Life is now!

It’s so easy to forget about what actually is good for you. It’s so important to look after yourself. After too many bugs (new country?) I’ve decided to focus on my health even more. In goes vitamins, more water, vegetables, fruits and positive thoughts and thinking. Body & mind as they do go hand in hand. Don’t neglect. A great start to my morning with apple cider vinegar water, eggs and before that a detox session with Adriene. Sometimes with exercise the most challenging thing is to show up- don’t you think? That’s what I love about Yoga with Adriene- you just need your mat- and will power to show up- anywhere anytime. Self control as well helps and determination- to feel good in your skin! I really recommend.

Detox Yoga – a sweaty cleansing practice.

Start the day for you!!!

A new week and we are ready to let it begin!

Focus this week will be to renew- a bit like the first day of a new year. Cleaning away, clearing up, deleting emails, apps on the iPhone, find new news sources, move folders- a spring clean- a new mind- reset!

Vision- a new beginning, healthier choices, better eating, more water. Healthy mind and a healthy body. To feel comfortable in my own skin. It doesn’t come for free. You do need to work at it. Simple as that! Eat well, exercise and get plenty of rest. Be comfortable with who you are! Ahum… 🙏🏻😌

Goal- to make it through the week. Last week then some well deserved holiday, family and friends time! 5 more work days…

Affirmation- I can because I say I can. Just… like… that…

Spring- is here! What better flower represents spring than tulips? Simple but so complicated in a way- and beautiful. They come in many different colours. I love them! So beautiful. Today, my affirmation is:

I’m in charge- and I decide and aim for gratitude and calmness 🙏🏻.

Relaxing, me time, daughter time, good food, walks, yoga, deep breathing and some time with friends!

Weekend is here- make the most of it! Make it yours! I recommend.

When you’re not really feeling 100% I really recommend this Yoga for concentration with Adriene. She really is so good at what she does!

I also tend to read some Swedish bloggers. There are quite a few there. One I do like is this one: Matplatsen with a lot of recommendations about food, cooking, clothes and so on. Yesterday I tried a simple but delicious dish I want to recommend.

Chicken cashew so easy and quick to do!

800 gr chicken (breast or thigh)

1 broccoli

2 carrots

1 red pepper

Garlic

1 small bottle of oyster sauce

3 tbs brown sugar

1 1/2 dl water

Salt & pepper

Start by frying the chicken, then add the chopped vegetables and stir until lightly coloured. Add the oyster sauce, water and sugar and mix. Let it simmer 5-7 minutes. Check that the chicken is done!

You can of course add other vegetables such as red onion, mini corn, sugar snap peas etc. Serve with Jasmin rice. It is very tasty, quite healthy and quick to make!

What are you focusing on this week? For me it’s to stop worrying: you can’t change yesterday, but you can ruin today by worrying about tomorrow! How true isn’t that saying? I think a lot of us spend unnecessary time giving focus to wrong things such as unnecessary worries! Stop that right now!

My vision right now is walking barefoot on a warm beach, sand weeping through my toes and a nice cool breeze grabbing a hold of a few hair strands. My daughter playing in the sea and just creating beautiful memories together!

Goal right now is to take one thing at a time; slowly but surely reach my goals- I have a lot of them!!!

Affirmation; take deep breaths. When in stressful moments try the Lions breath! It really does miracles to your mind and soul. In the beginning, yes, you might feel a bit silly but it really works! So… deep breathes. Such a simple thing.

I really recommend! Go and have an awesome week!!!
