Movement is medicine for both body and mind. When anxiety feels overwhelming, grounding yourself through simple movement can help restore calm and focus.
Try these 3 ways to move and reset:
1️⃣ Repetitive Movement: running or walking
2️⃣ Stretching, yoga, & breath control
3️⃣ Staying Active with your community: pickle-ball/ community style workout
Take a moment today to move with intention you deserve it. 💙

🍩✨ We love supporting our local schools! This week, our team delivered pastries to the teachers and staff at Petal Middle School and Petal Elementary School as a small “thank-you” for all they do every day.

Teachers make a huge impact—and we’re grateful for the chance to give back.

Here’s to a sweet start to the school year! 📚🍩
