This quote is so powerful. 💥
"Your body hears everything your mind says." 🧠➡️💪

Every thought we entertain has the power to impact our physical well-being. If we constantly feed our minds with negative self-talk, our bodies can respond with stress, tension, and even illness.

When we fill our minds with positivity, self-love, and empowering thoughts, our bodies thrive!

Today, choose to speak kindly to yourself.
Affirm your strength,
Your beauty,
Your resilience
Your love for yourself

Remember, your body is listening to every word. Make those words count! ❤️

🍓Here’s some strawberry trivia for you!

🍓Strawberries belong to the rose family – and they’re the ONLY only fruit that has seeds on the outside.

🍓They’re super delicious and super good for you, too.

🍓They’re packed with vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C, folate, & potassium – which means they are linked with immune health AND lower blood pressure.

PLUS: their antioxidants can help fight bacteria, lower your cholesterol and blood sugar levels, protect your heart, and even fight some cancers.

Strawberries also contain fiber that can feed the good bacteria in your gut to help keep your digestive system running smoothly.

👉TIP: When possible, choose organic strawberries because conventionally raised berries are often sprayed heavily with pesticides.

How often do you eat strawberries? ⬇️

💃Just say yes to strawberry salsa!
This sweet and spicy treat is PERFECT for outdoor barbeques and pool parties.

Enjoy over fish or chicken, or as a sweet and spicy dip.

🍓Strawberry Salsa
(6 servings)

1 pint strawberries, hulled and diced
1 jalapeno, seeded and minced
¼ cup minced red onion
1 lime, juiced
½ cup loosely packed cilantro, minced (or to taste)
Salt and black pepper, to taste

Place all the ingredients in a bowl and gently stir. Let sit for at least 20 minutes to give the flavors a chance to combine.

Taste and adjust the seasonings. If it needs a little sweetness, add a ½ tsp or so of honey. Enjoy!
