Workout Playlist of the Month: March

We all need a little musical motivation to get going sometimes. Each month we’ll give you a workout playlist guaranteed to get your heart pumping – as long as you pair it with exercise! What’s your favorite workout song? Share it with us and we’ll add it to our playlists!

Rachel is a licensed therapist and co-founder of Viva Wellness. She gets most of her inspiration for the blog while on the run, and if you ever need to find her, she’s probably in Central Park. If she’s not running, you’ll find her planning the next time she’s going to eat, exploring all things wellness in NYC, or raising her stress level by watching her sports teams.

  • It's okay if you keep your Sunday for yourself (#selfcaresunday, anyone). But when a friend asks if you want to grab dinner or hit up happy hour, and you'd frankly rather unwind, how do you say no?

It's okay if you want to say no to plans. Most of us are overwhelmed from life, work and everything else thrown at us, but saying no to social plans often feels like you're disappointing the other person.

To help, @jorelcaraballo shared with @britandco how you can use self-care to respectfully turn down an invite. Read more by clicking the link in our profile. 📷: @the.wing .

  • What happens when you feel like you don't look like the usual gym bodies? You learn to define your own meaning of health and wellness, and that's exactly what @rachelgersten and @jorelcaraballo did.

For Rachel, running after being told that she couldn't meant not only taking control of her own health and wellbeing, but also providing a sense of accomplishment that she had been craving. For Jor-El, it meant incorporating walks, getting active with his dog Nomi and listening to what made him feel good physically.

Head over to our podcast as we discuss our views on wellness and how we got there in the latest podcast episode, Wellness Journeys. You'll hear how @rachelgersten came to refer to a certain fast-food joint as "the yuck place" and how @jorelcaraballo came to define his own meaning of health and wellness after he realized going to the gym to lift weights wasn't quite for him (you can guess that that quote was from him). Don't forget to subscribe so you can be notified of the latest episodes as soon as they come out, and leave us a review! #linkinbio

  • Go on, stop and smell the flowers. Sometimes you need some quiet moments to truly appreciate what's around you.

We all know the great feeling of having a few minutes to yourself, but did you know that it can also boost brain growth and improve your memory? Our friends at @helloworkwell explored some of the benefits of silence, and it's definitely worth taking a bit of time every day to yourself. Bonus points if it's a walk outside in #CentralPark (hello, spring!).
