Break bread your body and soul will thank you

When was the last time you ‘broke bread’ with your family, friends, workmates, anyone??

Really ‘broke bread’. Laid the table, got the best china out!! Took time and cooked your food with love and sat around a table with people you really wanted to share with ……………

Food is about sharing, passion, love, laughter, humanity, honesty a connection between souls – when was the last time you connected

Today make a plan call someone, call friends, have them over, cook with love and connect, you will feel so much joy for it – it’s the ‘pitch and catch’ of life

“Feasting is the flame in mid-winter,that kindles the fire of friendship and strengthens the community”

Whether they are cultural gatherings, times of group worship, or even special dinners with friends, we all need moments where we come together and reaffirm the importance of our group.

The cheer that we feel is essential both to the collective and the individuals involved. The affirmation of the group should not be a sublimation of the individual but rather a framework for involvement. A good gathering requires participation the efforts of organization, work, and attendance and in turn gives back sustenance for body and soul, a sense of belonging and the accomplishment of something that could not be done by individuals alone

Add Essential Oils for your Heatlh

I hear it all the time ‘I want to be fitter’ when in fact what we really mean is we want to be slimmer/ look better. Of course, we all want to look and feel better – but not at the expense of our ‘health’ -Health is so much more than a physical image or numbers on a scale. As Health Coach I believe ‘healthier’ is more than the sum of how slim we look or any number on a scale – being ‘healthier’ is three dimensional – 3D – it’s about eating nutritious foods, that allow your body and mind to thrive. It all starts with nutrition you just cannot train your body or ‘run’ out of bad or poor eating habits. From my personal perspective it’s about the nutrient quality of the foods – keeping our ‘guts’ healthy to keep our immune system healthy, that in turn provides us with the physical and psychological energy that motivates us to move, be more active, cope with stress, be social interactive and enjoy life’s little and big adventures As well as eating n...

Push yourself beyond your limits

“As difficult as your toughest workout may be, you will not perish from the discomfort you experience. In fact, pushing yourself to new limits is what makes you stronger and better able to handle more stress in the future. Most people never come close to their actual limits and often quit when challenges are very difficult. Moving forward, challenge yourself to give 100% effort at every difficult workout that you are faced with. If you consistently do this, you will learn how to never accept failure as an option.” Nav Vii
