Ocean Relaxation at Its Finest
How does being on the water have such a calming meditative effect on you?
Your brains prefrontal cortex is activated when listening to the sound of the ocean. This area of the brain is associated with self-refection and emotion.
Ocean waves generate negative ions. What does this mean? The peaceful state our bodies feel from being at the beach are a result of molecular changes that are happening in our bodies. The oceanโs waves produce negative ions which accelerate our bodies ability to absorb oxygen. These also balance levels of serotonin; a chemical produced by the body that is related to mood and stress. This is one reason why being at the beach have been linked, by scientists to positive mental energy and a general overall sense of well-being and health.
If that wasnโt enough of a reason to hit the waves, on top of that your stress hormone cortisol levels will lower.
So if youโre feeling down or a little blue, Iโm going to prescribe that you go to the beach to relax & recharge.

Abs are best made in the kitchen.
You know that saying you are what you eat?
Itโs true.
Did you know we have about 100 trillion cells that our body is made up of?
The cells in your body literally become nourished by the foods that you choose to fuel your body with. Nutrients from the foods we eat provide the foundation of the structure, function, and wholeness of every little cell in our body, from the skin to the hair as well as the muscles, bones, digestive and immune systems.
So at the end of the day, choose what you put in your mouth wisely.
Your abs will thank you later. ๐
The Law of Attraction. Do you believe in it?
I do. ๐๐ปโโ๏ธ
It is defined as a pseudoscience based on the belief that positive or negative thoughts will bring about positive or negative experiences into a persons life.

Are you feeling like a negative Nelly or Polly positive today?
Whatโs one thing that made you smile today?
The correlation between exercise and happiness is when the endorphins are released you feel a million times better about everything.
Want to know why?
Endorphins are known as the happiness hormones which are associated with the feeling of enchantment. Dopamine, which is produced when we feel satisfied, resulting in feeling happy, excited and stimulated.
