Have you ever had a dream that you were swimming in the most refreshing, most vibrant, chilled water?
This happens to me when I'm dehydrated.

Lately, my dreams have been about working out.  The most satisfying, form honoring, fulfilling workouts.

Wellness, routines, vitality…It's a craving.
The yearning for how I felt before the first indulgent treat sent me straight into the throes of the deepest end of the deep end this season.

I'm grateful I've spent the past year understanding how to appreciate the value of contrast.
It has allowed me to still connect into how beautiful and vibrant I felt at the peak of my fitness just two years ago, and how the heaviness of thoughts weigh on me now having adapted a less robust routine. 
I've traded time with my weights, for time at the keyboard and evening walks for creating just one more formulation for Vrai.
I had a new routine to adapt to and needed to find where everything fit.
The most convenient solution was to put my self care to the side. Amazing how effortless it feels to do that.
Launching a cosmetics line will do that, I guess.

Being able to appreciate the contrast between two states allows me to hold the pressure of my wellness in a state of pleasure rather than a state of self destructive stress.
And this allows me to flow into the satisfaction of creating my new routine that begins in just a few days.
I crave it, vs feeling I “should” or “have to.”
These are two entirely different worlds that yield entirely different results.

The key to creating a routine of any kind, is that it is not only sustainable, but that it is BUILDABLE.
And, that if feels like an absolute “YES!”

Design your core baseline.
Ensure that it is one you can commit to over a significant timeline.
Then, contemplate often on how you can build onto it.
Sometimes the additions are just a supplemental extra, not meant to remain.
And other times, it is the smallest elements you bring in for the purpose of stretching your capacity just a little bit more so that your routine expands.

As for myself?
I cannot wait to bring workouts back into my day.
To lay out my new supplement routine every morning, and mix up my beauty mocktail every evening.
And, to experience the new GLP-1 supplement from YL!

Cheers to your most beautiful, most vibrant, most alluring year ahead.
I'll see you all in the deep end of the winners circle.
Oh, and Sweet One, if you get there before me…put the mineral essence infused water with vitality drops on ice!
