This week we kicked it off mindfully! On Monday’s #DoGoodFeelGood we had special guest Shanut Anaut, also known as @Shanutxo for our #MindfulHour. Shanut discussed the importance and power of mindset. She talked to us about the time, energy and effort it goes into developing mental wellness and how important it is.
Shanut is a Miami local and was born and raised in South Florida. As a little girl, she recalls being a ball of energy and how she still manages to remain so energetic. She expresses gratitude for her grandmother who instilled healthy habits for her as a young girl. Her grandmother, who is a Cuban native helped raise her. Shaunt adapted mental wellness from her grandmother who always empowered her to use her mind and think positively.
Shanut currently has ventured out in different professions which she is passionate about. She is in real estate, a dancer instructor for The Vixen Workout and leads a girl gang for Monat products. It was insightful to watch and hear how Shanut made it to where she is today and how she wants to steer the younger generation to learn about the importance of mental welless.
