A Christmas present from my sister. Not the gherking…that’s my thing. Pickleeeees!
But being busy always takes a toll on my body. This week I’ve been feeling the inflammation creeping up, so I am resetting my body. I want to be ready for Spring.
Yellow Team!
To be honest, being a coach doesn’t mean you always apply your own tips to yourself. I’ve been overworking and eating in a way that doesn’t help my body. But, I’ve been trying to sneak in movement every now and then and, of course, meditation was on the menu.
The thing is, now my brain recognises my body’s signals sooner than before. I don’t wait until I can’t move to stop.
This is my favourite dish by Carlos.
It has to do with stress and anxiety though. Anxiety tends to cover up the symptoms until it feels like you are “safe” Then…badum! you fall. Isn’t it common to get a cold after long periods of stress? Well, I’ve felt it this winter.

I always have a couple of goals each month regarding my health. February’s are: Eating frugally and mindfully (it helps my digestive system A LOT) and also eating nutritious food again while re-incorporating my Pilates practice.
I have other goals regarding work, the house, etc. but the priority is always my health. In January, it wasn’t…now I’m paying for that. Nonetheless, the end of January was magical. I spent it in Angoulême. I was surrounded by illustrators and made some new and exciting things.
So, as I said, I’m happy. That helps more than any other thing. Happiness pulls you through the stormiest weather. I know it’s not a permanent feeling, and I’m not happy all the time, of course. But you know what? I am grateful even if I’m sad. And that is even better. I keep thanking myself, the world, the universe and the cats for all they give me. For all I have, how lucky I am! Even in the darkest moments, I make an effort to give thanks. Out loud. And say to myself: I am so freaking lucky!
Resilience is something you earn. Sometimes I would love to be soft and not have my tough personality. I earned it by coping with all the curved balls that life has sent me. Whenever I feel like I want to be soft, I allow myself and then I just thank myself for everything I’ve been through and then I keep going, learning and becoming more resilient. One day, this will all also be a lesson learnt. For good 🙂
A very French winter morning
As always, thanks for reading this. Have fun and keep fooding!
