PrincipleS.H.I.N.E. is:S – Say yes to self As moms we tend to put others first, you need to give yourself permission to be top of your priority list.H - Having a relationship with a Higher Power We don't have to do life alone!I – Being an Inspiration When we're operating as our best self, we can be an inspiration to those in our sphere of influence.N – Nutrition - we are what we eat and what we drink. We need to eat nutritious foods and we need to be fully hydrated so that our bodies and minds can operate at their optimum.E – Exercise, or ‘movement’ Allows our brains to produce natural hormones that induce happiness and joy.Join me weekly to hear more stories from amazing special needs moms!Love for you to subscribe!Audio Acknowledgement: Audio Coffee by Denys KyshchukLearn more about your host at:https://coachingwithvalerieanne.com/
