Are you working extra hard during the Summer to change and improve? Reveal a slimmer waist or feel better in a swimsuit? Get stronger, healthier, feel more energetic? It's easy to get caught in the idea that you can change it all. Truthfully you have the power to make dramatic change, but there is a point where you need to also ask why you want to make these changes. Equally important may be finding a place where you can accept where you are at. Interestingly, finding the balance may allow you to make the most progress by removing your own thoughts of ideals as a barrier to finding your most optimal place. Afterall, some ideal of optimization can sure become exhausting if we aren’t enjoying what makes life meaningful for us.

Summer is here! Along with some extra warm weather comes a reminder to check in with yourself about hydration. We offer some simple tools to determine whether you’re properly hydrated, some easy tips to make sure you’re in balance, and a watermelon electrolyte popsicle recipe.
