BELIEVE IN YOUR OWN SAUCE is the only mantra you need right now if it feels like you may be struggling to feel your best. It’s not always easy to believe in your self but remember you can always get there will some love and self care. Recently you may have read about how I had some struggles with my mental health. I’ve had so many life changes recently that my head couldn’t cope with it and was sending me down a weird spiral. However with few changes, including making my self care number one priority, I’m back on the mend and feel happier than I have in weeks. And when I think of this saying it reminds me of who I am and what I can be. And I want to tell you all. You can be as happy as you want to be, you can live a better life if that’s what you want and you can be as saucy as you like. Just don’t forget about yourself, needs or happiness. It can be the smallest thing but it can all make a difference. Just always believe in your own sauce 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻 Paola x

In my newsletter last week, I discussed how as humans it’s easier to convince ourselves to not do that ‘thing’ that will make us feel better. For example, - to stay in bed rather than get up to do some exercise which will give you the energy to get your work done. - order a takeaway rather than cook a dinner which will make you feel 💯 better. - scroll on your phone for 15 mins rather then have a lovely cup of tea in peace. It happens so often in our lives we probably don’t notice it. But due to our busy lifestyles it sometimes feels easier to not do anything “EXTRA”. But let me ask you, why does everything else take precedent over “US” and our self-care. Why is it that what we really need to make us feel good, isn’t as important. Why do we focus on how hard those actions will be rather than focus on how that EFFORT will make us feel so good after. The truth is if we don’t take care of ourselves than we will never feel our best to take on everyday or live our best lives. It’s as simple as that and I recently learnt that the hard way. I wish this was something I was taught from an early age rather than thinking life was about working and making money. This is a topic I constantly discuss with my Saucy Society cooking members. The importance of enjoying your love of food at home by cooking dishes that will make you feel good and give you so much pleasure. That’s correct. Cooking can be self-care and not just that chore you want to avoid. If you’re someone who could benefit from making better food decisions, get help with cooking motivation and would love to transform your cooking relationship to develop a delicious healthy self-care habit. The Saucy Society is what you’re looking for. The best self-care online cooking community on the planet. More info? Link in bio. #eatbetterfeelbetter #selfcareroutine #goodfoodgoodmood
