Good Morning HCI and Happy New Year! I am so excited for what 2017 has in store for all of us!!<\/strong>
\nMy mornings always start with a cuddle session with my two main squeezes, my partner Graham and our fur baby, Osa. We use this time to express gratitude for all of the good that we have in our lives! Gratitude creates a vibrational shift in our reality and so I am to express as much of it as I can. I\u2019ve got an incredible family and home filled with so much love, and these two are at the center of it!\u00a0#dayinthehcilife<\/a><\/p>\n

I cherish my morning routines. They always consist of some warm frothy beverage \u2014 right now a Fatty Mocha Maca Latte \u2014 and then quiet time for journaling and reading. I use this time to set my intentions, visualize my goals and generally do what I call mindset work. For me, it\u2019s all about cultivating the success mindset I need to keep my business moving forward in a way that feels positive and aligned with my higher purpose! A morning routine like this is an absolute must for, not only my personal life but, my entrepreneurial journey as well.<\/p>\n

Meditation is a practice that I\u2019ve done sporadically over the years. But this year, I\u2019m determined to make it a habit that sticks! I\u2019ve got an app, that I love, that is packed with tons of meditations. Right now I\u2019m doing a 30 day meditation program, where each day\u2019s time increases by 1 minute. The best part is, I\u2019ve created a beautiful meditation space\/altar for myself in a corner of my office, and I absolutely love sitting here for reflection and me time, which makes the whole meditation habit that much easier!\u00a0#dayinthehcilife<\/a>#sparkthechange<\/a><\/p>\n

After I move through my morning \u201cme time\u201d I transition to my desk where I begin my day! I\u2019ve decided that I\u2019m not calling coaching\/biz development \u201cwork\u201d anymore \u2014 because I freaking LOVE what I do. So instead I\u2019m choosing to view it as play and my soul purpose! I get to choose how my day looks\u2013 sometimes I\u2019m on the phone with clients and connecting with other entrepreneurs, sometimes I spend my time on marketing strategy, or all day learning something new that I can use to grow my business and expand my soul purpose! Either way, it\u2019s fun! Of course, while all of this is happening I\u2019m fueling my body + mind + spirit with good stuff like this green smoothie!\u00a0#dayinthehcilife<\/a>#sparkthechange<\/a><\/p>\n

Lately, I\u2019ve been taking a break in the middle of the afternoon to do some movement, usually Yoga or a HIIT workout. I find that my body craves this break, and it really helps me to move stuck energy through the body and re-energize myself for the rest of my day!\u00a0#dayinthehcilife<\/a>\u00a0#sparkthechange<\/a><\/p>\n

Lunch is always a big meal in my house, usually bigger than dinner. I find that I feel best when I have a big meal in the middle of the day, instead of in the evening closer to bedtime. We often batch cook things like veggies, grass-fed beef, and ancient grains ahead of time. This allows me (or my partner) to create quick, health-focused meals in the middle of the day! It\u2019s all about keeping things simple.\u00a0#dayinthehcilife<\/a>#sparkthechange<\/a><\/p>\n

Another big intention for 2017 is to get outside more and ground myself to the earth! And lucky for me, I\u2019ve got two awesome companions to join me on afternoon walks around the nursery where we live. Even in the cold Pennsylvania winters, it feels so good to get outside! The fresh air invigorates and inspires me to keep growing and expanding!\u00a0#dayinthehcilife<\/a><\/p>\n

I usually end my days back in my \u201coffice\u201d sanctuary, never alone! I spend some time picking up any loose ends from the day, or working on projects that I did not get to. Growing my business is one of my main priorities right now, and most days I\u2019m excited and willing to get things done. But one of the biggest lessons that I\u2019ve learned over this past year, is that we have to honor and respect the ebb and flow of life. Right now I\u2019m fired up and working late nights. But I\u2019ve got the flexibility to recognize when I might need to get to sleep earlier, or just relax.<\/p>\n

Thanks for following a day in my life!\u00a0#dayinthehcilife<\/a><\/p>\n

We often batch cook things like veggies, grass-fed beef, and ancient grains ahead of time. This allows me (or my partner) to create quick, health-focused meals in the middle of the day! It\u2019s all about keeping things simple.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/explore\/tags\/dayinthehcilife\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">#dayinthehcilife<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/explore\/tags\/sparkthechange\/\">#sparkthechange<\/a>\n\nAnother big intention for 2017 is to get outside more and ground myself to the earth! And lucky for me, I\u2019ve got two awesome companions to join me on afternoon walks around the nursery where we live. Even in the cold Pennsylvania winters, it feels so good to get outside! The fresh air invigorates and inspires me to keep growing and expanding!\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/explore\/tags\/dayinthehcilife\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">#dayinthehcilife<\/a>\n\nI usually end my days back in my \u201coffice\u201d sanctuary, never alone! I spend some time picking up any loose ends from the day, or working on projects that I did not get to. Growing my business is one of my main priorities right now, and most days I\u2019m excited and willing to get things done. But one of the biggest lessons that I\u2019ve learned over this past year, is that we have to honor and respect the ebb and flow of life. Right now I\u2019m fired up and working late nights. But I\u2019ve got the flexibility to recognize when I might need to get to sleep earlier, or just relax.\n\nThanks for following a day in my life!\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/explore\/tags\/dayinthehcilife\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">#dayinthehcilife<\/a>\n\nWant to know how you too can live the life of a\u00a0<span id=\"urn:text-annotation-f4af3655-5a1b-42ee-adcb-454764c8f928\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-other wl-link\" itemid=\"http:\/\/what-is.healthcoachinstitute.com\/hci\/enhancedcategory\/health_coach\">Health Coach<\/span>?
