37 Things I Learned in 37 Years
Earlier this year I turned 37 and for some reason it got me doing a lot of reflecting. I’m not sad at all, actually I feel pretty darn great about it. I’ve been through enough in life to have some hefty realizations, but I haven’t yet hit 40 so I’m not crying and my kids kind of still think I’m cool to hang out with. That’s something to celebrate, isn’t it?
SO here it is, I put together a list of 37 lessons I’ve learned so far. Believe me, I know 37 isn’t the guru of ages. But I don’t want to wait until I’m 80 years old to share some of these lessons. Heck, by then I may not remember them. 40 lessons sounds cooler, but again, why wait? I feel compelled to share now. Here they are, in no particular order:
Top 6 Foods That Cause Inflammation
Let’s talk about inflammation. Not the kind when you twist your ankle after a few too many glasses of wine dancing wildly on the dance floor.

Drink the Water. Reap the Benefits.
If you can do nothing else to benefit your health, then drink water. It does so much for your overall well being. Is your energy low? Try drinking more water. Have a headache?

It is literally the easiest form of self care with benefits researched over and over again stating how important it is for our health. Drink the damn water.

Self Care, Self Love and How to Make ‘You’ a Priority
Self care is any activity that we intentionally do in order to take care of our emotional, physical or mental health. It seems obvious that we should take care of ourselves first before we are fully capable of taking care of others, however in a life where we are pressed to do more and it feels like there are not enough hours in the day - it’s so easy to neglect our basic needs and push the limits. We are not putting our own oxygen masks on first and it results in anxiety and burnout.
Self care is key to a balanced life. Self care is not an indulgence and we shouldn’t feel bad about it. It’s necessary and we should be disciplined about it.
