Okay seriously t’is the season for some grounding, hearty goodness. With all the holiday craziness going on it’s really important to find some footing and keep ourselves stress free. What good are we when we are stressed anyway? I know I’m not my best self when under stress which is why I am making it my mission to breathe and meditate for at least 5 minutes every day.
I don’t like to use the term “curry” loosely. Not everything swimming in a sauce in Indian cuisine is considered a curry. Look on a menu at an Indian restaurant and you won’t really find that word listed anywhere. The word to me is just not sexy even though the flavors that are born from adding curry powder to various dishes can ultimately lead to something sweet, spicy, cozy, comforting and warming. Descriptive enough for you?
Have you ever noticed that when you feel some type or way or have a reaction towards something or someone, it’s automatically that person or that situation’s fault for making you feel that way? Okay, I know that sounded like a mouthful. But let’s think about it for a second. How freaking often do we blame others for how we feel or the reactions we have? ALL THE TIME. Why? Because it’s so easy to blame someone or attribute your feelings to someone else or something else instead of realizing that HELLO you are the one who feels these things because um…duh you are human and you FEEL THINGS.
No is one of the most powerful words in our vocabularies. To say no is to proclaim your power especially when it comes to declining something that can possibly drain or overwhelm you. I don’t think we truly realize how important it is for us to say “no” more often. We often overbook ourselves and do so much for other people that we forget to say yes to ourselves and our self care.
Tune in to my latest vlog all about saying no and how this is not only beneficial for your state of mind (hello sanity) but also your self care and freedom.
I am a huge fan of cooking once and eating twice but in this case I can cook once and eat about 5 or 6 times (okay, maybe just a bit of an exaggeration). I just moved last week so anything that is simple to make and keeps me from spending hours in the kitchen (not that I mind that either) is absolutely a God send.
