Intelligence: the ability to acquire and apply knowledge and skills.
How’s 2017 treating you? We’re almost through January!
As you’ve likely experienced too, I’ve had some ups and downs.
The ups have taken me to new heights of gratitude and joy, and the downs have reminded me of how very important self-care is – and how important is it to have self-care rituals hardwired in place to support you when you’re down.
I’ve never been more proud of the mindset, movement, fuel, sleep and connection practices I teach through The Life Delicious, or more motivated to continue learning so that I can share more powerful tools with you.
I hope you’ll enjoy this month’s roundup. Happy reading/listening/watching!
