When grocery shopping, I always create a list that will accumulate into the dishes I will be making that week.
I like to write down the different combinations I can make with the groceries I will be buying that week.
I.E.: Blackbean Tacos, Black Bean Fiesta Bowl, Huevos Ranchero w/ Black Bean. 3 different combinations with one ingredient.
It helps you eat more freely while still planning out what you want to make that week.
When cooking chicken, make sure it is fully defrosted. I know that seems self-explanatory, but hey we gotta start somewhere!
Also, to make it easier on yourself, cube the chicken. Most of the time people mess chicken up when cooking the breast whole, this is okay because it is hard to nail chicken the first time. So to help you cook it better, cube it so it can cook faster and easier for you.
take time every week to pamper yourself: take a bath, shave, do a face mask, do a hair mask, self-tan etc. DO WHAT MAKES YOU FEEL GOOOD!
spend time in the sun; wear sunscreen pls.
get ready for yourself!! it makes you feel great and why the f*ck not!
a quick reminder to be YOUR own human; be yourself and be there for yourself.
It’s okay to be alone, learn to embrace it. It is one of the best ways to learn about yourself and who you are.
be your authentic self because how is someone supposed to learn who you are if you don’t even know?
water chestnuts
I think in this day we often feel the need to be okay all the time. I am here to say it’s okay to admit you are not okay. I know it is hard to say, trust me I ignore it too. However, the best thing you can do for yourself is showing up and being there for you. It sounds weird, but it truly will help you. You have to be as nice to yourself as you would be to your friend or significant other. Accept and feel your feelings. Listen to your body and treat yourself nicely. Be patient.
