Newly empty nester reinventing herself and inviting you along the ride ✨Here to help you shine

POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

HERE IS HOW⬇️
…and it’s not what you think, hear me out!

You look at the number on the scale and right away your inner critic gives you her opinion: “It’s getting out of hand! You have to move that body, eat better and lose that weight!”

You are doing “all the things” for about 2 weeks and somehow…”life” takes over and SHE says “You are just not disciplines!”.

Did you know that you can TALK BACK at that inner critic instead of continuing to LISTEN and letting her stay in the drivers seat?

Sooooo it all starts with the stories you continue to allow to tell yourself. How will you ever feel motivated and positive to keep on going taking care of yourself with HER treating you like a failure?

So practice the following instead: Wake up and repeat “I love myself enough TODAY to take care of ME as much as I care for my kids.”

Do this 3 times and mean it, feel you deserve it and create a sense of gratitude instead of self-shame.

BONUS: At night juuuust before you fall asleep, think of everything you did FOR you in your day, celebrate it, feel how much you appreciated it and add “I love myself enough and continue to take care of ME as much as for my kids.”

𝑯𝒐𝒏𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑹𝒂𝒘 ... I used to struggled with an eating disorder for many years .... literally slowly killing myself. The day I found out to be pregnant with our first little angel, I drew a line in the sand ....not ONE step further in that direction!

Not nourishing my body, offering each cell the essential nutrients to ensure its survival and health is a bit like not taking responsibility, respecting and honoring your own life.

I carried this little being inside of me and I simply couldn't take responsibility for him if I was not able to do it for myself. I had some MAJOR work to do on myself. Learn to love, appreciate and trust me.

It was at that point that I realized that I am the greatest gift of my life. Falling in love with yourself is the most beautiful thing that you can make happen. One of the things that literally saved my life was to start reading personal development books 📚to help me reconnect with the most important person in my life...ME🙏🏼 Here I am 25 lbs heavier and totally in love😍

What about you? Are you into personal development, too? What's your favorite book? by @_lenakleine_

Did you thank or encourage yourself today? Did you give yourself a pat on the shoulder or ? Did you show yourself some love?

Often we talk to ourselves in a way we'd NEVER talk to anyone else😱

You live in that body....with this person for the rest of your life....why make her your enemy?

Let me hear it darlin' !!! What are you proud of today? How are you showing how much you appreciate living in your body? How are you showing yourself that you love this beautiful person that you are? by @_lenakleine_

𝙑𝙚𝙜𝙖𝙣 𝘿𝙖𝙧𝙠 𝘾𝙝𝙤𝙘𝙤𝙡𝙖𝙩𝙚 𝘾𝙤𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙪𝙩 𝘽𝙞𝙩𝙚𝙨

OMG found this recipe from 📷@pinchofyum and if you are a "Bounty" die hard fan - you gotta give this healthy version a try. Definite WINNER 😋

𝕀𝕟𝕘𝕣𝕖𝕕𝕚𝕖𝕟𝕥𝕤
2 cups dessicated coconut
4 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
5 tablespoons coconut oil
1 teaspoon vanilla
4 ounces dark chocolate for melting (i.e. chocolate chips)

𝕀𝕟𝕤𝕥𝕣𝕦𝕔𝕥𝕚𝕠𝕟𝕤
Pulse the coconut in a blender or food processor until the texture becomes like thick flour. Transfer to a bowl and add the honey or maple syrup, coconut oil, and vanilla. Stir until a thick paste forms.
Using your hands, squeeze the mixture into about 18 small balls. I found that rolling was difficult because they weren’t sticky enough, but I was able to shape them into balls by first squeezing them in my palm a few times (you’ll get some oil on your hands), and then gently shaping it from an oval into a round ball. Place the coconut balls in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes or until firm. I could tell that mine were ready because there was a small white ring of solidified coconut oil around the base of each ball.
Melt the chocolate slowly and gently until smooth and spreadable. We don’t have a microwave, so I had the best results melting this in a stainless steel bowl placed in a hot oven for about 10 minutes.
Lay out a sheet of wax paper. Using two forks, roll each coconut ball in the chocolate until completely covered. Scoop the ball out with the fork and let the extra chocolate drip off the fork. Gently nudge the chocolate covered ball onto wax paper and chill until the chocolate has hardened. Store in the refrigerator.

Enjoyyyyy! by @_lenakleine_

✨SOIS LA LUMIÈRE ➸ BE THE LIGHT ✨⁣
⁣⁣
⁣With the beginning of a new decade, me and my family wish you more than anything to connect with the people close to you.⁣
⁣⁣
⁣We live in a time where loneliness, depression, suicide, social pressure, financial insecurities and especially lack of communication and the capacity to LISTEN are on a record high.⁣
⁣⁣
⁣Many suffer in silence and are in the dark without you even realizing it. Make this new decade all about being gentle, kind, respectful, making not only yourself happy but also being open to be the light in somebody’s life stuck in the dark.⁣
⁣⁣
⁣A simple hello, a true smile and a “How are you? Hope you are well!” goes a long way 🙏🏼⁣
⁣⁣
⁣HAPPY NEW DECADE HUMANS⁣
