If you did\, it meant you were being selfish. Congratulate yourself!\n.\nBeing SELFISH is a good thing!  It’s about the importance of being self-intuitive\, self-sufficient and self happy through self-care lifestyle practices. Bottom line? It means you take care yourself first\, leaving you strong enough\, resilient enough\, and with enough energy for all the rest.\n.\nBeing SELFISH isn’t just about treating yourself with dark chocolate\, locking the door to take a bubble bath\, or binge-watching 12 hours of your favorite new show…. (note: we don’t condone doing these from time to time\, especially if that’s what brings you JOY!)\n.\nBut you also have a choice to create a life you DON’T NEED TO ESCAPE FROM.\n.\nEnter the SELFISH Wellness program.\nThis program is focused on discovering your inner power to help you find balance\, stop saying should’ve/would’ve/could’ve and to feel more than you’ve felt since … ??\n\nWe do this through nutrient-dense food\, thought-provoking exercises\, mouthwatering recipes\, solutions for dealing with those who aren’t on your path\, a private Facebook group with weekly interactive live kick-off calls and check-ins\, recipe demos\, mini-meditations\, simple & soothing stretch workouts\, fun self-care challenges and more!\n.\nPlus\, one of the greatest benefits comes from the power of the community participating in the program alongside you.\n.\n\nSelf-care isn’t one size fits all. And healthy isn’t a size.\n. \nEach of us is working through our own challenges. We’re all different with where we are on our path. So there’s flexibility in this program to control how lightly or deeply you engage.  It’s stress-free and we’ll be there every step of the way. \n\n.\nIt’s estimated that it takes a minimum of 21 days to form a new habit. Be SELFISH and prioritize yourself to commit to the SELFISH 21-day Wellness Program with us for a stronger immune system\, a more powerful digestive system\, cleaner skin\, deeper sleep\, eliminate cravings\, lower toxic load\, reduce weight and gain tools to manage your self-care your way.\n.\n\n\nI’ve done the Selfish Wellness Program with Monique for the past three years and I still look forward to it every year. It’s an amazing reset for my body and mind\, especially after the holidays.\nE. \n\n\nHow we move and breathe affects how we feel\, how we sleep\, and even on our nervous system! We’ll work especially with the vagus nerve through meditations and movement. \nNEW THIS YEAR: A special focus on longevity!\n\nJanuary 5th – 25th\nWe officially start on Friday\, January 5th and run through Thursday\, January 25th.\nKick-off call: Wednesday\, January 3rd @ 7pm CT\n\nDo this from anywhere!
