This drink not only looks beautiful, it has a tangy taste similar to cranberry juice with a floral and fruity aroma, and it is packed with antioxidants and vitamin C.
The game is calm and very pretty. I felt it was a little slow compared to other games but upon reflection felt that it was purpose built to be as such. The slower pace of the game gave my nervous system more of a chance to relax while also being able to be immersed in the game. I tend to find that the more immersive games tend to have a sense of urgency or danger which can be a little stressful when trying to use gaming as a way to relax. Once I had settled in to playing Sky I found it to be a peaceful and very sweet game
Rock painting can be a great way to practice mindfulness as it allows you to focus your attention on the present moment while engaging in a creative activity. Remember, the goal is to relax, reduce stress and anxiety and enjoy the process of creating, not to produce a perfect piece of art. So, have fun and let your creativity flow!
Regardless of their exact origins, doughnuts with a hole in the centre have become a beloved American staple, and they are enjoyed all over the world in various forms and flavours.
Baked American-style doughnuts are a delicious and healthier alternative to traditional fried doughnuts. They are soft, fluffy, and full of flavour, but without the extra grease and calories that come with frying.
I feel that, although change is really hard and can be daunting, a lot of the time it is for the best as it makes room for new growth. I have had a lot of big life changes in the past few years that made me feel as if I was at my breaking point. However, each time I have come out of it stronger, wiser, more confident in my abilities and ready to take on the next challenge that life throws my way.
The most famous dish made with this seasoning is Jamaican jerk chicken which requires quite a lot of preparation and is best cooked outdoors in a barrel type of grill. The good thing is that if you like spicy food, you can marinade in jerk seasoning almost anything, and it will taste great. It is great with chicken breast or fish but also vegan and vegetarian options such as tofu or meat alternatives. It will taste delicious, I promise.
The clocks have gone forward, and days are getting longer. At this time of year, many people plan a spring clean of the home. The clean may involve decluttering the kitchen cupboards, shredding old bills, recycling unwanted clothes, and giving the hallway a new lick of paint. When you finally get to relax in your shiny, clean home, it can leave you feeling refreshed and energised.
Cleaning your physical environment is a great way to feel better generally. But how about a mental spring clean to sweep out the old unhelpful beliefs and stories you tell yourself?
Glitter jars (or calm-down jars) have been used as a mindfulness practice for children and adults for years. When someone is struggling with their emotions, the glitter in a shaken jar is like their thoughts, which like the glitter, calms down eventually.
At the heart of almost every film and book is the hero’s journey. This is the classic storyline in which the main character has to overcome various trials and tasks and then returns home transformed. Along the way, the hero is usually accompanied by friends. There will be a teacher or mentor to offer wise advice and an adversary who will challenge and push the hero to their limits.
I find watercolours very satisfying. Sometimes only playing with colours and not necessarily creating anything in particular works for me. During the lockdown, I used to do a daily 15-minute watercolour practice, and it felt great. I’m trying to return to this, even if not every day. I try to find a couple of minutes to myself to relax and watch the pigment spread on the paper.
