Looking for tips on easy healthy lifestyle habits you can add into your busy schedule? Check out these tips plus the one supplement that you need to be taking for more energy. | Healthy Living | Healthy Living Tips | Healthy Lifestyle | Healthy Living Habits |

It is the beginning of March and I am starting to revisit my resolutions this year. To see all the goals that I made for myself check them out HERE. One of my New Year’s goals was to lead an overall healthier lifestyle by adopting several healthy lifestyle habits. As a busy mom this can be a struggle at times. So what is a healthy lifestyle? To me it means trying to eat better, lose some stubborn left over baby weight and take more vitamins to make my inner body as healthy as my outside.

Here are a few ways to live a healthy lifestyle for the busy mom. Even if your not a mom, these healthy tips will work for you too!

This is a sponsored post by MitoQ, however, all opinions are my own. You can find my full disclosures HERE.

Get enough sleep

 I know this is way easier said then done (especially if you have small kids), but getting enough sleep is important to live a healthy lifestyle. If you are struggling to get enough sleep here are some TIPS on how to sleep better at night.

Drink plenty of water

Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate. It is so important to drink plenty of fluids to be and feel healthy. Here are many BENEFITS of keeping that body hydrated.

Get outside

Whether it is getting outside for a short walk in the evening or on your lunch break, get outside for at least a little bit each day. Sunshine is good for the mind, body and soul and so is physical activity.

Get a little “me” time daily

I know when you live a busy life it is extremely heard to get a little time to yourself. However, taking even 5-10 minutes to do something in a day that you enjoy will boost your mood overall. For me, it is a little burst of yoga/gentle stretching at night or a quick workout session in the morning before work.Read a book, catch up

Eat your veggies

Healthy eating should be on everyone’s list for living a healthier lifestyle. Veggies, fruits, protein and whole grains are a great way to do this. If you need anymore tips on how to eat healthy, even when you may not want to, check out these TIPS on how to eat healthier.

Take MitoQ

MitoQ works at the cellular level to make you feel more energized. Our cells are filled with little powerhouses called mitochondria. These mitochondria work every second of every day to give the energy are cells need. Mitochondria also work by producing the cell’s very own antioxidant called CoQ10 that helps fight off the free radicals. As you get older and your cells get more and more exposed to free radicals, your mitochondria start to become tired from working hard to produce the CoQ10 needed.

This is where MitoQ can help! First off MitoQ is the first mitochondria-targeted CoQ10. Not only is is attracted to the tired mitochondria but it can pass through the membrane helping out tired mitochondria (and therefor cells) become more rejuvenated and refreshed. And when your cells feel refreshed and more energized, so do you! I love adding MitoQ into my healthy lifestyle in order to promote a better overall sense of wellness in my daily life.

    These are all great habits to have. Drinking water is a habit I’ve had for several years. I need to work more on getting enough sleep. I try to take a few minutes to myself by using the Shine app or by keeping up with my gratitude/manifestation journal.

I’ve been feeling really overwhelmed and disconn I’ve been feeling really overwhelmed and disconnected lately. From my kids and from my husband. It’s made me feel like a terrible mom and partner. 
This pregnancy has been so hard on my body and mind and I have never felt more alone. Maybe because I’m just trying to out a smile on and be happy but most days I’m struggling. Pregnancy after loss is a constant state of anxiety. Filled with feelings of being scared to become too connected with this baby out of fear of something going wrong. 
But I’m trying and with every passing week my heart relaxes just a little bit more. So here’s to the final stretch, the third trimester and to all the other mamas out there struggling with similar feelings I’m sending you so much love. ❤️

I hate this world that my children are growing up I hate this world that my children are growing up in. My heart sinks a little every time I send them off to school or daycare, terrified that something out of my control will happen to them. I can control what they eat, what they watch, who they play with to an extent but I can’t control the unknown. And right now raising children feels a little like walking into the unknown. 

So where do we go from here?
How do we teach our children about kindness, forgiveness and trust when society these days is throwing the exact opposite in their faces? How do we raise children and make them feel safe in a world that feels so heavy? In the last 24 hours I’ve thought to myself, this could be my children and the pain that goes along with just that thought is not even comparable to the pain the families who sent their children off to school to never come home are feeling right now. The sad truth though is that the next time it could be my children, your children, our community, our schools that are effected by a tragedy like this. 
As a parent this is the most terrifying thought of all. 

 Holding my children a little tighter today and every day because this world is an unpredictable place and holding onto hope that change is coming. ❤️
