Sweet & Salty Strawberry Pretzel Salad

Sweet & Salty Strawberry Pretzel Salad

This Strawberry Pretzel Jello Salad is an irresistible mix of sweet and salty with just enough creaminess in the middle to balance both. It’s almost like a dessert, but I prefer to call it a side dish. That way you can have an extra treat without all the guilt!

SHARE THIS MESSAGE 📤 We can’t expect to run SHARE THIS MESSAGE 📤 We can’t expect to run non-stop without consequence. Raise your hand if you’ve crashed and burned recently—it’s not fun! 🫣 We KNOW this… and yet, we try to be an exception to the rule, myself included. Instead of making progress like we think we will, we spiral deeper into depression and anxiety until we hit rock bottom and are forced to take a step back. (Usually when it’s the most inconvenient time to!) So we have to get ahead of the game. At the first sign of stress, step away. Go for a walk. Sit in silence. Journal. Most importantly, turn off the NOISE (aka your phone 📱) as much as possible. This will feel strange at first, but when you take the time to breathe, you are strengthening your ability to tackle everything with a clear mind and a refreshed soul when you come back to real life.

Humans don’t like hard. We’re wired to do wh Humans don’t like hard. We’re wired to do whatever’s easiest… like comparing ourselves to the Instagram account that makes us feel crummy instead of going for a run. That’s why our habits need to be ✨CONVENIENT ✨ so they actually stand a chance against our human nature. (And so we can still do them even when we don’t feel mentally so great!) 👉🏼 Like creating a donation box so every time you spot something you don’t need, you can throw it inside. 👉🏼Like setting out your workout clothes the night before so you don’t spend extra time deciding what to wear. 👉🏼Like keeping a set of cleaning supplies in every bathroom so you don’t have to walk back and forth. Take a good look at the habit you want to cultivate and identify what about that habit makes it so hard to do. Then find ways to eliminate and streamline those obstacles as much as possible. If you need help brainstorming, tell me what habit you’re struggling with and why, and I’ll give you some ideas! 👇🏻 Follow @kalynbrookeco for more life management strategies for mental health. . . . #habitsofhealth #buildinggoodhabits #makeiteasy #makeiteasier #letitbeeasy #habitbuilding #strategyofconvenience #conveinent #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthblogger
SECRET OF SURVIVAL ⬇️ Plan a Buffer Day after SECRET OF SURVIVAL ⬇️ Plan a Buffer Day after a BIG DAY. A “Buffer Day” helps your mind and body recover from exerting so much energy the day before. If you jump right back into your normal life, you’ll actually be LESS productive trying to push through the fog. But you have to PLAN AHEAD to be successful. On your Buffer Day: 🤍 Don’t schedule any social activities or appointments 🤍 Limit your to-do list to your top three must-do’s 🤍 Practice a lot of self-care! We’re humans, not robots. A Buffer Day helps you respect your limits. 🙌 👉🏻 Are you going to try this?

Why is it SO DANG HARD to quiet your mind? 🤦‍ Why is it SO DANG HARD to quiet your mind? 🤦‍♀️ Sometimes my head physically hurts because I can’t stop the 159 thoughts bombarding it all at once. (Especially with OCD). If you can relate, here are some tricks I’ve learned to calm the crazy: 🧠 Take a deep breath… multiple times. 🧠 Pull out a notebook and brain dump EVERYTHING that is going on in your mind right now. Write until you run out of things to say (or your hand starts cramping) 😆 🧠 Tackle the easiest thing off that list. This will motivate and encourage you! 🧠 Establish separate worry times. Tell yourself you can worry about the THING that’s bothering you later. This gives you permission to let it go for now. 🧠 Go for a walk or hike. Just being in nature will soothe your mind and soul. Most of all, remind yourself that you are in control. You’ve got this!

Don’t sabotage your good habits by… 🙅‍♀️Turning your habit into a goal with a FINISH LINE.🙅‍♀️ Like getting down to a certain weight, completing a fitness challenge, or reading a certain number of books. Or in my case, **hiking 202.2 miles in 2022.** I completed this goal by June 15th (#overachiever 😂) aaaand then I didn’t quite know what to do with myself. Nothing was motivating me to hit the trail anymore! I had (unknowingly) sabotaged my efforts by creating a “finish line” (and by reaching it early). Hiking a certain number of miles became the GOAL and not a habit to cultivate long-term. It’s human nature—once we achieve success, we tend to 🛑 stop 🛑 moving forward. So the next time you set a goal, decide whether: 1️⃣ You want this goal to be one-and-done OR 2️⃣ If you actually want to maintain a forever habit Setting specific goals for your habits isn’t a bad thing, but the “finish line effect” is real. So if you go this route, put safeguards in place so you're inspired to keep moving forward, long after you've reached your original goal. 👉🏼 Did this just explain a lack of motivation you’ve experienced when reaching a goal?
