Anyone can become a mindful eater and here are my 3 top tips to help grow your mindful eating practice.

🍎Sit down at mealtime and before your first bite take 3 deep centering breathes.
🥑allow at least 20 minutes to enjoy your meal, slowing down promotes better overall digestion
🥦only eat until you are about 80% full

Save this post for later and let me know if you were able to take these small steps to a more mindful eating practice!

Well today was one of those days!
Dinner was planned
studying and work was done
laundry done and folded
kids were snacking and content
It was a productive day!!
and then......... chaos strikes
my youngest comes running into my room crying and bleeding(picture after I bandaged it up so no one gets grossed out)
now if this would've occurred at a different point in my life, the rest of the day would've gone much differently but I have gained the tools and resiliency to realize sometimes you just have to pivot and it will be ok! Changes to our day doesn't always have to be a chaotic experience, dinner got made it wasn't what I planned but it was still quick and healthy, my other child still got to his extra curricular activity and the night still ended with everyone home and safe in their beds.
Motherhood is a journey you're going to have these days❤️

Today's card brought up a great reflection moment.
Why do we hold onto relationships or things that no longer serve us or we have outgrown?
⇢Is it fear of change?
⇢fear of the unknown?
⇢is it even fear at all?
⇢have you just not realized the season is over yet?
⇢is it to painful?
and what if it is all of the above? can we switch these questions to statements?
☀️change is a good thing, when we learn to be comfortable feeling uncomfortable is when we grow.
☀️The unknown does not have to be feared but can be used as a moment to be curious and ask questions
Sometimes people or things are only with us for a season or a few seasons and that is ok.
To truly question the emotion, the feelings in the moment and sit with them is when your breakthrough can happen !
like the quote says " Nothing changes until it changes"
would love to hear if anything from this resonated with you? feel free to connect with me and let's start a conversation

Today's tip is for the frustrated moms!
Are you tired of hearing
I don't know where it goes?
I didn't know it went there?
Labels are your new best friend and if your kids are not reading yet use pictures as the label ! This also holds your child accountable and teaches them vital life skills of responsibility and organization if they don't put it back properly the first time ask them to find where it goes and try again!
Keeping things organized and tidy is your first line of defense for keeping your sanity as a busy mama❤️.
also if you need help getting organized or some inspiration here's a recommendation of an account I follow

If you would have asked me even a week ago who is Christina? my simple answer would've been ,I'm a mom , a wife, ,a daughter , a sister and a Friend.
Well let me re-introduce myself world!!!

I embrace the weird and playful side of myself
I Embrace vulnerability and sitting with the hard emotions
I Value an uplifting & space holding community around me
I am learning and growing everyday
but most of all I am unapologetically & authentic ME!!
I Am POWERFUL

My thought today was I feel as if I can move in a hundred different directions but not knowing where to start or where to focus? this card was so fitting and exactly what I needed this morning! It again reassures me that my answers are always found if I go within and stop searching for validation or answers from the outer world. anyone else ever have this feeling and struggle with trusting yourself???
would love to hear your views in the comments?

Today I'm celebrating this huge accomplishment!
I started my better living journey approx 7 or 8 years ago but quitting smoking for some reason was never on that list! with lots of inner work on myself i now understand why, it was a life coping mechanism that at that point in time i just wasn't ready to let go of! I thought it made me happy, I thought it gave me the stress relief I always needed and the biggest one it kept me in a social circle I thought it gave me a sense of belonging. Then 5 years ago at 1 month postpartum with my final child the realization hit
" 🅸︎ 🅲︎🅰︎︎🅽︎ 🅳︎🅾︎︎ 🅱︎︎🅴︎🆃︎🆃︎🅴︎🆁︎"
I was given the gift of good health even though i had not really nurtured it, now time to stop wasting it! Thru working on fixing my brain health and my nutrition I have been able to change so many things in my everyday life!
So if you have read this far and any of this sounds like you for any addiction you may be battling reach out lets chat because you to CAN DO BETTER!
I believe in you even if you don't believe in yourself!

So I did something totally out of my comfort zone today and had to share my experience because I believe so many of us feel the same way, but when you're in it you think I am the only one who feels this way!!
In my course today on zoom in front of others I volunteered first to speak! it was to practice coaching in a way I had never had too before and I have to say it was nerve wracking, uncomfortable and caused all doubt in myself that I have experienced to come rushing back!! But guess what??? I got thru it.
I put my all into it and when the exercise finished it felt amazing because I had just validated to myself that I am totally ready for the next chapter in my life!!!
When we want something to change and we want to grow or achieve that dream we just need to jump all in and go for it, get comfortable with the uncomfortable😄😄

OMG this was so good!! Summer chickpea soup. This is a must try, the fresh herbs add so much flavor. the kids loved it to!!
