Meredith W: mindful chocolate
I'm so grateful for the beautiful weather. It's be I'm so grateful for the beautiful weather. It's been a ray of sunshine, literally, in amongst a lot of gloom. We've been taking our daily bout of exercise in the morning with Taz through quiet streets and woods (and anyone we do see keeping a kind safe distance). I've also loved seeing the rainbow pictures children have stuck in windows - and then yesterday found a household who'd gone one step further and rainbow decorated a whole tree. It sparkled in the sunshine and the little decorations gently twisted in the breeze. It gave me hope! #bekind - - - #selfcare #stayhome #mindfulliving #theartofslowliving #seekthesimplicity #slowdown #mindfulness #takeabreath #mindfulmoments #slowliving #takeabreath #rainbow #hope
My solution to a week of stress... banana bread πŸŒπŸ’šπŸ™…β€β™€οΈ In a nod to my Aussie roots, I used a trusty taste.com.au recipe, and added a bit of spelt flour and a big splodge of peanut butter. I've been enjoying slices toasted and smothered in butter as mid-morning relief. Also doing my bit for food waste as this used bananas my husband liberated from his work before he shut the office 😁 - - - #bananabread #baking #inthekitchen #mindfulliving #mindfulmoments #mindfuleating #theartofslowliving #seekthesimplicity #f52grams #huffposttaste #feedfeed #onthetable #slowliving #sustainableeating
My thoughts have gradually been turning back to th My thoughts have gradually been turning back to the world of calming chocolate. Chocolate has been a bit of a port in a storm at the moment 🍫. I had a nice big delivery from Pump Street Chocolate last week so will be getting back into the kitchen very soon!⁠ -⁠ In the spirit of coronavirus creativity, something I've been mulling over is creating a slightly smaller serving of Calm Cocoa hot chocolate that could be sent as a little care package or message to someone you think might need it. I'm going to do these in a generous double serving size. (2 servings for me, but 3-4 for someone who doesn't want it quite as strong πŸ˜€) I'm also creating some little hand drawn calm care cards to go with the packs.⁠ -⁠ What do you think? I'd love to hear your thoughts - or any other suggestions for nice caring things I could do either with my hot chocolate mixes or my hot chocolate meditations. I've even been toying with trying to host a group online hot chocolate meditation πŸ€”. Decisions, decisions...⁠ -⁠ -⁠ -⁠ #calmcocoa #calmcocoamoment #hotchocolate #mindfulness #slowchocolate #mindfuleating #takeabreath #mindfulness #meditation #mindfulliving #chocolatelove #thesimplethings #chocolatelove #chocolatemaking #f52grams #huffposttaste #newideas #slowdown #athome #theartofslowliving #seekthesimplicity #inthekitchen
It's almost hard to believe this time last week I It's almost hard to believe this time last week I was back from a long weekend in Wales and ready to ease into Monday. I've spent the last 7 days swinging from highs to lows - and back again. Life doesn't feel normal, but as Nicola Sturgeon said today, if life does feel normal we're not doing enough to change. - I am trying to embrace my time at home as much as possible - and even though it's been a tough week for many reasons, I am grateful to have had my husband at home to share it with. Being outside London also makes it very possible to take Taz for his walks while being away from other people. My heart is hurting for the people who are ill or who have lost loved ones, and it makes me want to hold my little family close. - This a time to inhale, listen to the advice to cocoon and just take it one day at a time! (I'm also finding pleasure in the little things like starting the day with very good coffee 😁) - - - #cocoon #mindfulliving #theartofslowliving #seekthesimplicity #f52grams #huffposttaste #breathe #takeabreath #mindfulmoments #mindfulness #slowdown #stayin #coffee
Ways to keep (a little) sane in our crazy times... Ways to keep (a little) sane in our crazy times... 🌸 Cuddle dogs (or cats/lizards/babies if you have one in your home) - having another creature full of love who has no idea what's going on is really nice. Taz has been a bit of a mini-saviour in our household 🌸 Have a little cry if you need to - it's okay not to feel okay - but also then try to let it go if you can (I had a few tears myself this morning after watching a happy/sad video which then became tears for me!) 🌸 Stay connected, even if you're at a distance. Video chats, social media and phone calls are all good ways of connecting with other humans 🌸 Mindfully eat some good #chocolate (this hasn't been stockpiled for some reason 😁) - it's a really lovely way to slow down and connect with your senses. And, well, it's chocolate! - Let's keep calm & cocoa-ing on 🍫🍫🍫 (and you can join me via Zoom at 12.15pm on weekdays if you fancy adding some calming meditations in the mix) - - - #mindfulliving #theartofslowliving #seekthesimplicity #f52grams #huffposttaste #thesimplethings #chocolatetasting #chocolatelove #mindfuleating #mindfulmoments #meditation #dogsofinstagram #keepcalm #calmcocoamoment
If you are isolating/quarantining and have extra f If you are isolating/quarantining and have extra food in the house (please know this is not a judgement about over-shopping!), I wanted to share a few suggestions for making sure nothing goes to waste 😁 - Things that freeze well include bread, grated cheese, chopped herbs, milk & butter. (And of course buying frozen fruit & veg can tide you over if you can't get out.) - If you have surplus veg or they're starting to get floppy, soup is your saviour. It's easy to boil up a big batch - and it's another thing that freezes well. - I also like roasting up big trays of veg to use across meals as a main, side or to top salads. - If you have a bunch of old bananas, look no further than banana bread. And yes - you guessed it - it freezes well! You could even make batches of cookie dough, and freeze it in cookie sized scoops to cook from frozen - Don't feel like you need to survive on baked beans alone in the current climate πŸ˜‰ - - - #mindfulliving #theartofslowliving #seekthesimplicity #slowdown #mindfuleating #mindfulmoments #foodwaste #sustainableeating #sustainability #f52grams #huffpostetaste #eatgreen #mindfulness
If you feel in the need of a little hot chocolate If you feel in the need of a little hot chocolate & babka love, you have until 10pm tonight to order a special Mother's Day gift box brought to you by the lovely @painteddogbakehouse & me. - Each box contains 1 pack of @calmcocoa Original Rich Mix and your choice of small babka. Yes we are still very much open and working, and hugely appreciate your support for us as small makers during this very challenging time 😘 - You can order via the link in my bio πŸ‘†πŸ‘†πŸ‘† - - - #calmcocoa #chocolate #chocolatelove #cacaolove #babka #smallbusiness #mindfulliving #mindfulmoments #mindfuleating #theartofslowliving #seekthesimplicity #f52grams #huffposttaste #calmcocoamoment
I've been thinking of practical ways I can offer s I've been thinking of practical ways I can offer some help at the moment. I'm therefore going to run some free online #meditations across lunch time this week as so many of us are working from home at the moment.⁠ -⁠ They'll be about 15 minutes with a real focus on helping you cultivate a little calm in these unsettling times.⁠ -⁠ Join me at 12.15pm (UK time) on Zoom from Tuesday to Friday. I've set up a Zoom meeting link (in my bio) for you to join via your computer or phone. If you're new to Zoom, you can sign up for free and just log in a few minutes early to make sure it's all running properly.⁠ -⁠ I'm going to start tomorrow with a Calming Space meditation which is one of my favourites for when I wake up in the night and can't sleep! (Which has happened once or twice in the last few weeks!!!) I hope you can join us...β πŸ™‹πŸΌβ€β™‚οΈ -⁠ By the way, if you're interested in arranging bespoke group or 121 meditations online please do get in touch. Much of my event work has been cancelled for the next month so I have some availability for remote support 😏 (and of course I'm still very much mixing up @calmcocoa too!)⁠ ‒⁠ ‒⁠ ‒⁠ ‒⁠ ‒⁠ ‒⁠ ‒⁠ ‒⁠ ‒⁠ ‒⁠ ‒⁠ #mindfulmoments #slowdown #slowliving #thesimplethings #takeabreath #mindfulness #mindfulliving #theartofslowliving #seekthesimplicity #getgrounded #slowdownlondon #breathe #smallsteps #calm #meditation #keepcalm
Yes we are in strange times - and as a self-employ Yes we are in strange times - and as a self-employed maker with much of my business tied into running events, I can understand the anxiety flying around at the moment. I've been heartened by the normality of being out and about around Abergavenny over the last couple of days - which included some delicious cronuts and excellent coffee. It's been lovely to see people going about life in a relatively normal way and I feel very grateful for this as I know it's not the case in other countries. - I'm now back home and thinking of practical ways to use my mindfulness and meditation to prevent a dip into panic. This includes recognising rather than avoiding my worries but also trying to observe rather than get too caught up in them. I'm consciously limiting my newsfeed to prevent overwhelm. And I've been playing with Taz and getting a few doggy snuggles as he is the ultimate feel good boost! - Over the last couple of days I've also stepped away, with self-kindness and compassion, from conversations that were spiralling from legitimate concerns into anxiety and groundless conjecture. This has been very much about listening to what's important for my own mental health while also respecting that other people's needs and ways of expressing themselves can be different to mine. - If it's of help, I'm going to offer some free online guided #meditations across this week for anyone else who needs a little calm boost. I'll share some details in the next day or so if you'd like to join πŸ’š - - - #calm #mindfulliving #mindfulmoments #mindfulness #takeabreath #cronuts #theartofslowliving #seekthesimplicity #slowdown #compassion #selfkindness #meditation #bekind
