one step closer to thriving

Today I made my first smoothie with spinach. It wasn’t bad, just a little bit different than just having it with fruit. I think I can get used to it.  I’ve signed up for The green smoothie challenge and I hope that this will push me to stay focused and work more on my wellness.

I’ve chosen thrive as my one little word for this year on purpose. I want to feel alive.  I want to thrive and not just to be surviving day by day trying to escape the exhaustion. That’s why I’ve started going to yoga again. My yoga class is a weekly happy getaway from the crazy busy days, my time to relax and time when I can turn off all the worries. I always feel so refreshed afterwards! I hope that changing my diet is going to help me to feel better and more energized as well. Time will show, I guess.

The photo above is my contribution to our weekly theme over at Focus on Everyday (our new posts go live on Wednesdays). This week we are focusing on 4 things. I used four things for my smoothie today and I hope to get more creative and explore more combinations as time goes on. Hop over to see inspiration from the other girls as well.
