Motivation Monday is a weekly series on YBC® where we'll unveil that week's podcast episode of Namaslay® with YogaByCandace®, a few inspirational uplifting or interesting bits from around the web, and new books, finds and other goodies our team is loving.
I hope your Thanksgiving weekend was restful and full of good food, good people and good vibes. I’ve really enjoyed this time to slow down with work, but I’ll admit I’ve not been feeling my best lately. With all the travel I’ve done this year, the stress of running a small business, and some re-occurring health issues flaring up, I’ve been in a bit of a slump. Yoga teaches us to allow whatever feelings may arise to arise, so I’m riding the waves and letting myself experience it all while trying to infuse more fun into my routines. I’m really looking forward to starting another parasite cleanse, with the guidance of my Naturopathic Doctor, Cassandra Wilder, to reset my mind and body. (You can join us in a following your own general cleanse protocol with the Self-Starter Program we created, or for a more in-depth, personalized approach, book a consultation with Cassandra in the All-In Program. They’re on sale through the end of today!) And having a few months of no travel ahead of me feels really good.
As I work to clear out what’s no longer serving me (or what’s literally living in me, ah!), I keep returning to one question that helps me shift my focus. If you've been feeling pressure this holiday season, stress, or just stuck in a rut, listen to the last episode of Season 5 of the Namaslay® podcast to shift your perspective. This podcast is available on iTunes, Google Play, Google Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, and pretty much anywhere you listen to podcasts. Or, you can also listen here. And if you have a second, would you mind taking this survey? We just want to get some demographics about who's listening to the podcast. Thanks!
For this week’s round up, I wanted to share some holiday gift ideas. These are things we use and love at my home. I’d love to hear what you’ve been loving at yours if you’d like to leave a comment!:
The book my boyfriend is reading and can’t stop raving about.
The CBD tincture I’ve been using daily (use code YBC35 for 35% off - makes a great stocking stuffer!).
We got one of these massage guns this year and we both use it daily - great for the athlete in your life.
For the fashionista in your life, these are the sneakers I’ve been swooning over for the last year and they’re currently on sale.
This travel yoga mat is the best one I’ve found after years of trying out so many.
This travel mug is under $8 and the best one I own. The no-spill lock is genius and actually works.
For people wanting to extend their hair color for a little bit, I swear by this root spray.
I wish I had this for my jewelry - great for those who travel frequently.
I know this is crazy, but this is my favorite and I would love to receive it as a gift because it’s practical and I would definitely use it.
Got someone on your list you’re completely stumped by? These sunglasses that are universally flattering and work for all genders and ages.
