Had a rough day or week? Try this meditation for moms….or anyone who is interested.
An ice bath is a great way to help your muscles recover after a hard workout. Here are the steps to make an at-home ice bath:
The water should be between 50-60°F (10-15°C).
You can use ice cubes or bags of ice from the store. Start with a small amount of ice and add more as needed.
Use your hands or a long spoon to stir the ice into the water.
It should be cold, but not painfully so. If the water is too cold, add some warm water to bring the temperature up slightly.
You can wear a swimsuit or shorts and a t-shirt if you prefer.
You can gradually increase the time as your body gets used to the cold.
Remember to listen to your body and stop if you feel uncomfortable or experience any pain. Ice baths are not recommended for everyone, especially those with certain medical conditions, so it’s always a good idea to check with your doctor before trying one.
If cold therapy is not your thing – and that’s ok! – then try another method of recovery, Assisted Stretch.

Centering your breath is an important practice that can help you reduce stress, improve your focus, and increase your overall sense of well-being. Here are 3 tips to help you center your breath:
Have you caught a coworker or friend saying, “I’m tired!”
Or has your gym buddy recently said to you, “I’m so sore!”
Or have you caught yourself saying in the morning, “I can’t get up, I’m so exhausted!”
I started thinking, why do we say these ‘weakness phrases’ out loud? Are we seeking pity? Or recognition that we accomplished something?
