This week, Adee is talking about one of her favorite topics: mental mindset and your relationship with food and your coach.

Brene Brown said it best: "The way we engage with social media is like fire. You can use it to keep yourself warm and nourished or you can burn down the barn. It all depends on your intentions, expectations and reality checking skills."

It’s easy to get down on yourself when things aren’t going according to plan, but there are 86,400 seconds in a day and 86,400 chances to choose positive thoughts over negative ones.

It is only natural that we quickly find ourselves exhausted from trying to do so much for the people around us that we forget the most important thing: spending real, quality time with the people we love.

Whether it’s spending with the money in our wallet or our macro bucks, the cost can be high! However, by engaging in a little self-awareness, self-control, and self-love, we can avoid spending more than necessary!

Our final goal is reflection. Through any process of growth, there will be successes, challenges and surprises, but most importantly lessons.

With full schedules and tight deadlines, we quite often find ourselves wishing we had more time in our day to do things we love and enjoy.

When we operate from a place of gratefulness we develop the ability to be satisfied in moderation. Just think of a food item that you enjoy.

Expressing gratitude no doubt has a positive impact on those around us, but there are countless reasons that being grateful increases our own happiness as well.

In order to maximize your time with loved ones and create more uninterrupted time for yourself, below are number of strategies to help you decrease your technology usage and free up time in your day.

As the use of technology increases, so does the time we spend engaged in our screens, and disengaged from the present company of our friends and loved ones.
