Transform Your Day in 30 Seconds: The Lucky Lemon Cleanse

coco yoga

A simple ritual that has the power to turn your day around.

What You Need

  • 1 fresh lemon
  • positive intentions
  • 30 seconds

The Ritual

  1. Cut a fresh lemon in half
  2. Rub it on your wrists like perfume
  3. As you do, set clear intentions: money, health, happiness etc
  4. Let it dry naturally
  5. Go about your day

Why It Works

Citrus has been used for centuries to cleanse energy and attract abundance. The scent alone is energizing. But the real power? Taking a moment to consciously set positive intentions.

Recently shared this with my coworkers before our serving shift. We all did it together – rubbed lemon on our wrists, set our intentions out loud. Money. Good tables. Easy night.

Energy was high from then on out and the shift completely turned around. Tables were smooth. Everyone made money. Something good happened (like finding the last pack of crackers) – we’d shout: “Lucky Lemon Cleanse!”

The Real Magic

Maybe it’s the lemon. Maybe it’s the collective intention. Maybe it’s choosing to start with purpose instead of stress. Try it before your next shift, meeting, or challenging day and see what happens!

A Personal Note:

I love when simple things create powerful shifts. That night, watching my coworkers try something new with me, feeling the energy change in real-time – that’s the kind of moment that reminds me why I do this work. We spend so much time looking for complicated solutions. Sometimes it’s just a lemon and 30 seconds of intentional thought.

5 Movement Flows to Refresh Your Body for the New Year

coco yoga

New year, new movement flows! Skip the extreme fitness resolutions. These five simple movement flows will help you reset your body and feel energized without overwhelming your schedule.

Why movement flows work:

They combine mobility, strength, and mindfulness in one efficient sequence. Perfect for busy people who want maximum benefits in minimal time.

Remember: Motion is lotion! Keep your daily dose of movement flow top of mind. Write your notes out on a post-it note and put it somewhere you’ll see it (that part!)

5 flows to refresh:

1. Morning Sun Salutations – 5 rounds to wake up your spine and boost energy –> raise arms, forward fold, plank, cobra, to downward dog

2. Desk Break Flow – Neck rolls, shoulder shrugs, seated twists (3 minutes every hour) –> consider using a yoga ball as your work chair

3. Evening Wind-Down – Cat-cow, child’s pose, gentle spinal twists before bed –> single nostril breathing, calm environment with some tea

4. Weekend Warrior – 20-minute yoga flow combining strength and stretch –> longer holds, deep breathing, trying new movements

5. Micro-Movement Bursts – Squats, lunges, arm circles throughout your day –> even a minute of movement adds up overtime

These flows improve flexibility, reduce stiffness, enhance circulation, and calm your nervous system. No gym required. No equipment needed. Just you and intentional movement.

Try this today:

Pick 1 of the 5 flows that feels good to you and commit to it for 7 days (keep track on your post-it note). Notice how your body feels.

I love burning a candle or some incense before a flow. Cleanses the space making room for healing energy to come through. Setting the intention: “out with the old, in with the new, letting go of all troubles, mind and body renewed.” Little mind body spirit mantra I made up that I’ve been loving.

Using the power within you

coco yoga

When was the last time you focused on your inner energy?✨

Feeling, loving, giving attention to…

Your god-like presence…

Your true essence.

The part of you that is also apart of me…

And all that is around us🌿

The almighty power is within you.

A power that has no bounds, ceilings, or limitations.

A quick tip on manifestation:

Be joyful, and think good thoughts as often as you can.

For when you are joyful… you are aligned with the most powerful force: love.

Love attracts love.

Ask, feel, believe, and you shall receive🤙

The more you practice, the more you BECOME the Almighty One…

Creating your own life experience.


Anyone else studying manifestation / law of attraction?!✨

How can you incorporate more joy in your life?👇

Forgiveness is the path to freedom

coco yoga

Once I forgave myself, everything got easier.

So many times I wish I would of acted differently.

And there’s even more times that I wish I would of stood up for myself, and not let someone treat me a certain way.

For so many years I carried this pain in the depth of my soul.

Once I made the decision to forgive myself, it all seemed to fade away.

I forgave myself for how I treated others and the pain that I’ve caused them.

And I forgave others for how they made me feel.

But most of all I had to really dig deep and forgive myself for letting what others did affect me.

That was hard to swallow. Because it’s so much easier to blame others for my pain.

This journey is NOT easy but when I wake up in the morning, all I can do is try to be better, even if I don’t always make the right decision.

It’s easy to see someone’s pictures and think that they have it all figured out, but what’s inside is a never ending cycle of self discovery – the good, bad, and ugly.

Once I chose to forgive myself, all of this seemed to go away, at least for the time being.

So when I find myself feeling those feelings that we all know too well, I ask my Lord Jesus Christ for forgiveness and to help me carry my burdens through life.

Because I know for sure the decisions I make will follow me throughout my life.

And I so gratefully have Him to walk right along side me, to help with those pains.

I love you all and I am HERE. Talk to me! Together we are stronger ♡

How can we cope positively with our anxiety?

coco yoga

Of course we get a overwhelmed sometimes…

And sometimes we aren’t 100% present…

Off thinking about the past or future.

Belly breaths

Anytime you feel anxiety or frustration coming up…

Use it as a signal that you need to stop and take some deep belly breaths.

4 counts in. Hold.

4 counts out. Hold.

Aim to do at least 5 deep belly breaths.

Repeat these counts until you are feeling better.

Slow down

Take 5-10 minutes to open a window and journal out your emotions…

Or take a walk / spend time in nature to clear your mind.

Move

Whether you are indoors or outdoors…

Putting your arms and legs in positions they aren’t normally in throughout the day will increase your blood flow…

Which in turn increases your energy.

With more energy, you’ll be able to work through emotions more effectively.

Eat healthy foods & hydrate

Work on eating small bits of fruit and vegetables throughout the day to keep your body fueled.

Again, this produces more energy for you.

Of course drink lots of water to stay hydrated.

When we take care of our basic need of clean fuel…

We gain more energy and more opportunity to work on our emotional needs.

Connect with family and friends

Reach out to those around you to see who can hold space for a little while…

Text / call / facetime whatever you need to feel connected.

Pray & meditate

A regular spiritual practice can help to relieve any and all anxiety.

I have first hand experience that prayer power truly does work wonders.

A few minutes a day goes a long way to calming your nerves and worries.

I believe prayer and mediation are an essential part of healing your mind, body & soul.

Self care

What you could use right now?

Maybe a hot shower and face mask…

Or a yoga session and some deep breathing…

Or a sun bath and a nature walk?

Practice taking in consideration your own needs and how you can incorporate more YOU time into your day.

I’m here for anyone needing to work through their thoughts and emotions.

We are in this together.

A healing meditation on past, present, future…

coco yoga

Embrace your past.

It’s brought you to this very moment.

Love your present.

It’s all that truly matters.

Let go of expectations of the future.

Make a decision to accept things as they are.

Do what you can now to feel as much love and joy as possible.
