Calming minds & bellies with mindful eating, #meditation & chocolate! 🍫 Creator of @calmcocoa

Free 15 min meditations - Mon 12.15pm/Wed 6pm

Meredith W: mindful chocolate
This week is #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek which make This week is #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek which makes it the perfect time to take stock of how you can support your wellbeing in little and large ways. As this year's theme is nature I've been taking little breaks in my day to just sit in my front garden and listen to the birds. I'm running lots of online sessions this week so I've found this has been really helpful! 🍫 One other way of connecting with nature is through mindful eating. And so my free 15 minute #meditation tonight is therefore a 'bring your own' hot chocolate meditation. It kicks off at 6pm on Zoom (link in bio) or IG Live. You'll just need yourself and a hot chocolate, cocoa, tea or any other warming beverage πŸ’šπŸ˜ #hotchocolate #drinkingchocolate #mindfulmoments #mindfuleating #mindfulness #mindfulliving #connectwithnature #theartofslowliving #seekthesimplicity #f52grams #huffposttaste #wellbeing
Tomorrow marks the start of #MentalHealthAwareness Tomorrow marks the start of #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek and it's SUCH an important week. This year's theme is nature and I'm so pleased as nature is something most of us can access for free in little or large ways (from parks to trees in the street or birds in the sky or plants on a window sill). And it really is key to our wellbeing. πŸ’š There are huge benefits to being out and about in nature, but even looking out a window at nature can aid health. In fact even looking at pictures of natural scenes can help with stress management (seminal nature view studies by Robert Ulrich have been replicated many times to show the impact of nature views!). πŸ’š So do take some time to stand and stare this week 🌳☺ AND my free 15 minute #meditations this week are nature themed. Tomorrow's lunch time session is a calming nature visualisation and Wednesday evening (6pm) is a BYO mindful hot chocolate meditation. #connectedwithnature #mindfulmoments #mindfuleating #mindfulness #slowchocolate #mentalhealth #wellbeing #selfcare #slowliving #slowdown #thesimplethings #breathe #theartofslowliving #seekthesimplicity #innature
Yes this is actually how green the wild garlic acr Yes this is actually how green the wild garlic across the road from my house is! When we walk out of the drive in the morning there is a gloriously garlicky smell and it's just delicious. I carefully crept down the bank of the river at lunch time (it's not very steep 😊) to grab a little bunch to add to scrambled eggs. I'm trying to make the most of the lovely flavour while it's in season. πŸ’š #wildgarlic #forage #naturalfood #connectedwithnature #seasonaleating #seasonalcooking #mindfulmoments #mindfuleating #theartofslowliving #seekthesimplicity #f52grams #huffposttaste #mindfulliving #slowdown #thesimplethings
My first batch of Welsh-made #chocolate tasting do My first batch of Welsh-made #chocolate tasting dots were a good test of tempering in the new kitchen 😁. These ones have a crunchy combo of pumpkin seeds and smoked sea salt. I of course kept one for myself for taste testing πŸ«πŸ’šβ˜Ί #mindfuleating #mindfulchocolate #realchocolate #cacaolove #cacao #chocolatemaking #mindfulmoments #midwales #chocolatelove #thesimplethings #f52grams #huffposttaste #onthetable #inthekitchen #theartofslowliving #seekthesimplicity
Our lovely wasabi plant is doing very well in its Our lovely wasabi plant is doing very well in its new home and I love seeing the leaves turn to the sun in the morning. This month's Mental Health Awareness Week is all about the connection of wellbeing and nature, and finding ways to nurture the connection. Even if you don't have much of the natural world on your doorstep, having a plant or two to tend to is a lovely way you can bring a bit of nature into your house. I'm also really excited as our little plant means we're going to have some yummy wasabi to grate into a spicy paste very soon! πŸŒΆπŸ’š #mentalhealthawarenessweek #mindfulness #mindfulliving #mindfulmoments #theartofslowliving #seekthesimplicity #nature #natureconnect #wasabi #grow #thesimplethings #wellbeing #selfcare #nurture #sustainableliving
Really looking forward to a little down time this Really looking forward to a little down time this weekend (well in between the Bank Holiday DIY that is 😁). My body has definitely told me this week that it needs a little rest so I'm going to listen! I've been doing quite a bit of research on nature and mindfulness for a workshop I'm running for @stretchingthecity across Mental Health Awareness Week (coming up wc 10th May) so am going to put this into practice with a little time communing with nature! πŸ’š oh and sipping on some hot chocolate too of course! It's the perfect post long walk boost 😁🍫 (especially with a dollop of peanut butter added...) #mindfuleating #mindfulliving #slowdown #slowliving #thesimplethings #takeabreath #mindfulness #innature #theartofslowliving #seekthesimplicity #hotchocolate #drinkingchocolate #chocolatelove #breathe #thesimplethings #wellbeing #selfcare #f52grams #huffposttaste
One of my total joys of being somewhere new is tas One of my total joys of being somewhere new is tasting all the delicious foods on my doorstep. Not surprisingly, being in Wales we've been eating LOTS of leeks - and are slowly working our way through the menu of tasty things created by @andysbread. I don't eat donuts very often, but I really enjoy them when I do, especially with a classic apple and custard combo. πŸ’š We're also very excited about seeing what pops up in our new garden. Fortunately we've already spotted some rhubarb, which is such a nice treat as I wasn't able to split the plant from our old garden to take with me as I totally ran out of time. It turns out that after feeling a bit sad about it there will be plenty here! 🎊 #mindfulmoments #mindfuleating #theartofslowliving #seekthesimplicity#f52grams #huffposttaste #mindfulliving #slowdown #slowliving #thesimplethings #breathe #baking #onthetable #seasonaleating #donuts
Today is #earthday so it felt like an appropriate Today is #earthday so it felt like an appropriate time to just sit in my front garden and listen to the birds for a little bit. I've moved to somewhere so full of the beauty of the natural world that it feels hard to imagine a planet without this - but it's also made me even more determined to protect it. This year's theme is Restore Our Earth and it can sometimes feel like an insurmountable challenge, but it doesn't mean we shouldn't do things at an individual level! (While also agitating for the bigger changes at industry and government level.) One very simple thing I've been doing over the last month is deleting many, many emails stored on my secondary email address and unsubscribing from emails I don't read. The cloud kind of seems like this amorphous thing in the air, but it's actually big servers, often using lots of energy. I was actually shocked at how many emails I had just sitting there! Even sending emails has a carbon impact, so it's always worth thinking whether you need to hit send (and making sure your emails are clear where possible so don't need a response). (And I highly recommend reading the Carbon Literacy Project on the impact of things like this.) Of course soil restoration and caring for the planet will involve MUCH more than this - but we can all start with clearing our own inbox! 🌏 #earthday2021 #innature #mindfulmoments #sustainability #sustainableliving #mindfulness #slowliving #theartofslowliving #seekthesimplicity #slowdown
We made the most of the beautiful sunshine this we We made the most of the beautiful sunshine this week to do a little local exploring - including the beautiful Hafren Forest. Nature has been so important to my mental health over the last 12 months and I'm feeling so grateful to have such amazing places on my doorstep πŸ’š #mindfulmoments #mindfulliving #slowdown #slowliving #thesimplethings #takeabreath #mindfulness #meditation #breathe #selfcare #wellbeing #nature #theartofslowliving #seekthesimplicity #slowsundays
