Listening to my body today

Today was one of those days where I needed to take things slow and gentle. I wasn’t very hungry, so instead of forcing myself to eat a full meal, I chose smaller, easier options.

I had some applesauce and focused on staying hydrated.

One of the things that worked really well for me today was a simple strawberry tisane. It ended up being both soothing and refreshing, and it sat very well on my stomach.

🍓 Strawberry Lime Tisane
12 oz hot water
3 frozen strawberries
about 1/4 packet of True Lime
2 drops of honey
I let the strawberries steep in the hot water, added the lime, and finished it with just a couple drops of honey. It had a perfect sweet-tart balance—light, refreshing, and not too heavy.

🌿 What I’m Learning

I’m learning that I don’t have to push myself to eat large meals when my body isn’t ready. Smaller portions and gentle foods can still give me what I need. Listening to my body instead of fighting it has made a big difference.

🌿 A Gentle Reminder

You don’t have to do everything perfectly. Some days are about doing what you can, in small and manageable ways. And sometimes, something as simple as a warm drink can be exactly what you need.

Until next time, peace and be safe!
