𝐑𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐝𝐚𝐲𝐬 . . .⠀ ⠀ . . . one thing I've been trying hard to master throughout all of this is the art of staying positive ・ But the last few days have felt like a struggle, something I touched on on my IG stories yesterday ・ I've been struggling with my body image and confidence, I've been struggling to stay motivated and I've been struggling to stay calm and compassionate.⠀ ⠀ When these 'periods' of struggle occur, I also inevitably start battling with an internal monologue about privilege ・ I am one of the lucky ones; I have my good health and can still live a relatively normal life filled with movement and adventure, I have a roof over my head and a garden in which I can enjoy Mother Nature's greatest gift (Spring) and I have Mr D to snuggle up to when times feel hard.⠀ ⠀ I was in two minds as whether to post this or not today as I didn't want to come across as negative - but I decided that showing that these emotions are 100% normal and human was more important ・ We have to accept the rough with the smooth now more than ever before, tomorrow is a new day.⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #chattycaptioncommunity #happyselves #happyselveschallenge #healthyselves #alwaysbekind #stillwithstories #hellostoryteller #thehonestlens #beboundless #make_more_magic #seethegram #dreaminginpictures #reclaimingvulnerability #momentsthatmattertome #theartofslowliving #theslowdowncollective #thesimpleeveryday #myslowandsimple #myslowandwild #joyspotting #makingmyhaven #makingmyownmagic #slowsimpleseasonal #asecondofwhimsy #folkscenery #calmversation #agentlehugforthesoul #nestandflourish #nestandthrive #whimsicalwonderfulwild (at Halifax, West Yorkshire) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_PZK5ThHuf/?igshid=yhq0r49znvat

T H E P O P E Y E E F F E C T 💪🏼 It’s time for another nutritional nugget girls & boys ... and today I’m talking about my bae Spinach • I honestly add Spinach into most dishes because not only is it delicious, it is packed with a shed load of goodness too!⠀ ⠀ Take this Saag Masala for example - this portion of Spinach adds almost 3grams of additional fibre and protein to the meal • In fact Spinach is one of the most nutrient dense leafy green vegetables you can eat • And aside from its high protein content, spinach can increase antioxidant defences and reduce inflammation ... so it’s perfect after a long run for me!⠀ ⠀ We are consistently told we are what we eat and meals like this are often touted by “experts” as treat or cheat meals • This dish is less than 500 calories, is low in saturated fats and high in protein and fibre • It’s a balanced meal, filled with nutrient dense ingredients!⠀ ⠀ If we are what we eat - imma gonna be looking like Popeye in no time with all this Spinach I’m eating!⠀ ⠀ What’s your go to ingredient that goes in EVERYTHING you make?! #reallifeandstyle #myselflovestyle #discoverunder2k #healthyselves⠀ (at Halifax, West Yorkshire) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwWIn1gh0Lm/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=7kt2i7rzxvlo
