Taking a moment for you! (with a slice of banana chai bread)

What am I craving today? Well a cup of hot tea and a slice of banana bread! I love that moment in the day when I can just sit and reflect, even if just for a few minutes, and reboot my mind. Sure it's hard to find a moment in the day for yourself, life is busy! But it's so important to take time for yourself, even if that time is just 10 minutes, short, it will provide your body and mind with a much needed boost to finish the day, positively and strong! So however you relax, a power nap, meditation, a cup of tea and a slice of banana bread, take that moment and savor the good around you. It's all apart of your B-FIT4U health journey!
