think that can be applied to your brain as well.
Share your new skill in the comments below. I would love ideas and motivation for us all to learn new skills.

Day 5
Good Snacks
I love a chocolate protein drink with celery and almond butter. I have this a lot after my work-out.
Choose you snacks wisely. A lot of time we just start eating whatever is in front of us, not thinking about the food value. Before you have a snack think:
- Are you hungry
- Why do I want to eat?
- What should I eat?
- Don't eat unless you are hungry. Drink water before you decide. A lot of times we mistake hungry for thirst.
- If you are bored or feeling a certain emotion we like too eat for comfort. This can lead to bad food choices and weight gain.
- Plan your snacks, don't just start eating whatever. You will make healthier choices this way
Enjoy your snacks!

Day 4
Do Yoga!
There are so many benefits to practicing yoga. If you practice yoga, GREAT, if not it's a perfect time to start. For my tune up I will just focus on one benefit hoping it will rekindle your love or start the flame to practice yoga.
Fall asleep, stay asleep longer, and wake up with fewer aches and pains
When you practice yoga you'll be releasing pent up energy that could prevent you from falling asleep, and sleeping soundly once you do get to sleep. Yoga helps relax your nervous system, which is the part of your body responsible for restful sleep or a night of tossing and turning.
The meditative aspect of yoga is apparent here, and if a racing mind is what keeps you from getting to sleep, you may benefit greatly from performing yoga at any point during the day to quiet the mind and free yourself from the constant loop of thoughts that keeps you awake at night.
