On Making My Life A Little More Sweet

I admit it: I can be awful at taking time for myself. I think many of us are that way, right? Life is just so busy, and we are constantly giving ourselves to others, that we just forget or think about taking time to enjoy ourselves like we should. Here's one example: I wake up early, get started on my blog stuff, and then I'm off to work. I go from one activity to another, and it doesn't stop there. I'm a nanny and am usually chasing after two little ones. Since my day is very occupied, it'll be almost lunch and I'll realize I've forgotten breakfast. Or it will be later in the day and I'll find myself tired, reaching for a less-healthy snack alternative. It leaves me unable to be the person I want to be or be as great as I know I can be. But I've decided to change all of that.

I've made a conscious effort to try and add more "sweet" to my life. These are just little things that are making a huge difference. Here are just a couple of things: I'm using a timer to remind myself to get off of the computer and stretch. I've started making spinach smoothies--think spinach, Greek yogurt, a little ice, or maybe some protein powder. The iron in the spinach has really helped my low-energy levels, and I love choosing something that's healthier for me. I'll mix it up and add different fruits, but what I love is to add more greens, like kale, romaine, and celery.

And I finish it off by sprinkling a packet of Born Sweet™ Zing™ Zero Calorie Stevia Sweetener. I love this stuff! It’s perfect for mixing into coffee, tea, and other favorite drinks. It's made with only real ingredients-- nothing artificial, with the sweetness extracted from Mother Nature’s stevia plant! In fact, 1 packet equals the sweetness in 2 teaspoons of sugar. It turns my spinach smoothies into a delicious sweetening experience.

By making these little changes, like my spinach smoothie, I can be assured that my personal “sweet” bliss isn’t pushed to the back burner by a busy schedule. And now I want YOU to try some for yourself!
