Creativity expands far beyond this one specific area, and into nearly every aspect of our lives. While it may be true that some people are more “creative” than others and some may even identify as “not creative at all,” I’d love to challenge that narrative.
In what ways are you creative?
What are some new creative approaches you’d like to apply to your life?
In what ways have you always been creative and maybe didn’t realize it?
I can't stop making these, they are like healthy banana bread for breakfast! They are simple, delicious, vegan, gluten free, sugar free, wholefood, and quite unbelievable!
As the year comes to an end, I love to think about what has happened as a whole in the last 12 months. While some aspects of the end of the year can feel awfully close to the beginning, it’s important to give credit where it’s due in all you’ve done for yourself and/or those around you.
If you're still going strong on eating tasty seasonal fruit like pumpkins, check out this simple, easy, and delicious recipe for a lentil curry. To save you time, I'll lay out the recipe first and share my thoughts around it at the end. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I have!
With just a little bit of practice, the extra time really adds up! Not to mention, on the days when you need to make everything and you have no free time, you can jump for joy knowing you won’t need to do it all over again tomorrow.. or the next day… or the next day.
Whether you are planning your meals for one day, one week, or making staples you can have available for you weeks ahead of time, it is beneficial to brainstorm a little. Getting options out in the open and seeing how much food and how frequently you want to cook will show you how simple and straight forward it can be. I’ll leave you with some ideas to try out while you’re preparing to get going in the kitchen this season.
As one season ends and another arrives, it’s a great time to evaluate what your meals look like and how you’d like them to improve. Whether it’s your seasonal job(s) coming to an end, a new school year ahead of you or someone you live with, or you feel pleasant or unpleasant about the weather changing, it’s a great time to practice heathy habits, like home-cooking.
What is your favorite meal to prep?
Do you prefer to prep the same meal for the week or switch it up day-by-day?
What is your favorite part of preparing food?
There are so many different reasons people love to go for walks or runs, and under such different circumstances. The cycles of the seasons of life have a way of shifting interests, patterns, and priorities. Adapting to these changes is natural and means we won’t always be doing all the things we want to do. It doesn’t make us any less, or mean we’ve failed. It doesn’t mean we don’t care about those things, or that we lack the discipline to be consistent. The only shoes you need to fill are YOURS!
It's safe to say that most people would love to be healthier. To live longer, stronger lives with enough energy to accomplish their dreams… or even just to do more fun activities without excess weight, pain, or chronic diseases getting in the way. For me it has taken a while, listening as my body evolves over time to understand what works for me, and I’m still far from finished on the journey. In the earlier years of becoming more health-conscious, I made small changes that felt huge! But, what appeared to be better options were sneaky mirages on the healing path ahead.
