I never thought I would do this one day, but I am writing today an article to invite you to celebrate Valentine's Day! When I was younger, single or not, I was excited and happy to celebrate the day, it was an occasion to do something outside of the routine ... and have chocolate ! I never miss an opportunity to have chocolate....

Procrastinating: a tendency to systematically push away for later something you should be doing now. Everybody is procrastinating on some level, because there are things we don't like neither want to do. Like cleaning, doing laundry, doing taxes, taking care of administration files pending for months, starting a cooking Youtube channel ... Avoidance strategy works, only for a while, and to a certain limit....

I am skipping this year’s post about resolutions. I do think we should make resolutions, maybe not too many or too extravagant to make in a short period of time. You can set for yourself just one goal for 2024 and not call it a resolution. On my end, I definitely have goals and I try to limit myself to not pressure me too much by going in different directions at the same time. ...

The art of doing nothing. I can’t remember where I have heard this expression, probably in a spirituality book or podcast (have been going through a lot of these lately). What is at the center of it: doing nothing to actually reconnect to yourself. I love the idea of course, as I became increasingly aware over the past two years how we can get caught up in the rush of everyday life and constant distractions from our phones....

Every one of us goes through grieving someone at some point in our lives. We are mentally being prepared to mourn our grandparents and parents, much less siblings, cousins or close friends. There is no way to really be emotionally prepared to lose someone and it’s a good thing. Maybe otherwise we would not be able to fully enjoy life. …...

Part of my healthcare routine is to stretch, meditate, workout and do long walks with my dog outside. Days that I am super efficient with my chores, I get to do all these things. Most of the time it is just a couple of them! Recently, there is one notion that I repeatedly heard along these practices for the past couple of weeks: the importance of taking care of your nervous system....

Do you remember how we used to make New Year’s resolutions with so much enthusiasm? Even if we would not follow through with all of them, at least, we were trying. I don’t know exactly what happened but it has been several years in a row that we are not even mid January that everybody says “I don’t make resolutions anymore, it is useless, I always give them up by the end of the month”....

C'est la boisson tendance que tous les influenceurs fitness/yoga partagent...le matcha vert !

Personnellement je reste fidèle à mon thé vert et mon petit café Cubain à Miami.

Mais si vous voulez en savoir un peu plus et tester cette boisson voici quelques infos:
- Le matcha vert est originaire du Japon et se présente sous forme de poudre. Il est utilisé traditionnellement pour la célèbre cérémonie du thé.
- Le goût est assez fort c'est pourquoi certains le mélangent avec du lait d'amande.
- Il est bénéfique pour la santé parce qu'il contient de la théine, du catéchine (un antioxydant puissant pour le système immunitaire) et il lutte contre le vieillissement de la peau.

Comment le préparer?
1. Versez les grammes de poudre dans un bol.
2. Remplir le bol avec de l'eau bouillante.
3. Battez le mélange avec le fouet spécial matcha jusqu'à ce que la préparation devienne mousseuse.

Dites moi si vous avez goûté et aimé 🍵
