Speaker 1: Hello you guys, Welcome back to another episode of the
0:16
Speaker 1: Hogrel Energy Podcast. I'm your host, Kayleie, and this is
0:19
Speaker 1: your weekly reminder that it's a new day, a new week,
0:22
Speaker 1: a new mindset, and another day for you to become
0:24
Speaker 1: the hot gral energy you want to attract. Hello you guys,
0:27
Speaker 1: Happy Wednesday, Welcome to another episode. I cannot believe it,
0:33
Speaker 1: but we are entering May this week and my mindset
0:36
Speaker 1: has been fully summer like. I'm locked in. I'm ready
0:40
Speaker 1: to take on the summer season. I think everyone can
0:43
Speaker 1: agree that the motivation that comes within you for the
0:47
Speaker 1: summer season is unmatched. I feel like I'm at my
0:50
Speaker 1: happiest self. I feel like I'm definitely always more energetic
0:54
Speaker 1: in the summer, wanting to get out of the house
0:57
Speaker 1: do things. I honestly feel like if I lived in
0:59
Speaker 1: a warmer climate like Florida or anywhere warm, I feel
1:03
Speaker 1: like I would thrive the entire year, just because my
1:05
Speaker 1: body solely relies on the weather. If the weather is
1:09
Speaker 1: not one hundred percent like, i feel like I'm not productive.
1:13
Speaker 1: I don't want to do anything. I just want to
1:14
Speaker 1: stay in my bed, Whereas when the sun is out,
1:17
Speaker 1: I'm like get me outside. I want to do things,
1:19
Speaker 1: I want to get out of the house all that.
1:21
Speaker 1: So I don't know. I know it's a thing that
1:23
Speaker 1: some people really rely for their mental health when it
1:26
Speaker 1: comes to weather, and unfortunately that is my situation. But
1:29
Speaker 1: I do always try and have a positive mindset when
1:32
Speaker 1: it comes to the winter season and the gloomy days
1:34
Speaker 1: and all that. Of course, I always try my best
1:36
Speaker 1: to get through it. But you know, everyone has their
1:39
Speaker 1: own little thing when it comes to their productivity levels
1:42
Speaker 1: and energy levels and all that. I actually had a
1:45
Speaker 1: really off week last week. I felt like I was
1:47
Speaker 1: really in a funk, and I don't know, I think
1:49
Speaker 1: it played a factor with multiple things. I was kind
1:52
Speaker 1: of off with my routine last week, just in terms
1:55
Speaker 1: of like my workout classes. They were kind of like
1:57
Speaker 1: scattered around. It wasn't really consistent. So usually when I'm
2:00
Speaker 1: out of routine, I do find that it kind of
2:02
Speaker 1: messes with my head. The weather was completely off the
2:05
Speaker 1: entire week. We had rainy mornings and then sunny afternoons
2:09
Speaker 1: or vice versa, sunny mornings rainy afternoons. Like every day
2:12
Speaker 1: there was rain, but it just the weather was just
2:14
Speaker 1: on and off all day. So that to me really
2:17
Speaker 1: just messes up with my mind because it's like, what's
2:19
Speaker 1: going on. Is it going to be a nice day
2:20
Speaker 1: where I'm going to get out of the house or
2:22
Speaker 1: is it going to be a gloomy day where I'm
2:24
Speaker 1: trapping myself inside and I'm not leaving the house. And
2:26
Speaker 1: then thirdly, it was my time of the month last week,
2:29
Speaker 1: so of course whenever it's like a few days before
2:31
Speaker 1: your period and like the days of your period, I
2:34
Speaker 1: don't know, I'm not feeling my best self and I'm
2:36
Speaker 1: sure you guys can agree to that. So there was
2:37
Speaker 1: just like multiple factors that just made me feel a
2:40
Speaker 1: little off this week. But I'm going into a better
2:43
Speaker 1: week this week with more of a positive mindset. We
2:45
Speaker 1: had our first beautiful day yesterday. It was twenty one
2:49
Speaker 1: degrees out and oh my goodness, guys, I could not
2:52
Speaker 1: be happier. I have not felt that warm weather here
2:56
Speaker 1: in Ottawa since I don't even know since last summer,
2:59
Speaker 1: so it felt really nice to have that beautiful weather outside.
3:03
Speaker 1: And I did challenge myself for the start of the
3:06
Speaker 1: week and one of my goals for the summer this year,
3:09
Speaker 1: which we're going to talk about, is walking more, and
3:13
Speaker 1: I've been wanting to reach fifteen thousand steps a day,
3:15
Speaker 1: which sounds crazy because usually I'm only hitting maybe eight
3:20
Speaker 1: to ten thousand steps a day, like sometimes not even
3:22
Speaker 1: ten thousand steps a day. Like I'm trying super hard,
3:25
Speaker 1: but I'm like, you know what, I feel like I
3:26
Speaker 1: need to go in with the plan. So I kind
3:28
Speaker 1: of created a plan for my walking day yesterday to
3:31
Speaker 1: hit fifteen thousand steps, and I measured out my daily
3:36
Speaker 1: walk route that I usually go on with Freddy, and
3:38
Speaker 1: I almost reach five thousand steps every single time when
3:41
Speaker 1: I do that route. So I'm like, Okay, if I
3:43
Speaker 1: do that three times a day, or if I break
3:45
Speaker 1: it up, like you know, an hour on the walking
3:47
Speaker 1: pad inside my house and then two walks one in
3:49
Speaker 1: the morning one in the evening, that is around five
3:52
Speaker 1: thousand steps, I should be able to hit fifteen thousand
3:54
Speaker 1: steps a day. So again, it's a new goal that
3:57
Speaker 1: I'm introducing into my routine. It's something that I'm trying
4:00
Speaker 1: to vlog for you guys. If you're the kind of
4:02
Speaker 1: person that wants to start tracking their steps or increase
4:05
Speaker 1: your walking and all that, it's a great vlog to
4:08
Speaker 1: kind of reference so I started blogging it and I
4:10
Speaker 1: posted my first blog on TikTok for that walking tracking situation.
4:16
Speaker 1: So if you guys want to join in, definitely make
4:17
Speaker 1: sure to follow me on TikTok. But as you can
4:19
Speaker 1: see in today's episode, we are really locking in for
4:23
Speaker 1: summer of twenty twenty five. I cannot believe that we
4:26
Speaker 1: are officially here again. I feel like every time I
4:29
Speaker 1: think of summer, I think of just positive vibes, positive mindset.
4:32
Speaker 1: I think of goals that we want to achieve ourselves.
4:35
Speaker 1: The ideal bucket list of just things that we want
4:37
Speaker 1: to do for the summer season, travel, day trips, fun
4:41
Speaker 1: things to do like getting outside, walking with friends, doing
4:44
Speaker 1: workout classes, going to coffee shops, going to farmers' markets.
4:47
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I can literally list one thousand amazing
4:50
Speaker 1: things that happen in the summer. And we're doing our
4:52
Speaker 1: backyard this year, so I know I have a lot
4:54
Speaker 1: of fun things planned for our backyard to do with
4:56
Speaker 1: friends and family. Also just decorating the backyard, it's going
4:59
Speaker 1: to be super fun. So just a lot of fun
5:02
Speaker 1: plans happening here. But let's talk about some May and
5:05
Speaker 1: summer goals and this could really help inspire you to
5:08
Speaker 1: create goals for yourself. I always recommend creating three to
5:11
Speaker 1: five goals a month or for a new season, just
5:14
Speaker 1: things that you want to do to create a healthier
5:16
Speaker 1: lifestyle for yourself. So the first goal that I recommend
5:20
Speaker 1: setting is a fun movement goal. So this could be walking,
5:23
Speaker 1: it could be running, it could be biking, it could
5:25
Speaker 1: be finding a workout class that you enjoy. As I said,
5:28
Speaker 1: my fun movement right now is aiming to walk fifteen
5:31
Speaker 1: thousand steps a day. What I'm really trying to do
5:33
Speaker 1: is just change up my routine by creating a consistent
5:35
Speaker 1: walking schedule. As I said, I want to walk in
5:38
Speaker 1: the morning, I want to walk in the evening, have
5:39
Speaker 1: a little break around noon to go outside or on
5:42
Speaker 1: my walking pad to get more steps in, and just
5:45
Speaker 1: really walking three times a day and hitting that overall goal,
5:48
Speaker 1: which is the fifteen thousand steps. Another thing that we
5:51
Speaker 1: really want to do this summer that I've actually brought
5:53
Speaker 1: up in the podcast a lot was figuring out a
5:55
Speaker 1: hobby to do with Zach on the weekends, and we
5:58
Speaker 1: really wanted to evolve, like moving our bodies. And there
6:01
Speaker 1: was two things that we honestly think we could be
6:03
Speaker 1: pretty consistent with on Saturday mornings or Sunday mornings, and
6:07
Speaker 1: that is going to play tennis or pick a ball
6:10
Speaker 1: at a court along with running. So running is something
6:14
Speaker 1: that I am very much into. I usually run every summer.
6:18
Speaker 1: I don't really run during the fall or winter season.
6:20
Speaker 1: It's just a preference. I don't really like to run
6:22
Speaker 1: in the colder weather. But now that summer is approaching,
6:25
Speaker 1: I do love running on the weekends and the trails
6:28
Speaker 1: and being outside. And Zach has a love slash hate
6:32
Speaker 1: relationship with cardio, but he knows that he should incorporate
6:35
Speaker 1: it into his workout routine. So when I brought Zach
6:38
Speaker 1: to his first spinco class around this time last year,
6:42
Speaker 1: he really loved it. I just don't think the atmosphere
6:44
Speaker 1: was really for him. It just was like not his vibe.
6:47
Speaker 1: Like he liked the sweat, he liked the cardio, but
6:50
Speaker 1: he didn't really like the atmosphere he was in, which
6:52
Speaker 1: is so fair. So I mentioned it to him a
6:55
Speaker 1: few weeks ago, I said, why don't we start running together, Like,
6:57
Speaker 1: invest in good running shoes. We can run with the
6:59
Speaker 1: dog in the trails. Do it once a week that way,
7:01
Speaker 1: you're getting your cardio session in, we're doing a workout together.
7:05
Speaker 1: It's something that we can look forward to every weekend.
7:07
Speaker 1: And maybe it's running to a coffee shop together. So
7:10
Speaker 1: that's just something that I've been really wanting to do
7:13
Speaker 1: with him, and I think it's a fun goal to
7:16
Speaker 1: do with your partner and it allows you to have
7:18
Speaker 1: a fun little movement in for your weekend. And again,
7:22
Speaker 1: going to a coffee shop is something fun to do.
7:24
Speaker 1: It's treating yourself. So all in all, it just sounds
7:26
Speaker 1: like a fun little thing to do on the weekend
7:28
Speaker 1: that allows us to look forward to doing. Another goal
7:32
Speaker 1: that I'm personally working on for the summer season along
7:35
Speaker 1: with going into May is detoxing. So I talked a
7:38
Speaker 1: bit about going to Oxygen and that is a infrared
7:42
Speaker 1: sauna room. So they have infred saunas and they do
7:45
Speaker 1: heated workout classes and I would consider it a hot
7:49
Speaker 1: Matt Pilates essentially, And they're all different classes. Some are
7:53
Speaker 1: more of like fitness related, some are more like Matt
7:55
Speaker 1: Pilates related. It just really depends on the class that
7:58
Speaker 1: you pick. And I've been very very into it and
8:01
Speaker 1: I think what I love most about it is that
8:03
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm just sweating the shit out of
8:06
Speaker 1: my body, and I literally feel so good after having
8:10
Speaker 1: a class because I just feel like the heat that
8:12
Speaker 1: you're experiencing in the room and just moving your body
8:16
Speaker 1: in it is a feeling that I can't even describe.
8:19
Speaker 1: It's so good for your body, it's so good for
8:21
Speaker 1: your skin, and just overall, I feel like it's been
8:24
Speaker 1: such a great workout to do once or twice a week,
8:26
Speaker 1: So I definitely feel like a whole new person really
8:29
Speaker 1: incorporating that into my routine, and it's been a very
8:31
Speaker 1: nice change. But I just love the fact that it
8:36
Speaker 1: has the infrared because I think that's something that I've
8:38
Speaker 1: been missing and I've been wanting to include into my routine.
8:41
Speaker 1: I've talked about it multiple times that I've wanted to
8:43
Speaker 1: get asana here in the house, and I know one
8:45
Speaker 1: day it will happen in the next house, but for now,
8:48
Speaker 1: I do feel like oxygen is my go to spot
8:50
Speaker 1: when it comes to just getting really good heated workouts
8:53
Speaker 1: and getting that infrared benefit. Other ways that I plan
8:57
Speaker 1: to detox for the summer is really get back into juice.
9:00
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm always making like juices, more so
9:02
Speaker 1: in the summer and less in the winter. I don't
9:04
Speaker 1: know why, I just I feel like there's just like
9:07
Speaker 1: this motivation of becoming the healthier version of myself in
9:10
Speaker 1: the summer versus like the winter season. So I have
9:14
Speaker 1: definitely been wanting to incorporate juices again by making fresh
9:17
Speaker 1: juices with ginger, turmeric, peppermint. You know, all the benefits
9:22
Speaker 1: those things are really great when it comes to detoxing,
9:24
Speaker 1: Like ginger and tumeric shots are so so great for
9:27
Speaker 1: your overall immune system. And then you know, getting some
9:30
Speaker 1: celery and spinach and other grains in again really benefits
9:33
Speaker 1: your skin and just your inflammatory system. And yeah, another
9:37
Speaker 1: thing is teas. You guys know, I'm a big tea drinker,
9:40
Speaker 1: so having a tea in the morning and tea at night.
9:42
Speaker 1: So I really love having dandylion and peppermint teas, which
9:46
Speaker 1: are again really great for your immune system and skin.
9:49
Speaker 1: Another thing that you could cut down to help with
9:51
Speaker 1: detoxing is cutting out alcohol, which I've talked a lot
9:55
Speaker 1: about cutting out alcohol on here. I definitely don't drink
9:58
Speaker 1: as much as I used to. I feel like every
10:00
Speaker 1: year there's less and less alcohol that I'm drinking, which
10:03
Speaker 1: I'm so proud of myself for doing, because alcohol is
10:06
Speaker 1: not for everyone, and I think that's okay, and I
10:08
Speaker 1: think eventually, as you get older, you realize if it's
10:11
Speaker 1: for you or not. And to be honest, I know
10:14
Speaker 1: it's not something that I fully want to cut out
10:16
Speaker 1: because I do enjoy the odd glass of wine or
10:19
Speaker 1: apparel sprits. But I am that kind of person where
10:22
Speaker 1: I'm going to probably only have one to two drinks
10:24
Speaker 1: at an outing and will most definitely be able to
10:26
Speaker 1: drive after because I want to be able to wake
10:29
Speaker 1: up every single morning and not feel like shit the
10:31
Speaker 1: next day. So that's kind of like my mindset when
10:33
Speaker 1: it comes to drinking. So having an apparall or two
10:36
Speaker 1: or a glass of wine or two doesn't affect me
10:39
Speaker 1: the next day, and that's all that matters. So anyways,
10:42
Speaker 1: cutting out on alcohol or any processed foods or any
10:45
Speaker 1: sugars will really help detox your body. Something else that
10:48
Speaker 1: I've been wanting to get into that my mother has
10:51
Speaker 1: been telling me to do four years. She's like, you
10:53
Speaker 1: need to start doing this, there's such amazing benefits to it.
10:56
Speaker 1: And that's dry brushing and lymphatic massages. You can get
11:00
Speaker 1: a dry brush for like five dollars from Amazon or
11:03
Speaker 1: five dollars from Walmart, and it increases your blood circulation,
11:06
Speaker 1: it effoliates your skin, and it's supposed to just help
11:08
Speaker 1: remove any toxins and waste. And honestly, it's just the
11:12
Speaker 1: routine I think that you know, you have to stick
11:15
Speaker 1: to in the morning and night. It's just something else
11:17
Speaker 1: to add to it. And of course, like these routines
11:20
Speaker 1: could get so long, Like let's be honest, there's people
11:22
Speaker 1: that are doing like four to five hour routines in
11:25
Speaker 1: their morning to make sure they hit everything, and like
11:27
Speaker 1: that's amazing. And you know, I'm a victim to that,
11:30
Speaker 1: where I have a long routine and I know that,
11:32
Speaker 1: but these little things sometimes it does add up. And
11:34
Speaker 1: it's like at the end of the day, you do
11:35
Speaker 1: have a job and you do have to get shit done.
11:37
Speaker 1: But it's all about trying to find ways to incorporate
11:40
Speaker 1: these things into your routine. And as I said, it
11:42
Speaker 1: really does help with circulation. And I think that's the
11:44
Speaker 1: big one in my opinion, is just really just dry
11:47
Speaker 1: brushing my whole body and getting everything circulated properly. So anyways,
11:51
Speaker 1: if you're not doing it, definitely look into it. That's
11:53
Speaker 1: something that I'm currently looking into and wanting to try.
11:56
Speaker 1: The lengthatic massage. I've never actually got a lengthatic rainage
12:00
Speaker 1: done professionally, But something that I actually purchase that I
12:03
Speaker 1: do like once or twice a week is I use
12:06
Speaker 1: a Guasha that's essentially the size of like my arm.
12:11
Speaker 1: It's pretty long and it's meant for your body. So
12:14
Speaker 1: I research techniques on YouTube on how to kind of
12:18
Speaker 1: help with any bloating all over your body when it
12:20
Speaker 1: comes to your legs, your waist, your arms, anyways, it
12:25
Speaker 1: just overall really helps with any bloating and I feel like,
12:27
Speaker 1: obviously as females, we go through periods of time where
12:30
Speaker 1: we bloat, and I find putting oil all over my
12:33
Speaker 1: body while using this Guasha tool really helps just like
12:37
Speaker 1: massage the skin deep bloat and yeah, just something that
12:40
Speaker 1: I love to do. The last goal for me for
12:43
Speaker 1: the summer season is I've been lacking my water intake.
12:46
Speaker 1: I don't know what it is. Maybe it's just because
12:48
Speaker 1: I'm in a period of time where I'm sick and
12:50
Speaker 1: tired of the taste of water. I have no idea
12:52
Speaker 1: I'm trying to do so much better at this, but
12:55
Speaker 1: waste to improve drinking water can obviously be you know,
12:58
Speaker 1: getting a new water bottle. There's always motivation when you
13:01
Speaker 1: purchase a new water bottle or just set an intention
13:04
Speaker 1: of how much water you actually want to drink a day.
13:07
Speaker 1: So right now, my intention with my current water bottle
13:10
Speaker 1: is to drink two of these water bottles a day.
13:12
Speaker 1: My water bottle, I think is thirty two ounces, so
13:15
Speaker 1: it's around sixty four ounces of water a day, which
13:18
Speaker 1: I think is probably pretty good. I'm not one hundred
13:21
Speaker 1: percent sure in terms of like how much water you
13:22
Speaker 1: should be drinking a day. Some doctors would say that
13:25
Speaker 1: it's based off your weight, and you shouldn't just base
13:28
Speaker 1: it off of someone else's from what I've been told,
13:31
Speaker 1: but you could do your own research and just kind
13:33
Speaker 1: of see what would be beneficial for yourself. But I
13:36
Speaker 1: have about sixty four ounces of water right now. I'm
13:39
Speaker 1: trying to set that intention for this month specifically because
13:43
Speaker 1: as I said, I've been sucking at it lately and
13:45
Speaker 1: I'm hoping that I can achieve that. But something else
13:47
Speaker 1: I've been doing to try and stay hydrated is adding electrolytes,
13:51
Speaker 1: which you can get at Amazon, you can get at Walmart.
13:53
Speaker 1: I mean, so many brands are doing it now. But
13:56
Speaker 1: what's great about it is that it has a nice
13:58
Speaker 1: flavor to it. So if you're like me where you're
14:00
Speaker 1: kind of picky on drinking water and you know you
14:03
Speaker 1: might get annoyed of it over time, the electrolytes are
14:06
Speaker 1: a great option to resort to. And I love how
14:09
Speaker 1: it just makes my water taste a little bit better
14:12
Speaker 1: and a little bit sweeter. And yeah, it's just important
14:15
Speaker 1: to do it, especially because we're going into a warm
14:17
Speaker 1: season and it gets so hot we do not need
14:19
Speaker 1: to get dehydrated. So it's definitely a goal of mine
14:21
Speaker 1: for the summer season. If you can hear the thunder
14:24
Speaker 1: in the background, I'm sorry, as I said, the weather
14:26
Speaker 1: has been so hit and missed these past few weeks
14:30
Speaker 1: with the spring season, so ignore that if you hear
14:32
Speaker 1: the thunder. One goal that I actually missed that I
14:35
Speaker 1: wanted to talk about is for the summer, I'm really
14:37
Speaker 1: trying to wear less and less makeup. I've been trying
14:41
Speaker 1: to resort to spfs and tinted moisturizers versus wearing foundation
14:46
Speaker 1: every day. And I feel like that's been a huge
14:48
Speaker 1: game changer. So finding tinted spfs or tinted moisturizers, as
14:52
Speaker 1: I said, really just allows your skin to breathe, because
14:56
Speaker 1: you know, obviously, wearing heavy makeup on your face can
14:59
Speaker 1: create just like issues with your skin, and if you're
15:02
Speaker 1: someone like me that has sensitive skin, I do find them.
15:04
Speaker 1: When I wear makeup every single day, my skin feels heavy.
15:08
Speaker 1: I feel like I break out a bit more when
15:09
Speaker 1: I'm you know, not really letting the skin breathe. So
15:12
Speaker 1: I now only use foundation when I'm actually going out
15:16
Speaker 1: for dinner or you know, I'm wanting to take nice
15:18
Speaker 1: pictures or whatever the case may be. So I've been
15:21
Speaker 1: really just trying to focus on skin care products that
15:23
Speaker 1: really give that like glowy natural summer bronze look. And
15:28
Speaker 1: another thing I've been starting to do is double cleanse
15:30
Speaker 1: along with exfoliating my skin, So that just really helps
15:34
Speaker 1: with prolonging tans, Especially when it comes to exfoliating. I
15:38
Speaker 1: do find my tan lasts longer when I actually take
15:42
Speaker 1: care of my body and my face when it comes
15:44
Speaker 1: to tanning. So now that we're getting into the tanning season,
15:48
Speaker 1: oh my god, guys, I'm so excited to have a
15:50
Speaker 1: tan again. I lost my tan from Mexico and I'm
15:52
Speaker 1: just like in desperate need of, you know, getting a tan,
15:56
Speaker 1: whether it's going to get a spray tan or something.
15:58
Speaker 1: But I'm trying not to get a spray tank because
15:59
Speaker 1: I you know, I'm like two weeks away from being
16:02
Speaker 1: able to lie outside and just get a natural tan,
16:04
Speaker 1: and natural tans are the best. So yeah, ways to
16:08
Speaker 1: prolong your tan is exfoliating, moisturizing your body at all
16:12
Speaker 1: times because obviously when you get dry skin, it's going
16:15
Speaker 1: to flake off and then your tan's not going to
16:17
Speaker 1: be as noticeable. So anyways, just really trying to prioritize
16:20
Speaker 1: the no makeup makeup along with just bodycare in general.
16:24
Speaker 1: All right, now, let's talk about changing your mindset, because
16:28
Speaker 1: we all know that we want to shift our mindset
16:30
Speaker 1: from the spring season mindset where you might be like me,
16:34
Speaker 1: where I just feel like I've been a little off
16:36
Speaker 1: because the weather's been off, a little anxious all that.
16:39
Speaker 1: I want to shift my mindset to more of the
16:41
Speaker 1: positive mindset for the summer season. I don't want any
16:44
Speaker 1: more seasonal blues. I want to completely just be positive.
16:47
Speaker 1: This entire summer and things that we're going to do
16:51
Speaker 1: to create that positive mindset for the summer season is
16:54
Speaker 1: we're going to set a summer intention. So what is
16:57
Speaker 1: your overall main goal for the summer season. And an
17:00
Speaker 1: example of this could be I intend to be more
17:02
Speaker 1: present in my daily life. I intend to listen to
17:06
Speaker 1: my body's needs. So set an intention of what you
17:09
Speaker 1: want for the summer season and just overall give yourself
17:13
Speaker 1: that positive mindset. So for me personally, it is being
17:16
Speaker 1: more present in my daily life, so really being able
17:19
Speaker 1: to you know, put my phone aside after four pm
17:22
Speaker 1: and completely live in the moment. We only have like
17:24
Speaker 1: four to five months of nice weather where I live,
17:27
Speaker 1: So for me, I really want to be able to
17:30
Speaker 1: enjoy getting out of the house. Whether it's going to
17:33
Speaker 1: see friends in a backyard and you know, having a
17:35
Speaker 1: drink or two, buy a fire pit, or you know
17:38
Speaker 1: going for a walk outside with Zach and Freddie and
17:41
Speaker 1: just enjoy the nice weather, talking with each other, catching up.
17:44
Speaker 1: Or it's finding a hobby that you could do in
17:46
Speaker 1: the summer, like as I said, going to play pickleball, tennis,
17:49
Speaker 1: playing sports like soccer, Like there's so many things that
17:52
Speaker 1: you could do to get yourself outside, And I think
17:55
Speaker 1: my intention for the summer is really just being present
17:59
Speaker 1: and enjoying the beautiful weather that we're about to have
18:02
Speaker 1: for the short period of time that we do and
18:05
Speaker 1: really just set time aside from you know, not going
18:07
Speaker 1: on social media and just really be present in my
18:10
Speaker 1: daily life. Another thing you can do to change your
18:13
Speaker 1: mindset is create a summer persona. What do you want
18:16
Speaker 1: to be this summer? Do you want to be a
18:18
Speaker 1: pilates princess? Do you want to be a night owl?
18:21
Speaker 1: Or do you want to become a morning person? Right?
18:24
Speaker 1: The person that you want to become for the summer season.
18:28
Speaker 1: This allows you to shift your mindset and be more
18:30
Speaker 1: motivated to achieve these goals. And again, we're all about
18:33
Speaker 1: becoming the best version of ourselves, so finding ways to
18:35
Speaker 1: motivate ourself and having an end goal is super important.
18:39
Speaker 1: So I guess for me right now, I would consider
18:42
Speaker 1: my persona to be the Hawkirl Walker because I'm really
18:46
Speaker 1: just trying to achieve those fifteen thousand steps a day
18:49
Speaker 1: and I'm really just trying to prioritize a walking schedule
18:52
Speaker 1: into my routine. So you know, last year I would
18:55
Speaker 1: say it was becoming a pilates princess because reformer pilates
18:58
Speaker 1: was something that was completely new to me at this
19:00
Speaker 1: time last year, and I was really trying to encourage
19:03
Speaker 1: myself to try something different, and now I love it.
19:07
Speaker 1: I do it literally almost every single day. I do
19:09
Speaker 1: it like four times a week, four to five times
19:11
Speaker 1: a week, and it's one of the best things that
19:13
Speaker 1: I ever invested in, and I love doing it so much.
19:16
Speaker 1: So this year for me is really just becoming a
19:19
Speaker 1: Hawk Girl walker and making that my whole summer persona,
19:22
Speaker 1: and it's just motivating myself to get outside more, which
19:24
Speaker 1: again kind of goes back to my intention, which is
19:27
Speaker 1: really being present in my daily life and getting outside
19:30
Speaker 1: more and all that. So I really feel like those
19:32
Speaker 1: two goals are kind of related. So if you can
19:35
Speaker 1: make your intention in your summer persona something similar to
19:39
Speaker 1: each other, that would be ideal. This one I always
19:43
Speaker 1: think is important to do when it comes to any season, because,
19:46
Speaker 1: let's face it, we're all about creating a positive atmosphere
19:50
Speaker 1: a positive mindset again when it comes to these things,
19:52
Speaker 1: but romanticizing the little things in your life. Think of
19:55
Speaker 1: things that just bring you joy in the summer and
19:58
Speaker 1: romanticize the shit out of it. So, you know, if
20:01
Speaker 1: juicing is something that you love to do in the mornings,
20:04
Speaker 1: romanticize it. If it's drinking lemon water, if it's going
20:07
Speaker 1: to have a picnic on the beach, or you know,
20:10
Speaker 1: watching the sunset, spending time with your husband outside, and
20:14
Speaker 1: it could be so many things. I think these are
20:17
Speaker 1: all things that we look forward to doing, and I
20:20
Speaker 1: think some people just you know, write these things down thinking, Okay, yeah,
20:23
Speaker 1: this is what I'm going to do this summer, but
20:24
Speaker 1: you don't have the drive to actually do it, Like
20:27
Speaker 1: you don't have the time or energy or whatever the
20:29
Speaker 1: case may be. You need to find that motivation and
20:31
Speaker 1: drive to allow these things to happen. Like, how are
20:34
Speaker 1: you going to make these things happen? Okay, you know,
20:37
Speaker 1: we're going to make every Thursday night our date night
20:40
Speaker 1: with you know, your husband. Okay, every Thursday night, we're
20:43
Speaker 1: going to do something different this summer, whether it's going
20:45
Speaker 1: to get ice cream, whether it's going to watch the
20:47
Speaker 1: sunset at the beach. Like, maybe dedicate a day where
20:50
Speaker 1: you could actually achieve these little things and be able
20:52
Speaker 1: to romanticize these little things. One thing for me. I
20:55
Speaker 1: really want to try and prioritize is spending time with
20:57
Speaker 1: my girlfriends, because I feel like a lot of us
21:00
Speaker 1: kind of hibernated this winter season and I haven't really
21:02
Speaker 1: had many girl nights for a period of time. So
21:05
Speaker 1: I'm like, it'd be really nice to have like a
21:07
Speaker 1: night in the summer where we go do things together,
21:10
Speaker 1: whether it's golfing or you know, as I said, like
21:12
Speaker 1: getting together, having a little wine night in the backyard,
21:16
Speaker 1: just catching up. I think just prioritizing your friendships is crucial.
21:20
Speaker 1: So being able to like maybe do some fun things
21:22
Speaker 1: together and dedicate a day to do those things together
21:26
Speaker 1: is super important. Another thing when it comes to changing
21:29
Speaker 1: your mindset is really just focusing on moving your body
21:33
Speaker 1: consistently but in a fun way, because you want to
21:36
Speaker 1: look forward to your workouts. You don't want to have
21:38
Speaker 1: to dread it. I've mentioned it so many times, but
21:41
Speaker 1: I am not a gym Gurley. I have no interest
21:44
Speaker 1: in going to you know, a Good Life or a
21:46
Speaker 1: Mabody or you know, an Equinox, whatever the case may be.
21:49
Speaker 1: I don't want to go lift weights and not have
21:53
Speaker 1: someone walking me through a class and like fully doing it. Myself.
21:56
Speaker 1: I personally don't find I have like I do, you
22:00
Speaker 1: have the motivation when it comes to working out by myself,
22:02
Speaker 1: but I don't have the focus. Like I get distracted
22:05
Speaker 1: very easily. I do have ADHD. I don't know if
22:08
Speaker 1: I've mentioned that year or not. So I do get
22:10
Speaker 1: distracted very easily. When I'm in a workout class, I
22:13
Speaker 1: am locked in. The instructor is completely doing the workout
22:17
Speaker 1: class for the entire hour, and I'm completely locked in
22:19
Speaker 1: for that entire hour. If I was going to run
22:21
Speaker 1: my own workout by going to the gym and using
22:23
Speaker 1: the weights, I know for a fact that every ten
22:26
Speaker 1: to fifteen minutes, I would gravitate towards my phone. I
22:28
Speaker 1: would look at my phone, maybe look at you know,
22:30
Speaker 1: social media for like ten minutes, oh, then put it back, oh,
22:33
Speaker 1: and then focus for another ten to fifteen minutes, and
22:35
Speaker 1: then oh, get distracted again. Like I just can't focus
22:39
Speaker 1: when I'm in a gym. And I also just don't
22:42
Speaker 1: love lifting heavy weights, and that's just a personal preference.
22:45
Speaker 1: I'm more of a low impact kind of girl. So
22:48
Speaker 1: figure out a movement that you truly love and will
22:51
Speaker 1: get your body moving, Because as I said, you want
22:54
Speaker 1: to love what you do, because if you don't love
22:57
Speaker 1: what you're doing currently for a workout, you're not going
22:59
Speaker 1: to be system with it and you're not gonna look
23:02
Speaker 1: forward to it. You want to be able to say
23:03
Speaker 1: that you get to work out versus I have to
23:06
Speaker 1: work out because you love doing that movement. You love
23:10
Speaker 1: getting that workout in. I wake up every single morning
23:12
Speaker 1: and I actually look forward to my plates class because
23:15
Speaker 1: I personally love the workout. I also love the friends
23:18
Speaker 1: that I've made through the workout class. It's something that
23:20
Speaker 1: I look forward to literally every single day because I
23:23
Speaker 1: get the benefit of socializing with people who I adore
23:26
Speaker 1: along with getting a workout in that I love. So
23:30
Speaker 1: there's two pros to that, right, So finding a movement
23:32
Speaker 1: that you enjoy, I think is really going to create
23:34
Speaker 1: that positive mindset for yourself, as well as eating healthy foods.
23:40
Speaker 1: Right now, I feel like I've finally been in a
23:41
Speaker 1: groove of looking forward to meals because I think I
23:44
Speaker 1: was just eating the same way for such a long
23:46
Speaker 1: period of time that I felt like I was getting
23:48
Speaker 1: sick and tired of eating the same things. And I
23:51
Speaker 1: feel like we finally have changed up our recipes and
23:54
Speaker 1: I'm actually going to be starting a series starting Thursday
23:58
Speaker 1: of healthy recipes for the summer season, so make sure
24:01
Speaker 1: to follow me on TikTok and Instagram if you guys
24:03
Speaker 1: want to see that. But I've finally been trying new
24:05
Speaker 1: recipes out, and Zak and I have been obsessed with
24:08
Speaker 1: these new recipes, and I think that's what creates the excitement,
24:12
Speaker 1: is trying new healthy go to meals. That allows you
24:15
Speaker 1: to look forward to trying something new as well as
24:19
Speaker 1: something that you might really enjoy. One thing I always
24:21
Speaker 1: recommend when you're a picky eater is if you love pizza.
24:26
Speaker 1: Let's just say that for an example, and we both
24:29
Speaker 1: note that. You know, if you order a pizza from Pizza, Pizza, Dominoes, whatever, like,
24:33
Speaker 1: it's completely unhealthy. There's no nutritional benefits to it at all.
24:37
Speaker 1: But I think what's great is you can definitely find
24:40
Speaker 1: ways to create a healthier version of pizza. So for
24:44
Speaker 1: me personally, I make something at home called a pa
24:47
Speaker 1: pizza where I essentially just take a whole week pea bread.
24:51
Speaker 1: It's got very natural ingredients in it, and then I
24:53
Speaker 1: add toppings that you would on a pizza that are
24:56
Speaker 1: more healthier alternatives. So instead of adding pepperoni or you know,
25:00
Speaker 1: processed meats, I add a chicken breast, so I'll rip
25:02
Speaker 1: up chicken. I'll add you know, peppers, onion, add some
25:06
Speaker 1: tomato sauce, put a little bit of cheese on top,
25:09
Speaker 1: and there's a healthier version of something unhealthy. There's also
25:13
Speaker 1: a lot of great recipes on TikTok that talk about,
25:16
Speaker 1: you know, a healthier version of a burger. So you
25:18
Speaker 1: have the sweet potato burgers, you have the burger bowls. Like,
25:21
Speaker 1: there's so many ways to find substitutions of things that
25:25
Speaker 1: you enjoy and creating it into a healthier way by
25:28
Speaker 1: creating healthy recipes, so you can still have all of
25:31
Speaker 1: your favorite meals, but just finding ways to eat it
25:33
Speaker 1: in a healthier way. So that's sometimes what we do.
25:36
Speaker 1: Like I love eating those things, and I find it's
25:38
Speaker 1: easy to make and it's something I look forward to.
25:41
Speaker 1: But I also think it's good to you know, switch
25:43
Speaker 1: up your dinner rotation by trying new recipes and be
25:46
Speaker 1: able to look forward to trying those new things as well.
25:49
Speaker 1: The last thing that I would recommend when it comes
25:51
Speaker 1: to just having more of a positive mindset for the
25:54
Speaker 1: summer season is create plans that you're going to look
25:57
Speaker 1: forward to. So plan tiny adventures or maybe bit trips
26:00
Speaker 1: that you've been wanting to do. Sometimes it doesn't have
26:03
Speaker 1: to be big, but sometimes it can be big if
26:04
Speaker 1: you want it to be. Sometimes you could just be small,
26:07
Speaker 1: like you know, going on one day road trips, going camping,
26:10
Speaker 1: you know, going to visit your favorite coffee shop every weekend,
26:13
Speaker 1: going to farmers' markets, cottages on the weekend with a friend,
26:17
Speaker 1: you know, spending nights going to the beach watching the
26:19
Speaker 1: sunrise or sunset. It could be as little as that,
26:22
Speaker 1: or it could be as big as you know, planning
26:24
Speaker 1: the trip that you've been talking about for so long,
26:27
Speaker 1: like going to Europe for two weeks, or you know,
26:29
Speaker 1: maybe it's Hawaii, like doing those things are so important
26:33
Speaker 1: because it allows you to have a big goal for
26:35
Speaker 1: this summer where you want to work towards and do.
26:38
Speaker 1: Or it could be these small little things that you've
26:39
Speaker 1: been wanting to do for the summer season that allows
26:42
Speaker 1: you to achieve them. So definitely make sure to plan
26:45
Speaker 1: out some things that you're going to look forward to
26:47
Speaker 1: this summer. It could be as small as that, or
26:49
Speaker 1: it could be as big as what I said. When
26:50
Speaker 1: it comes to booking a big trip, I know, one
26:53
Speaker 1: thing that I'm really looking forward to is, you know,
26:55
Speaker 1: having some summer date nights with Zach, going to the beach,
26:58
Speaker 1: eating pizza together, or you know hitting up some patios,
27:01
Speaker 1: enjoying the nice weather, having an apparel sprits or Hugo
27:05
Speaker 1: sprits because those are usually my favorite. And yeah, it
27:08
Speaker 1: just allows you to look forward to something. And again,
27:12
Speaker 1: with the summer season being so short, you really want
27:15
Speaker 1: to take advantage of really enjoying the nice weather in
27:18
Speaker 1: these little moments that you cherish forever. So anyways, just
27:22
Speaker 1: planning those tiny adventures and those trips are always something
27:26
Speaker 1: that you're going to look back at and you're going
27:28
Speaker 1: to realize how important those little moments are, and again
27:32
Speaker 1: creates that positive mindset of you looking forward to that
27:35
Speaker 1: one special moment or adventure. So those are things that
27:38
Speaker 1: I would recommend when it comes to really shifting your
27:41
Speaker 1: mindset for the summer season. And I feel like going
27:43
Speaker 1: into May is one of the best months of the
27:46
Speaker 1: summer season because it's officially the first month of the
27:49
Speaker 1: summer season. I think everyone is just excited to finally
27:52
Speaker 1: get out of their house, enjoy the warm weather, enjoy
27:55
Speaker 1: being outdoors, start planning their summer, you know, adventures, things
28:00
Speaker 1: that they want to do, think that they want to
28:01
Speaker 1: achieve for theirself, all that. So I feel like May's
28:04
Speaker 1: honestly like one of the most special months and there's
28:06
Speaker 1: so much to look forward to in May, and I
28:09
Speaker 1: know I'm looking forward to a very exciting month ahead.
28:12
Speaker 1: But I hope you guys enjoyed this episode. I really
28:15
Speaker 1: enjoyed recording last week's episode with my sister, and I

Speaker 1: love for you guys to maybe even submit situations that
