MOXIE | n | vigor, verve, courage
Yep, we need to up our MOXIE!
And let’s do it together!
(Plus … there are prizes!)
Ready to take your self-care to the next level? Self-care is all about filling ourselves up; supporting our minds, bodies and spirits with love and attention.
AND when we do so, we up our vigor, our verve, our courage — OUR MOXIE!
Essential oils are perfect additions to this process! They are fast, easy and incredibly powerful.
Soooo, our challenge for February is SELF-CARE! Let’s commit to what we want to do to take better care of ourselves. It can be something you do daily, weekly or something bigger you will do at some point during the month:
- Daily: Get to bed at a certain time, meditate, take a bath, exercise, get fresh air, drink enough water, etc.
- Weekly: Go to yoga class, have lunch with a friend, try a new recipe, etc.
- Monthly: Have a retreat day, get a massage, do restorative yoga, etc.
Then, join us on our Facebook page. We will be checking in with you every week to see how you are doing. Let us know on Monday what your commitment is. Then let us know the following week if you did it.
Everyone that completes their task for the week will be entered into a drawing for some yummy things made by your team! (With a self-care theme, of course!)
AND for the people that complete ALL four weeks of self-care commitments, you will be entered into drawing for a set of DIY containers and a copy of The Chemical Free Home!
Here are a few things to help you get going!
- Need some ideas? Here is a Moxie Me Menu of ideas for you!
- Need some recipes? Here’s a Moxie Me Recipes with a bevy of yummy things you can easily make for yourself!
- And here is your Moxie Me Committment! Print, fill it out, sign it, then let US know what you are going to do!
Here’s Laura talking about self-care, if you want a bit more information and ideas!
I hereby publicly declare that I will:
• eat regular, healthy meals daily (too much missing meals and eating crap later)
• see a movie every week
• have a monthly date with my husband (preferable with other fun folk along as well)
LOVE IT! Public declarations are truly powerful!
I commit to the following:
1) I will maintain a routine rise/sleep schedule.
2) I will cut the use of electronics off at 10 pm each night.
3) I will read for 2 (or more) hours each week.
4) I will say NO, without guilt to commitments I am unable to reasonably meet.
5) I will take one weekend a month off to “play”.
I commit to:
• Limiting the use of electronics before bed by shutting down all my Mac devices by 10 pm every night
• Spending time each day writing down three things I’m grateful for
• Taking at least one night off a week to have a date night with my husband or myself
1. I will go to the gym a minimum of 3 times per week.
2. I will be tech free by 10pm every night.
3. I will not drink pop. Period.
4. I will read 30 minutes before bed a minimum of 3 nights per week.
I challenged my family to participate, too.

Me–1. Follow a daily routine wake & sleep time; 2. Dance in the kitchen at dinnertime; 3. Take a bath (with EO of course) once a month.
