Cleaning to Come to Center & Healthy Comfort Food

I spent large portions of today decluttering, vacuuming, dusting and doing laundry. As I've mentioned in the past the waning lunar phase, which we are in now, is a supportive time to clean and bring projects to completion before the next new moon (on Wed, Jan 13). I also find it supportive to clean and organize because my external world is a reflection of my internal world, and vice versa. Often times when I am feeling mentally scattered or overwhelmed I will organize something...it helps bring me (and my life) back into order and balance. Given the chaos, disorder and lack of harmony we have been witnessing, you may find it supportive to bring your home/sanctuary into order.

After I was done cleaning, I took an exfoliating shower to "brush off the old". Then I took some time to rest and enjoy my freshly clean and organized home.

In the last few days I've also noticed my craving for comfort foods...not surprising at all. Tonight my family and I enjoyed a super foods dinner of mixed greens, pomegranate seeds and toasted walnuts with a light vinegar dressing. My husband and kiddo both commented that the lightly toasted walnuts smelled and tasted a bit like popcorn. So if you are looking for a healthy comfort food snack you might want to try toasted walnuts...they also can boost mood and help with insomnia
