Intermittent fasting is one of the most important things you can do for your health—period. It’s not just about skipping meals; it’s about giving your body the time it needs to rest, repair, and reset on a deep cellular level. When you stop constantly feeding your body, incredible things start happening. Your digestion improves, the inflammation process quickens, your energy skyrockets, and your body shifts into healing mode instead of always working to break down food.

Most of us have been conditioned to believe we need to eat constantly to “keep our metabolism going,” but the truth is, our bodies thrive when we give them space to breathe. Fasting triggers autophagy, your body’s natural way of clearing out damaged cells and regenerating new ones. It’s like hitting the reset button for your entire system.

And the best part? You don’t have to starve yourself to see the benefits. Start simple—12 to 14 hours overnight—and build from there. Once you experience how good you feel, you’ll never look at eating the same way again.

Consistently speaking affirmations can have a powerful impact on your mindset and overall well-being. 🗣️

They help boost self-confidence by reinforcing a strong sense of self-worth while reducing negative thinking and promoting a more optimistic outlook. 🙌🏽🩵✨

Affirmations also enhance motivation, keeping you focused on your goals and inspiring action. By practicing them regularly, you build emotional resilience, making it easier to navigate challenges with a positive, solution-oriented attitude. 🏄🏽

Additionally, positive self-talk has been linked to reduced stress, improved mood, and even better physical health. 💪🏽

Over time, affirmations strengthen self-belief, encourage a growth mindset, and shift your perspective from limitations to possibilities. By training your brain to think more positively, you create lasting self-improvement and inner peace. 🧠

Just because you didn’t get what you needed as a kid doesn’t mean you can’t give what you need to yourself now. 🤍

Honor yourself. Trust yourself. Love yourself.
Through it all. ✨ One baby step at a time.

We wanna thank Ryan Malpica for everything she’s provided to Escape Within! She’s helped build the foundation of the company in a multitude of roles. From heading the travel/accommodations team and managing the kitchen to filling in wherever she’s needed during the retreats, Ryan’s contributions are truly appreciated and will be missed. Those who’ve attended our retreats can attest that Ryan’s dedication and work ethic were a vital part to our success.

Ryan has chosen to resign from Escape Within to dedicate her time and energy to where it’s needed most; with her family. We respect Ryan’s decision and wish her nothing but the best.

Carve out some time today to meditate. Whether you are in the serene space of nature or you found the perfect song to get lost in. Take time for you. 🧘

You are surrounded by guides, angels, amazing energy, don’t forget you can tap into that whenever you want! They are here to love, support and guide you every step of the way. 🩵

Need some extra accountability? I totally understand that. After you meditate, run to the comments and tell us ALL about it! 🫂
