  • I opened up my bible app and I meditate and it has done wonders for me.

  • I used to be the person to wake up and grab onto the phone, grab some coffee and hit the ground running.

  • And that was not working for me.

  • That was bringing me a lot of anxiety.

  • So I stopped that I like to just start my day with something positive so that that energy can resonate to whoever I'm touching that day.

  • So after I have two large glasses of lukewarm water, I squeeze half a lemon in there and I have apple cider vinegar pills.

  • It's been part of my ritual forever.

  • It helps me control my sugar craving.
