We wake up to a spectacular view of the sun greeting us as it pops out of the Pacific Ocean in the morning.

This means that my early mornings are filled with preparing breakfast! &nbsp;By my Human Design, I do well with Intermittent Fasting, thus, morning time is all about liquids. I start on an empty belly with fresh celery juice. I blend 2-3 stalks with a cup of water then strain it. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Next, I move on to warm lemon water to prime digestion before I sit down at my \u201coffice\u201d (currently our dining room table) to sip on my vegan protein shake and black coffee (depending on my mood I usually add a bit of collagen protein, ghee, or coconut oil to my coffee for some health benefits).<\/span><br><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-7654 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.healthcoachinstitute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Copy-of-Home-Office-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.healthcoachinstitute.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Copy-of-Home-Office-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.healthcoachinstitute.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Copy-of-Home-Office-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.healthcoachinstitute.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Copy-of-Home-Office-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.healthcoachinstitute.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Copy-of-Home-Office-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.healthcoachinstitute.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Copy-of-Home-Office-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Time to Get Busy Working with Clients!<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After breakfast, I\u2019m so grateful to have a beautiful table to sit down at and get some work done for the day (it\u2019s the small things you appreciate as a nomad)! This is when I spend time on clients calls, prepping my next group cleanse or writing (as I\u2019m doing at this very moment). I prefer mornings to be a bit on a quieter side, so I typically have some soft music playing and I always have a candle burning for yummy wafts of scent and a warm atmosphere. My environment is super important to my vibes so fresh flowers and a great view are a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">bonus!<br><\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Don&#8217;t Forget to Take a Break During the Day<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mid-day is when I like to take a break from sitting and get outside. Depending on the circumstances, where we are in the world, and how I\u2019m feeling, this is when I\u2019d go for a long \u201cWalk-N-Talk\u201d with a friend, swim laps in the pool, do some gentle stretching or have a little lay down for a leisurely read or rest. I really believe that rest is extremely important and outstandingly underrated in our society that has conditioned us to believe that we always \u201cmust\u201d and \u201cshould be\u201d doing, creating, and producing more. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Guilt-free rest has been the key to unlocking most of my creative and energetic blocks. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Typically, this is also when I\u2019ll begin getting hungry for my first solid meal of the day. <\/span><b>I really love the idea of cooking once and eating twice. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I will cook more than enough food for Dmitri and I for dinner to be sure that we have leftovers the next day for lunch. In order to make the meal feel fresh, I will add some ripe avocado and spring greens, which typically works for almost anything that I\u2019m having!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hit the Afternoon Refreshed, Energized and Inspired<br><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019ll get a new jolt of inspiration after lunch so I get back to work. I\u2019m a bit more energized in the afternoons so this is when I like to schedule recordings like podcasts and videos, create content for <strong style=\"font-size: inherit;\">my blog<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><strong style=\"font-size: inherit;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/theyogiyachtie\/\">Instagram<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, or do my own self-work like talking to my therapist and other coaches in my mastermind group.<\/span><br><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-7652 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.healthcoachinstitute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Copy-of-Dmitri-and-I-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.healthcoachinstitute.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Copy-of-Dmitri-and-I-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.healthcoachinstitute.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Copy-of-Dmitri-and-I-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.healthcoachinstitute.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Copy-of-Dmitri-and-I-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.healthcoachinstitute.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Copy-of-Dmitri-and-I-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.healthcoachinstitute.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Copy-of-Dmitri-and-I-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">D<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">mitri is currently spending his time studying for a big exam he has in February. So after a full day of work and studies, we keep each other accountable to put it all down and spend quality time together. There\u2019s a ping-pong table where we are staying right now and it has been our jam! This time together, exercising and having fun, is my absolute joy. We always have great laughs, talk about how the day went, bounce ideas off each other for the next day, and as an added bonus my ping-pong skills are getting pretty good! So the game turns into a friendly competition that brings us even closer and allows us to get a sweat on without feeling like we\u2019re having to work for it. At this stage in my life, any movement that is fun is the only thing that I\u2019m interested in. Though I do enjoy the occasional HIIT workout or 20 minutes on the elliptical, pleasure is a non-negotiable for me when it comes to exercise. I find that throughout the day if I incorporate regular pleasant movement, I give myself permission to let go of the relentless and heavy mantra of \u201cI have to go to the gym.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-7658 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.healthcoachinstitute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Root-Veggies-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"257\" height=\"343\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.healthcoachinstitute.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Root-Veggies-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.healthcoachinstitute.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Root-Veggies-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.healthcoachinstitute.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Root-Veggies-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.healthcoachinstitute.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Root-Veggies-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.healthcoachinstitute.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Root-Veggies-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 257px) 100vw, 257px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h2>Incorporate Quality Time with Your Significant Other<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Following afternoon movement together, we either make our way to the sauna or head home to shower and cook dinner. &nbsp;Dinnertime is also quality time together. We both love to cook and enjoy helping each other in the kitchen. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>One of my favorite go-to recipes, especially in autumn and winter, is a super simple root vegetable roast<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. I love beets, red or purple potatoes, onions, and carrots (you can literally add any other hearty veggie here)! I cut them into bite-sized chunks, lather them up with either coconut, avocado, or grapeseed oil (these oils are more stable at high temperatures) and season them with an herb seasoning salt, pepper, and whatever other spices I feel like grabbing at that time. Bake at 350 degrees for about 40ish minutes and voila! <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They should be hot and easy to stick a fork through. A couple of vegetables make plenty of food for dinner and there\u2019s always leftovers for the next day to heat up again or eat cold on a salad.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> <\/span><br><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-7659 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.healthcoachinstitute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Bath-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.healthcoachinstitute.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Bath-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.healthcoachinstitute.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Bath-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.healthcoachinstitute.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Bath-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.healthcoachinstitute.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Bath-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.healthcoachinstitute.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Bath-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Self-care is Not a Luxury, It&#8217;s a Necessity<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Self-care is a buzzword that is currently used often in the world of health and wellness. For me, <\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Bm0-N8WDEMY\/\">self-care is<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> not a luxury, a reward for doing good\/eating well\/working out hard, expensive, or an added \u201cthing to do\u201d on my already long list. That\u2019s counter-productive. Self-care is a lifestyle that involves reflective awareness and is accommodating to my current needs. <\/span><b>It means that my daily choices are flexible, malleable, and consistently flowing with my dynamic, incredible body and vast emotions.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One practice that I use for self-care is super yummy and long <\/span><strong>Epsom Salt baths.<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> After dinner, I absolutely love filling my tub with 4 cups of Epsom Salt (I\u2019ll typically add 10 drops of essential oil to the salt) to soak. There are so many healing benefits and spiritual significance to pools of water, especially with salt, and for me, this is my time to give energy back to myself.<\/span><b> By filling my own cup in this way, I can then give from the overflow.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> It would be impossible for me to show up for my partner, clients, family, and friends the way that I do if I didn\u2019t take care of myself FIRST. &nbsp;<br><\/span><br><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We always end the night together with prayer. For us, it is imperative that we give thanks for all that we have and ask for guidance in our lives together.<\/span>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Final Thoughts on Living a Holistic Coaching Lifestyle<\/h2>\n<p><b><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-7657 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.healthcoachinstitute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Copy-of-Nice-Backpack-300x225.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.healthcoachinstitute.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Copy-of-Nice-Backpack-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/www.healthcoachinstitute.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Copy-of-Nice-Backpack.png 750w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Creating this life by design has been one of trial and error. &nbsp;<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We have worked hard and financially planned ahead in order to travel the way we do.

Chelsea is a traveling Yoga teacher as well a Health and Abundance&nbsp;Coach. She is ecstatic to share a glimpse of her life as the Yoga Yachtie in this blog.&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>A Little About Me<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hello and thanks for being here! My name is Chelsea Nielsen, founder of A Mindful Life, LLC and known in the social sphere as <\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/theyogiyachtie\/?hl=en\">The Yogi Yachtie<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. I am blessed to travel the world seasonally as a yoga teacher onboard private super-yachts and personally and professionally as a Health and Abundance Coach. &nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-7649 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.healthcoachinstitute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Copy-of-Hero-Pose-BDA-300x154.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"154\"><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Though my lifestyle is full of so much abundance that I am endlessly grateful for, it was no piece of cake getting here. I was blessed to have had some tough things happen to me at a young age which manifested later on in high school as psoriasis and anxiety. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img class=\"wp-image-7655 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.healthcoachinstitute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Copy-of-Monaco-Stroll-251x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"220\" height=\"263\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These lessons, coupled with my divorce in 2015, catapulted me towards a life of greatness that I never would have known otherwise. <\/span><b>For many years now, it has been a process of slowly unraveling all that I thought to be true about myself and the world around me in order to get to where I am at today. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This rebirth, through the process of unlearning, is now what fuels my passion and excitement to help others up and out of the trenches of heartbreak, scarcity, major life change, anxiety, and autoimmune disease into a life full of abundance, gratitude, and miracles!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A Passion for Helping Empower Others to Be Remarkable<\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is now my mission to help women who may feel powerless in their circumstances write a whole new storybook and be empowered by their lifestyle choices in order to truly embody their most remarkable life yet.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>How I Spend My Day<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019m excited to share with you the life that my partner Dmitri and I have chosen to live!<\/span><br><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-7651 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.healthcoachinstitute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Copy-of-Barcelona-Kisses-300x196.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"196\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Days onboard are long hours and mostly all about cleaning, maintaining, and entertaining...so I won\u2019t bore you with that. ;-)<br><\/span><br><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We are complete nomads, meaning at the moment we do not have a permanent home, and for the next two months, we are anchored up in a beautiful AirBnB on the coast of Panama. This particular unit has floor to ceiling windows, which allow for stargazing at night right from the comfort of our bed. We wake up to a spectacular view of the sun greeting us as it pops out of the Pacific Ocean in the morning. I\u2019m much more of a night owl than a morning person, so it really is a treat to not have to set an alarm and wake up gently with the rising sun.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Creating a Thriving, Holistic Living Environment<br><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-7650 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.healthcoachinstitute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Celery-Strainer-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-7656 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.healthcoachinstitute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Copy-of-Morning-Drinks-169x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"169\" height=\"300\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My partner and I have created a lifestyle that is downstream and a complete package of holistic management for psoriasis and anxiety. This means that my early mornings are filled with preparing breakfast! &nbsp;By my Human Design, I do well with Intermittent Fasting, thus, morning time is all about liquids. I start on an empty belly with fresh celery juice. I blend 2-3 stalks with a cup of water then strain it. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Next, I move on to warm lemon water to prime digestion before I sit down at my \u201coffice\u201d (currently our dining room table) to sip on my vegan protein shake and black coffee (depending on my mood I usually add a bit of collagen protein, ghee, or coconut oil to my coffee for some health benefits).<\/span><br><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-7654 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.healthcoachinstitute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Copy-of-Home-Office-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\"><\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Time to Get Busy Working with Clients!<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After breakfast, I\u2019m so grateful to have a beautiful table to sit down at and get some work done for the day (it\u2019s the small things you appreciate as a nomad)! This is when I spend time on clients calls, prepping my next group cleanse or writing (as I\u2019m doing at this very moment). I prefer mornings to be a bit on a quieter side, so I typically have some soft music playing and I always have a candle burning for yummy wafts of scent and a warm atmosphere. My environment is super important to my vibes so fresh flowers and a great view are a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">bonus!<br><\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Don't Forget to Take a Break During the Day<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mid-day is when I like to take a break from sitting and get outside. Depending on the circumstances, where we are in the world, and how I\u2019m feeling, this is when I\u2019d go for a long \u201cWalk-N-Talk\u201d with a friend, swim laps in the pool, do some gentle stretching or have a little lay down for a leisurely read or rest. I really believe that rest is extremely important and outstandingly underrated in our society that has conditioned us to believe that we always \u201cmust\u201d and \u201cshould be\u201d doing, creating, and producing more. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Guilt-free rest has been the key to unlocking most of my creative and energetic blocks. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Typically, this is also when I\u2019ll begin getting hungry for my first solid meal of the day. <\/span><b>I really love the idea of cooking once and eating twice. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I will cook more than enough food for Dmitri and I for dinner to be sure that we have leftovers the next day for lunch. In order to make the meal feel fresh, I will add some ripe avocado and spring greens, which typically works for almost anything that I\u2019m having!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hit the Afternoon Refreshed, Energized and Inspired<br><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019ll get a new jolt of inspiration after lunch so I get back to work. I\u2019m a bit more energized in the afternoons so this is when I like to schedule recordings like podcasts and videos, create content for <strong style=\"font-size: inherit;\">my blog<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><strong style=\"font-size: inherit;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/theyogiyachtie\/\">Instagram<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, or do my own self-work like talking to my therapist and other coaches in my mastermind group.<\/span><br><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-7652 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.healthcoachinstitute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Copy-of-Dmitri-and-I-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">D<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">mitri is currently spending his time studying for a big exam he has in February. So after a full day of work and studies, we keep each other accountable to put it all down and spend quality time together. There\u2019s a ping-pong table where we are staying right now and it has been our jam! This time together, exercising and having fun, is my absolute joy. We always have great laughs, talk about how the day went, bounce ideas off each other for the next day, and as an added bonus my ping-pong skills are getting pretty good! So the game turns into a friendly competition that brings us even closer and allows us to get a sweat on without feeling like we\u2019re having to work for it. At this stage in my life, any movement that is fun is the only thing that I\u2019m interested in. Though I do enjoy the occasional HIIT workout or 20 minutes on the elliptical, pleasure is a non-negotiable for me when it comes to exercise. I find that throughout the day if I incorporate regular pleasant movement, I give myself permission to let go of the relentless and heavy mantra of \u201cI have to go to the gym.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img class=\"wp-image-7658 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.healthcoachinstitute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Root-Veggies-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"257\" height=\"343\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h2>Incorporate Quality Time with Your Significant Other<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Following afternoon movement together, we either make our way to the sauna or head home to shower and cook dinner. &nbsp;Dinnertime is also quality time together. We both love to cook and enjoy helping each other in the kitchen. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>One of my favorite go-to recipes, especially in autumn and winter, is a super simple root vegetable roast<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. I love beets, red or purple potatoes, onions, and carrots (you can literally add any other hearty veggie here)! I cut them into bite-sized chunks, lather them up with either coconut, avocado, or grapeseed oil (these oils are more stable at high temperatures) and season them with an herb seasoning salt, pepper, and whatever other spices I feel like grabbing at that time. Bake at 350 degrees for about 40ish minutes and voila! <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They should be hot and easy to stick a fork through. A couple of vegetables make plenty of food for dinner and there\u2019s always leftovers for the next day to heat up again or eat cold on a salad.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> <\/span><br><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-7659 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.healthcoachinstitute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Bath-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\"><\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Self-care is Not a Luxury, It's a Necessity<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Self-care is a buzzword that is currently used often in the world of health and wellness. For me, <\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Bm0-N8WDEMY\/\">self-care is<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> not a luxury, a reward for doing good\/eating well\/working out hard, expensive, or an added \u201cthing to do\u201d on my already long list. That\u2019s counter-productive. Self-care is a lifestyle that involves reflective awareness and is accommodating to my current needs. <\/span><b>It means that my daily choices are flexible, malleable, and consistently flowing with my dynamic, incredible body and vast emotions.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One practice that I use for self-care is super yummy and long <\/span><strong>Epsom Salt baths.<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> After dinner, I absolutely love filling my tub with 4 cups of Epsom Salt (I\u2019ll typically add 10 drops of essential oil to the salt) to soak. There are so many healing benefits and spiritual significance to pools of water, especially with salt, and for me, this is my time to give energy back to myself.<\/span><b> By filling my own cup in this way, I can then give from the overflow.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> It would be impossible for me to show up for my partner, clients, family, and friends the way that I do if I didn\u2019t take care of myself FIRST. &nbsp;<br><\/span><br><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We always end the night together with prayer. For us, it is imperative that we give thanks for all that we have and ask for guidance in our lives together.<\/span>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Final Thoughts on Living a Holistic Coaching Lifestyle<\/h2>\n<p><b><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-7657 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.healthcoachinstitute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Copy-of-Nice-Backpack-300x225.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\"><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Creating this life by design has been one of trial and error. &nbsp;<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We have worked hard and financially planned ahead in order to travel the way we do. I have learned that as long as I keep showing up, even if I\u2019m not 100% sure I know what I\u2019m doing, then I am putting forward energy into my business and my life. I am constantly reevaluating if the energy I am giving is coming back to me in a balanced way. Knowing one\u2019s worth (and sticking to it) is the magic ingredient to a downstream and abundant life. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If I am noticing that the scales of time and money are off, for example, if I have more free time than money or vice versa, I must make some adjustments to my output and where my focus is going. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Energy flows where attention goes. I am always asking myself, \u201cWhat is it that I want more of and what must I let go, in order to fully receive it?\u201d<\/span>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Connect with Chelsea!<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Instagram:<\/strong><br><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/theyogiyachtie\/\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/theyogiyachtie\/<\/a><\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<!-- wp:heading -->\n<h2 id=\"h-become-a-health-coach-in-6-months-with-health-coach-institute\">Become a Health Coach in 6 Months with Health Coach Institute<\/h2>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p id=\"h-become-a-health-coach-in-6-months-with-health-coach-institutecoaching-is-a-great-career-that-you-can-help-others-while-also-learning-how-to-help-your-own-personal-growth-health-coach-institute-is-a-top-health-and-wellness-coaching-certification-program-join-our-become-a-health-coach-program-and-begin-coaching-in-6-months-if-you-are-already-a-coach-and-want-to-advance-your-skills-check-out-hci-s-coach-mastery-program-feel-free-to-get-in-touch-with-with-one-of-our-clarity-coaches-directly-by-calling-1-800-303-2399\">Coaching is a great career that you can help others, while also learning how to help your own personal growth.
