166 | Monday's Motivational Words Of The Week
Plank pose is amazing! It’s actually a developmental stage like crawling. A lot of babies will pop their knees up and they're in a plank, and you're like, holy moly, look at that strong, little baby! It’s a great workout for your core and also strengthens your wrist and hands, triceps and spinal muscles. Not to mention lengthening the neck and toning the buttocks. So we should be doing plank all the time.

162 | Starting the weekend off with good vibes
Did you know there are scientifically proven benefits to being kind? Kindness lowers cortisol (the stress hormone) and increases our energy, level of happiness and even our lifespan. People who are perpetually kind also age more slowly than others!Today I’m sharing some great ideas for acts of kindness from The Great Kindness Challenge.
