Foodie Friday…Chia Pudding

In my recent post ‘Why’ I shared with you how I’ve really had to dig deep these past 2 years in processing some really well tucked away childhood memories.  From that experience, as ugly as it was, I’ve learned a whole lot more – about myself and about my health.

Some of those things are…

  1. Keep it simple – Sometimes listening to podcasts and reading can be empowering and educational, other times it can be sabotaging!  If it consumes you, you find yourself always looking for an answer from somewhere external, other than within, then from my experience – go back to basics, connect with some real simplicity in your life, learn to say ‘No, Thank You’, shut out some noise, give yourself some space and time and focus on one thing at a time.  Be patient.
  2. Stay connected – The greatest gift to yourself is to love you, first – authentically, without judgement.  Easier said than done right!!! I do get that.  With continual practice though, it is possible.  So, staying connected with yourself is an essential tool for self love.  Learning the harmony of seeking outside professional help when needed and then also being real and honest with yourself and doing the inner work – sometimes the best way to resolve this is actually have a real, honest conversation with yourself.
  3. Listen to you, your intuition – You know, that little inner voice, that when we take the time, it’s so empowering for us.

 

Point 1 above, ‘Keep it simple’ leads me to my recipe sharing today.  Part of what I’ve done recently is said to myself ‘ok, let’s take it back to basics, keep it simple’ and continue on the path that had me at such optimum health a few years back.  Stop looking for a solution, you already have it!

I know that being the best version of you is more than what you nourish on, it’s also about your state of mind.  What we nourish on though, can either fuel our body or create a toxic environment for us to live.  It’s a choice, right?

Hope you enjoy some time in the kitchen this weekend, nourishing yourself.  Click on the link below to enjoy the chia pudding recipe.  Super easy and yummy!
