Chocolate Mint Smoothie ...

Weather Funk!

I don't know about you but I'm having a tough time getting motivated with this non-stop winter weather!  Well, I'm motivated ... I've been spending lots of money online lately as that's easy!  But I honestly feel like a hibernating bear on some days ... even sneaking in a few naps lately ...

I'm sitting down to write with pouring rain, my neighbor hanging out his window knocking the snow and ice off his roof, fire sirens going off, ugh!  Even my chiropractor told me today that people are so "off" ... quick to react and very agitated.  

Yeah it really sucks right now. 

However I have to share my stand by tool to those of you feeling really funky today.  I've written about it before but do yourself a favor and do a gratitude journal.  Or maybe even just a mental gratitude slate.  Take notice of the things you have and you'll feel much happier.  If you can come up with ten things right now that you are grateful for you are on your way to a better mindset.

Even when you get dirty looks from those cars passing you because you're sticking too far out of the street to see over the snow bank!

You are in charge of how you feel!  

Here's a quick recipe to help you de-funk your energy:

Chocolate-Mint Smoothie

1 scoop of chocolate protein powder

1 cup of unsweetened almond milk

1 stalk of celery

1 handful of baby spinach

1/2 avocado

3 ice cubes

3 mint leaves or 2 drops of peppermint oil

Put the milk in first and then add the rest of the ingredients.  Blend until smooth. 

Enjoy!
