Week 2 of the 21-Day Splendid Reset: check! How are you feeling? Today we’re partnering up with our partners HUM Nutrition, True Botanicals, and Parsley Health for a 3-step self-care Sunday!

1. Try a gut-healthy recipe from HUM Nutrition

Incorporate fibrous, prebiotic sweet potatoes and probiotic-rich dried cranberries in a quick and easy winter salad. The addition of the almonds provides a good source of protein and fiber, which promote good gut flora and fullness. Of course, you can swap in any nut readily available if you’d like.

3. 3 Mood-Boosting Tips & Journaling Prompts from Parsley Health

  1. Consider adding in EFT, or tapping for 2-3min in your morning routine. This will help activate your parasympathetic nervous system and help give space for you to process the things that you need
  2. Check-in on your relationship with food and movement. Are you putting your value or worth in the things that you eat or do? Try moving away from labeling foods as good/bad, healthy/unhealthy. This will give space for you to connect to food and see how you feel physically when eating food.
  3. Remind yourself that your value and worth comes from within, not anything external that you can do or receive from others.
