You know, I've been talking about environmental toxins forever, and laundry detergent is a sneaky one. A lot of them contain harsh chemicals like dyes, preservatives, and even UV brighteners. Those brighteners don't actually clean anything. They just coat fabric so your eyes think things look whiter or brighter. That's more chemicals I don't want on my family's sheets or skin. And if you've got sensitive skin or allergies around the house, this can be a big problem. That's what got my attention about Earth Breeze. It looks like a dryer sheet, but it's actually laundry detergent. You toss one in the washer and that's it. No pouring, no mess, and no heavy plastic jug. Their packaging is lightweight cardboard, which helps reduce plastic waste. And if you choose the fragrance free option, it's gentle, hypoallergenic, non irritating and non sensitizing. I really like how simple it is and how fresh and clean everything comes out without those unnecessary chemicals.

I love hearing about how you can stay fit when your time is crunched because this is the number one thing that gets people derailed is they'll say, I just don't have enough time. I'm super busy today. And this is where we get caught up in this idea of time. And then we put our fitness or even eating healthy on the back burner where I'm here to tell you I am busy every single day. I am running three businesses. I'm a mother to two teenage girls. I'm a wife. I'm trying to take care of my health. So I'm super busy. I travel sometimes up to three times per month. Now, I haven't been traveling as much, but I will be back into that same regimen very soon. And so here's the deal. I'm constantly doing things that are for being time crunched constantly. And these are my top tips. So this is what I love. And I just want to remind you that you always have time to make fitness and your health a priority. It's just like brushing teeth. It would literally be absurd if someone said, hey, I just don't have time to brush my teeth. I'm in a time crunch. Go brush your teeth. Granted, I understand working out takes a little bit longer than brushing your teeth, but it doesn't have to take much longer. So a lot of us get caught up in this mindset that you've got to work out for an hour to see results or for it to be beneficial. Most of us don't have an hour in the day and if we do, bless you. But for some, most of us, that's not happening. But I want to free you up for a moment. You actually can receive almost the same, if not more benefit in working out 10 to 15 minutes a day versus an hour. It's just about being really effective in your workouts, using multiple muscle groups at one time. You can do body weight exercise in your home, getting your heart rate up, and you can go as little as seven minutes and see major results inside of your body. There are tons of free workouts on YouTube on I have them on my website on my YouTube. They're usually called HIIT high intensity interval Training Workouts and you will see benefit from that. The second thing I want to talk to you about is meditation because we often think that meditation is just good for our mind. But I'm here to tell you it's really great for your fitness and overall health when the mind sees your body lean. When the mind is you give the mind permission to love yourself and to see yourself as beautiful and lean. The body actually goes in the direction that the mind directs it. So I every single day visualize myself lean.

Hello listeners, this is Anne Boeckle, author, blogger, and creator of the podcast what Should I Read next? Since 2016, I've been helping readers bring more joy and delight into their reading lives. Every week I check all things books and reading with a guest and guide them in discovering their next reading. They share three books they love, one book they don't, and what they've been reading lately, and I recommend three titles they may enjoy reading next. Guests have said our conversations are like therapy, troubleshooting issues that have plagued their reading lives for years, and possibly the rest of their lives as well. And of course, recommending books that meet the moment. Whether they are looking for deep introspection to spur or encourage a life change, or a frothy page turner to help them escape the stresses of work, school, everything. You'll learn something about yourself as a reader and you'll definitely walk away confident to choose your next read, with a whole list of new books and authors to try. So join us each Tuesday for what Should I Read Next? Subscribe now wherever you're listening to this podcast and visit our website what shouldireadnextpodcast.com to find out more.
