THIS 🍲 👈🏼 When I feel overwhelmed, I do this. When I feel short on time, I do this. When I want a little reset for my brain and body, I do this. When I want to comfort friends and family, welcome new babies, celebrate special milestones - I do this.⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
I get in the kitchen and cook. ⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
My go-to is a big batch of comforting stew. ⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
Why would spending time cooking actually help with overwhelm or having a full schedule? ⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
It's like saying to myself 'you're worth it' when I open the fridge to nourishing, comforting food already done for me. ⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
Cozying on up to a warm bowl of homemade food is like salve to the soul at the end of a long day.
⁣⁣⁣⁣
Friends, when times are feeling uncertain and scary, one thing we can do is look after ourselves just a little more, and it's simple things like this that can do just that.⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
p.s. Get the recipe for this hearty stew, along with more recipes to save you time, in my book 'Calm Mornings'. 🍲 Shop yours link in my bio -> [@solefirewellness]⁣⁣⁣⁣

For International Women’s Day, I want to recognise the women leading with integrity, intelligence, independence, generosity, flexibility, light-heartedness and self-awareness... ⁣to name a few.
⁣
Thank you incredible women for embodying these traits amongst your families, friends and communities. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
To the women who have each other's backs even behind the scenes, when things get a little messy, and not just when the camera’s flashing. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Here's to the kind of woman who has your back so hard that she'll get a dedicated #glutenfreetoaster for her house and label it just for you. Let’s endeavor to show that kind of support for our fellow women, in whatever form it unfolds. (Ps thanks Mom 😉)⁣⁣⁣

🤨BORING. TIME CONSUMING. SITTING LOTUS POSITION

🤨BORING. TIME CONSUMING. SITTING LOTUS POSITION CHANTING WITH CANDLES <-- All things Mindful Eating is not. 🙅🏼‍♀️🙅🏾‍♀️🙅🏻‍♀️ ⁣
⁣
I bang on about mindful eating because it's made such a difference in my own life, as well as my 1:1 clients. ⁣
⁣
But when I first breach the topic, assumptions are often: it's boring, wishy-washy or there's no time for it. ⁣
⁣
When in actuality, Mindful Eating takes a mere few seconds to minutes of time, requires no formalities or woo, and pays DIVIDENDS to your digestion, nutrient absorption, bloating and overall wellness.⁣
⁣
So I invite you to simply take notice if you're distracted, tense, or rushed during your meals today. It all starts with awareness.⁣
⁣
MIND FULL vs MINDFUL... which side of the spectrum are you on? 🤯😌 ⁣

So, I let myself down. Autumn officially began yes

So, I let myself down. Autumn officially began yesterday and I didn’t make it to the beach once during summer 😐 ⁣⁣... since I live close-ish to some of the most beautiful beaches in the world, it feels a bit silly that I haven’t had a chance amongst the busyness of life.
⁣⁣⁣
Fair, I was away overseas (freezing my toes off!) for half of the Aussie summer, but that’s made me crave sun and beach even more. There are few things as rejuvenating as a dip in the salt water, ya know?⁣ (and I don’t take this privilege for granted!)
⁣⁣⁣⁣
I’m hearing from members in our community that the transition toward the shorter days and cooler weather can be tough. Especially with the viral concerns and bushfires - it’s all feeling a little heavy.⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
What helps me feel grounded at times like these? ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Keeping up with my daily routines and moments of pause that help me feel calm and centered. ⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
The purpose of daily routines or rituals isn’t to add another thing to my to-do list but simply remind me to stay in tune with what my body and mind need, and especially during times of transition and stress.⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
One of my fav easy rituals is taking a moment first thing upon waking to expose my eyes to daylight. To go outside and really take in the light (don’t look directly at the sun though), breathe the fresh air and let my circadian rhythm know my day is starting. ⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
You can take it a little further here and even list off in your head or in a journal a couple things you’re grateful for. ⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
What sort of routines and rituals are you using to support yourself this season? Tell me 👇🏼

👆That time I brought bone broth to a garden par

👆That time I brought bone broth to a garden party wedding. Here’s the thing - so much about living a healthy life means letting go of what other people think of you. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Being OK with the funny side-eye looks or labeled as 'different' 🙂⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣
These days it doesn’t phase me, but back 15 years ago when I first started eating for health and making big lifestyle changes, I worried *so much* about what other people thought of me, and for good reason.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
There were more than a few unsupportive remarks made by some friends and family at first. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
But you just gotta do you. No matter what they say. It's all good. Do the stuff that makes you feel great.⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Because you’re the only one you've got to live with. Your body is the one you need to carry you through this life.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣
So bring your own snacks to the party, or catch up with friends over a walk instead of drinks, or take time for an actual lunch break to eat a full meal.⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Reality is this: anyone who makes a snarky comment is just dealing with their own stuff about their need for acceptance, it ain't nothing personal 🙅🏻⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
So own it. Not everyone has the guts to do what you do. Taking care of yourself despite the circumstances is a bold and brave move.⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
I’ll be over here cheersing you with my bone broth all the way 🍻 ⁣⁣

~ Roasted Heirloom Carrots & Creamy Tahini Dressing ~⁣
⁣
First I whipped up my Creamy Tahini Dressing (recipe on my website, link in bio @solefirewellness) but halved the liquid, and added some extra gut goodness in the form of 2 tsp @gevityrx_ ‘Lemon & Herb’ Bone Broth Body Glue (their ‘Natural' flavour would work well here too).⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Then you'll need 1-2 bunches of heirloom baby carrots (rinse and pat dry), 1 bunch of kale (de-stemmed and coarsely chopped), @livethecocolife avocado oil and @maldonsalt. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
↠ Pre-heat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and put a steamer pot of water on the boil. Lay carrots out on a baking tray, coat generously in oil and salt, spread evenly on the tray. Roast for 15 minutes, flip the carrots over and roast another 15 minutes until golden brown and soft.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
↠ Meanwhile, once water is boiling on the stove, add kale to the steamer pot and cook until wilted and bright green, about 5 minutes. Set aside.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
↠ Plate up and ENJOY! ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I topped mine with sesame seeds, sprouts and a pinch more sea salt for some fun textures. Feel free to top with whatever you like ✨⁣⁣
