The Road to Joy

I’d like to keep this short and sweet with six steps to maintaining my “glow” on this #roadtojoy.

Whole Foods and Healthy Nutrition: Find your unique balance and eat processed foods in moderation. Food is what fuels our cells, so only consume what your body needs. It’s a precious resource, don’t let it go to waste.

Community and Connection:  Reaching out to family, clients, chefs, mentors, and friends is an intentional practice of building community. Learn from the lesson and give gratitude to every friendship that taught you how to evolve.

Rest and Self- love (awareness): Try checking in with yourself throughout the day, acknowledging the highs and the lows, the inconveniences, and the Wins. Take a beat to find the peace within… that’s my key to “the glow”. 💫 

Wellness is the key: Wellness begins with mindfulness. Before we wake up, notice your presence, breath and feel your way through the process of starting your day, slowly.

Hydration and Sleep: Water is what we’re made of. Warm warmer flushes out the toxins and helps your gut flow. Let water fuel your mind hydrate your skin and get plenty of sleep to recover.

Stretching and Flexibility: I was a gymnast and ice skater as a child. Back bends and balance beams were my favorite, but as we grow older it’s important to keep ourselves limber and mobile to prevent injury. Move, often and daily!

Carpe Diem,

Ali
