It's the simple things...

So, I am mostly posting this photo because that way I will always remember it and how important and beneficial it is to drink LOTS of water! Isn't this amazing?! This beautiful woman drank three liters of water a day for a month, and this was her result. She felt more energized, her cellulite disappeared, she lost inches of her waist, and her migraines vanished. It's just water! Isn't that crazy? People spend thousands of dollars on prescriptions for their migraines, energy drinks and procedures to reduce unwanted body fat. Look what could happen if we all just drank water? Oh, how amazing. :)

ALSO.

 

I took my very first yoga class last semester and LOVED it. So, I YouTubed some videos and got back into it tonight. It's amazing how much better you feel when you breathe, stretch, think, and relax. I was so stressed today and feeling anxious because of school and such, and just simply drinking lots of water and doing some yoga brought down my anxiety and restlessness tremendously. 

Therefore, this is a post to remind you that it's the simple things that will really make you feel your very best. They are such easy things to do too! Write a note to someone you admire, drink some water, do some yoga, read a book, watch a movie, go for a walk etc. etc. etc. Do something that allows you to get inside your own mind and body and think, relax, and reconnect with yourself. We are running and running to accomplish day to day tasks and sometimes we may feel so busy and overwhelmed, but it's because we don't use our time wisely. Instead of getting on Facebook or the internet, (I say this as I sit here and blog. Oh, the irony!) go and do something for YOURSELF. You are important too, so take care of you. With all the social media today, I feel like people are constantly feeling the need to receive validation from other people via social networks, and all it might take for you to really feel good about yourself is taking the time to think about you, and doing things that make you feel good-mentally, physically, and spiritually.

These are just rambles from a fatigued and worn out college senior. The only thing I can tell you is that A) clearly water is good for you, so drink it! :) and B) Take time to take care of yourself--you deserve it! Oh, and  C) Keep some chocolate around. ;)

Oh, and one last thing. Smile as much as you can. :)
