“A Goddess trusts in the world that she’s constantly creating with her thoughts. She will have risen to the level where “what if” and overthinking has been drowned out by confident thoughts of “it will happen.” She knows she will eventually end up with what she set out to get and doesn’t impatiently break while waiting for it to manifest.”

Non-cutesy self-care tips

Have you been eating well? If not, eat a piece of fruit or a handful of nuts. You need vitamins and protein.

You’re probably not drinking enough water.

When is the last time you showered? Take a cold shower to wake you up or a hot shower if you need to relax.

Do the laundry that’s been piling up. You’ve been wearing that sweatshirt for too long.

Take care of the dishes in the sink that have been there for three days and have started to stress you out.

Did you brush your teeth this morning? How about your hair?

Listen to the messages on your phone that have been there for days.

Go outside for at least a couple of minutes. You don’t even have to do anything; just sit down. Breathe in the fresh air and get some vitamin D.

Open your blinds. Your room is too dark and it’s probably making you tired.

Spend some time with your pet. Pet them, feed them, take them for a walk or clean out their litter box. Caring for them will make you feel useful and responsible and give you something to do.

The self-care posts that tell you to take a bath and eat chocolate and read a book are good but do what needs to be done first. Eating chocolate when you haven’t showered in four days and you can’t remember when the last time you changed your underwear was won’t make you feel better. It will probably make you feel worse. Clean yourself up; clean your surroundings up. Then take care of the little things. Tackle life one thing at a time.

In my transitioning back to plant based I've also been practicing 𝗭𝗘𝗥𝗢 𝗪𝗔𝗦𝗧𝗘! Ive been buying a shit ton of produce only for it to spoil at the speed of light. I did some research and this is what I found,

• Leafy greens need to be rinsed this placed on a towel then once dried rolled up to catch any access moisture.

• cucumbers, tomatoes and avocado should be stored at room temp **𝗮𝘃𝗼𝗰𝗮𝗱𝗼 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗯𝗲 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗴𝗲 𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗱 𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗹 𝗿𝗶𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀. This will stop it from ripening anymore.

• potatos and onions should not be stored near one another. Onions let off a gas that sprouts potatos prematurely.

• citrus fruits should be in a humidity control drawer. That drawer setting should be 𝗟𝗢𝗪.

• veggies should also be in a humidity control drawer. That drawer setting should be 𝗛𝗜𝗚𝗛.

• fresh herbs should be stored in a glass or jar with cold water to extend their life span.

These are a few things I recently learned to extended my food life span. I hope this helps you 🌱
