Simple Tips for Better Sleep

Simple Tips for Better Sleep
. RANT... Every time I hear someone tell me that they shouldn't eat something delicious because they don't want to gain weight, it honestly hurts my heart. 😪 . I've been thinking about food and weight loss quite a bit over the past several months, and as a result I've become acutely aware of how pervasive and often damaging diet culture really is. It's everywhere, and it's mainly targeted at women. It truly makes me sad when I hear women demean themselves when talking about their weight and how they look. . YOU ARE SO MUCH MORE THAN YOUR WEIGHT. Fixating on a number and forcing yourself to eat in ways that don't feel enjoyable or natural is not kind. It just isn't. Buying into the idea that losing weight creates a health gain is ridiculous when you're creating new, unhealthy mental habits and a stressful relationship with food in order to get there. There are so many factors to good health, and weight loss isn't necessarily one of them! . I'm not saying ALL weightloss is *bad*, and I'm not here to tell you what's best for YOU. All I'm saying is that hearing women around me talking so negatively about themselves because of their appearance has been both bringing me down and firing me up because I've been there myself. I know how it feels to have my value attached to something as superficial as my weight and size. It dims everything. . Your body is your soul's vessel. It is what allows you to experience this thing we call #LIFE. This realization changed everything for me, and I spend every day doing my best to honor and nourish my body daily with both good food AND good thoughts. . Despite what #dietculture wants me to believe about myself, I will choose instead to appreciate my body as it changes throughout the seasons of my life. Instead of focusing on losing weight and shrinking myself down, I'll be filling myself up with all of the joy and beauty I am blessed to be able to experience in this lifetime. . I hope you'll join me. #rantover . . . . . . #sunsoulwellness #selfappreciation #letyoursoulshine #healthateverysize
. Learning about myself has gifted me with a profound sense of #empowerment. The more I understand my tendencies, my preferences, my needs, my emotions, my talents, and my personality the more confident I feel in taking care of myself, drawing necessity boundaries, and making important decisions. . I've learned recently that I thrive when I have a set routine/schedule, but that I also need to set time aside for a leisure and commit to it. I've learned daily exercise is a must for me in order to manage my anxiety. I've come to understand and accept that my sensitivity is one my most powerful traits, in both good and not-so-good ways. I need space and quiet when I'm overwhelmed, and honoring those needs no longer brings me guilt or shame or feelings of "missing out". I've come to realize that water is the best thing for me when I need soothing, and that laughing and play are my greatest medicines. . The more I seek to learn about who I am, the more I love and accept all of my unique qualities. This is still very much a work in progress, but I feel much more grounded and calm when I choose to live in alignment with my personality and my needs. . And the more I learn, the more curious I become. What else is there to discover? 🌊 . . . . . . . . . . #sunsoulspirit #mentalhealth #anahata #selfdiscovery #HSP #highlysensitiveperson
. Home sweet home and back to my kitchen ❤ I love travelling, and I also love the feeling of returning to my cozy bed and home cooked meals after a long trip. . Our time in Costa Rica was full of adventures, both fun and challenging. I learned how to surf, woke up to the sound of howler monkeys every morning, and ate my weight in rice, beans, and plantains. It was exactly what I needed, and now I'm home feeling refreshed. . Lemon pepper #tofu, #kale, and brown rice for a simple, nourishing dinner to welcome us back to home and winter. I miss the heat and humidity of Costa Rica already 🌴 . . . . . . . #sunsoulwellness #plantstrong #eatyourgreens #plantbaseddiet
. Chasing waterfalls 💧 This place is well known by the locals here, but the sign directing towards it was purposely hung upside down and facing away from the road. It wasn't easy to find, and I had to talk to four different to people before we finally found it. . This waterfall pool is magical, and the secrecy adds to the wonder of it all. Not tagging the location because places like this deserve the effort of the discovery 💙
. Spending the week in Costa Rica and am so loving all the rice, beans, and plantains we have been eating here 😋 . Internet is spotty, and we don't have cell service. Oh, and our Airbnb is at the end of a dirt road at the top of a mountain, so this trip has been offered me a much needed time to unplug . Three more days of jungle, sunshine, ocean, and rice & beans #puravida 🌴 . . . . . . . .
. Three years ago today I was in Thailand practicing yoga, thousands of miles away from family. For 30 days we began our mornings with a contemplation on #gratitude. Every morning I sat with gratitude, and it was almost as if I could physically FEEL my heart swelling. To this day I make an effort to sit with gratitude, to let it permeate my soul and illuminate my spirit. Today and every day, I'm grateful for my #health, my strong body, my human-ness, and of course my family. Because even when it gets hard (and man, has this year been hard), there is always so much to learn. Letting gratitude light the way, we can keep our eyes focused on the teachings that are being offered to us each and every day. . Today I'm especially #thankful for this quiet morning I've had on my mat before we head off to be with our family. Sending you all so much love this #Thanksgiving day! 🧡💛❤ . . . . . . . . . . #gratitudeeveryday #yogaeverydamnday #sunsoulspirit #shineyourlight #sirsasana
. Two things I'm loving lately: 1) My Instant Pot 2) #CARBS 😍😋 . Seriously though, my baby turned into a toddler all of the sudden, and I feel like I have to be in 6 places at once 🤯🤣. Lately meals have been one pot wonders with rice and sometimes rice AND roti bread. . And this dinner? My favorite yet! Lentil #dal 😍 with lots of cilantro. The flavors, the heartiness, and not to mention the protein and plant-based iron make this meal a complete and total WINNER. Hubs doesn't like lentils (booo) but he ate this, which means it's going to be on repeat over here 💃 . Unrelated to carbs but still very relevant, my absence from IG has been both unintentional and somewhat intentional. My son wants my phone every time I grab it, so I basically have it hidden all day long. That makes posting anything pretty difficult 😂. However, the longer I was I was away, the less I felt called to come back. I plan to still keep posting and sharing more recipes and things soon, but for now, I'm enjoying this IG hiatus 😊. Anyone else feel called for a social media break lately?! . . . . . . . #sunsoulwellness #plantpowered #motherhoodjourney #instantpotlove #meatfreemonday
. "I don't know exactly what a prayer is. I do know how to pay attention, how to fall down into the grass, how to kneel down in the grass, how to be idle and blessed, how to stroll through the fields, which is what I have been doing all day. Tell me, what else should I have done? Doesn't everything die at last, and too soon? Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?" —Mary Oliver 🌲🍃 . . . . . . . . #sunsoulspirit #maryoliver #naturetherapy #optoutside
