What I’m Eating, Moving, and Loving This Week
Hi friends,
This week has felt like the perfect blend of gentle movement, delicious summer flavors, and small rituals that keep me feeling anchored. I hope wherever you are, you’re finding tiny pockets of calm and moments that make you smile.
Here’s a little peek into what’s been nourishing me lately:
Eating: Berry Basil Breeze Smoothie
It’s been warm here, and my body has been craving something cool, bright, and fresh. Lately, I’ve been reaching for my Berry Basil Breeze Smoothie, a simple blend of:
1 cup frozen blueberries
A handful of fresh basil leaves
½ banana
½ cup coconut water
Juice of half a lemon
1 tablespoon hemp seeds for a gentle protein boost
The basil adds a surprising freshness that makes the whole smoothie taste like summer. Plus, blueberries are bursting with antioxidants that help calm inflammation and keep me feeling energized.
If you’ve been looking for something new for your mornings, this might be your next favorite ritual.
Moving: Gentle Morning Stretches
Movement has been soft and simple for me this week. I’ve been starting my days with gentle stretching for about ten minutes:
Neck rolls
Shoulder circles
Cat-cow stretches
A few slow standing forward folds
Nothing intense, just small ways to remind my body that it’s safe and supported. These few minutes help loosen the tightness I sometimes wake up with and give my mind a peaceful start to the day.
Loving: The Ritual of Morning Pages
One cozy ritual that’s been grounding me lately is writing Morning Pages. It’s nothing fancy, just three pages of free-writing every morning. No rules, no grammar worries, just thoughts on paper.
Some days, I pour out frustrations. Other days, it’s gratitude lists or small ideas that spark joy. It feels like giving my mind a gentle de-cluttering session so I can start the day lighter.
There’s something incredibly healing about letting my thoughts spill out without judgment. It’s a small act, but it helps me feel more connected to myself — and more at home in my body.
If you try the smoothie, the stretches, or even Morning Pages, I’d love to know how they feel for you.
Wishing you a weekend filled with gentle moments, delicious meals, and rituals that help you feel nourished inside and out.
