PRACTICE MINDFULNESS BY FOCUSING ON YOUR BREATH:

During these uncertain times, it’s very easy to get carried away in our thoughts and feelings. Our minds may be going in a million different directions, but focusing on our breathing can help us become more present, grounded and less stressed. Now is a great time to begin your journey to well-being!

Don’t know where to start? Try practicing mindfulness and meditation. Our gurus at Fit Bodies, Inc shared these few simple steps that will help you relax and slow down your breathing pace. It’ll only take a minute!

1. Sit Comfortably

2. Inhale 4 counts, filling your lungs and belly (try placing one hand on your chest and one on your belly to help you focus on the physicality of breathing)

3. Hold the inhale for 2 counts, then exhale for 4 counts (each full breath will take 10 seconds total)

4. Repeat this process 6 times as you relax and calm your mind with these slow, deep breaths

Practice mindfulness when you wake up in the morning or during your walk outside. Discover what works best for you and go with it! Incorporating breathing exercises into your daily routine can result in a boosted well-being, better sleep, less anxiety and reduced blood pressure!

Just remember, when you feel your thoughts spiraling, take it back to your breath.

MAKE A NATURAL, HOMEMADE HAND SCRUB

Take time to focus on yourself this week. No spa? No problem! We’re making your self-pampering journey easier than ever by bringing our Now Natura Riviera Cancun spa treatment right into your home! Follow the simple steps below and you’ll be exfoliating with this fabulous smelling, natural scrub in no time! Clean, soft, silky skin is within reach (and more important than ever).

NATURAL INGREDIENTS NEEDED

2 Tablespoons of brown sugar

Benefits?

  • This natural exfoliator clears away dry and dead skin cells leaving you radiant and glowing (thanks to its anti-bacterial properties and glycolic acid).
  • Brown sugar is also very easy on the skin and can be used up to 4 times a week!

Don’t have brown sugar? Pure sugar cane is a great alternative for all skin types. Raw sugar also works, but it’ll be the most coarse on skin because of its dense particles.

3 Tablespoons of honey

Benefits?

  • Full of natural antioxidants, honey is great for keeping the skin feeling young and hydrated. Plus, its antiseptic and antibacterial properties help open and cleanse your pores and will moisturize your skin deeply.


Some other alternatives include Jojoba, Grapeseed or Coconut oils.

STEPS TO MAKE:

STEP 1. Wash your hands thoroughly and sanitize

STEP 2. Add sugar & honey into bowl

STEP 3. Mix thoroughly until a paste forms

STEP 4. Spread evenly on hands and gently rub into skin slowly

STEP 5. Remove with a warm towel

Store your remaining scrub in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks for some extra doses of relaxation and rejuvenation!
