How to Meal Prep like a Pro
If you’ve been on social media lately, and you’re the kind of person that follows a bunch of food accounts, you may notice that “meal prep” is all the rage. Why? Because it makes your busy life easier and more nutritious. How? Well, instead of constantly turning to takeout options and/or spending every morning, afternoon and night creating a new meal every time you’re hungry, meal prepping provides you with prepared food for the week or for a few days. It also takes away the humming and hawing about what to have for breakfast/lunch/dinner every day which can waste valuable time. Having prepared, healthy food sets you up for success and cuts out the possibility of resorting to poor food options. The photo above is actually a collection of meal prepped foods that I had on hand in the fridge. I was able to make a fresh salad by picking and choosing a few of the prepped options I had, threw them on some arugula. It was delicious and I put it together in about 5 minutes.
How to Deal with Overwhelm and Unexpected Life Events
You recently made changes to your lifestyle and the benefits are showing—you feel amazing! You have been doing your best to stick to your (new) routine and it has been hard work to even maintain a routine. Everything seems to be going well with your new lifestyle, but Life seems to have other plans for you. Out of the blue, an unexpected event happens; a death in the family, your spouse loses their job, your friend is getting divorced and needs a place to stay, you got a promotion at work which includes more responsibility and devoted time but you can’t keep up—does any of this sound like you? If not in these specific circumstances, have you ever had a time in you life where everything seemed to be going well and then all of a sudden you get side swiped and your sense of normalcy is almost non-existent?
5 Ways to Get Through Cold Weather and Enjoy it!
Although Winter is technically done, the chilly weather can’t seem to decide whether it should stay or go. Thankfully, there has been a good amount of sunshine this past winter which can definitely have a positive affect on your mood! Even though I’m a winter baby (my birthday is January 25!) and I love some cozy nights in with a good snowfall, like everyone else I start to feel at this point of the year that it’s time for a change. Whether that means a change in season, giving yourself new challenges (how are those New Year’s Resolutions? wink wink, nudge nudge), or going on a trip to a sunny destination, it’s important that you check in with yourself. What does that mean? Well, a variety of things, actually.
Meditation/Medication
Some weeks ago, I had a funny encounter in a store on the Danforth. I had a great day up to that point; the weather was lovely, I walked all around the Danforth, took in a lot of sunshine and felt energized. After doing my walk about the store, I went to get in line and noticed there was a man in front of me who had stepped outside of the line-up to look at something. No longer lined up, I walked past him to the line-up.
