Health and fitness is so important today when it comes to our bodies and our brain. When you wake up do you usually slug out of bed hoping there’s coffee in the pot? I do… I’m very guilty of drinking 2 cups of coffee in the morning because I’m so exhausted and need that extra kick. Coffee is not the best way to start your morning. If you load up on caffeine and sugar in the morning what are you going to do for the rest of the day? As an alternative, I like to start with a smoothie or something with protein like an egg to get the right amount of nutrients I need to start the day. This past week I have been waking up early and doing some yoga or a short wake up exercise video. A video that I follow sometimes is on YouTube her name is Casey Ho and it’s called “Wake up with me workout”. I feel more energetic and ready for the day now even without coffee! I feel as though my health is improving just from doing this simple 10 minute video every morning. I struggle with the consistency part though, I always say I’m going to keep with it but, let’s be honest I really don’t want to get up at 6:30 every morning. What I find is that the more I actually get up and follow the video the more I enjoy it. I feel my morning routines help keep up my mental and physical health. When I push myself out of bed and on a yoga matt, I end up looking forward to the early mornings so I can feel woke by a calm wave of energy getting me ready for the day. If your like me I don’t like to go to the gym and see people I know, something about it I find uncomfortable. I usually workout at home or go for runs with my dog. I try and find ways to motivate myself to actually finishing a workout video or a run. If I do a 10 minute video I can take a 2 minute phone break while I’m still up and moving, or whenever I go for a run I stop by the store and buy myself an iTunes card. I never stop trying to get myself to leave the safe and warmth of my house, I do this by trying to set goals for myself. One day I go for a 15 minute run, I tell myself tomorrow I go 10 more minutes and then 20 and then 30, I am constantly reassuring myself that I can do that extra block on a run or I can do that extra 5 minute cardio video. If you are constantly putting yourself down and telling yourself that u can’t do it or don’t want to do it, obviously you are not going to workout or eat healthier. You need to feed yourself confidence by saying that you can eat better and you can run further. Health and fitness are 2 very important things needed for a successful and happy life. Not only eat healthy but your brain needs to be healthy too, As in not corrupted by the drama of people or your friends around you. People often forget to take care of themselves before the others around them.

Hi Sophia, I really liked your blog! At the end when you said 'You need to feed yourself confidence' I really thought about that for a couple of seconds. It was so inspirational- I might even put it on my wall :)

This blog is really funny because I just recenlty started to change my brekfast from a cup of coffee to a smoothie and getting a ride to riding my bike to school. All round this is a great blog and goes into depth about her own life.
