I’ve had my fair share of those moments lately. My body, my mind, and my emotions have been through a LOT over this last year honestly. The truth though?

You don’t need to “bounce back “ - you need a mindset shift!Structure comes before intensity. Start small, and focus on one or two anchor habits (i.e. walking daily, increasing hydration, or prioritizing protein).
