Summer Strawberry Salad by Occasionally Eggs:
This summer strawberry salad is packed with the best of the season - early summer berries, fresh greens, herbs, and flowers. It's spring in a bowl, with lentils and a sweet strawberry vinaigrette.
Ingredients:
- Lettuce : a mix of green and red if you have it – any kinds of you like. I prefer ‘salad bowl’ and that’s primarily what we grow.
- Lentils : brown or French lentils are great, as are black. I don’t recommend red lentils. Chickpeas and white beans are good substitutions for lentils.
- Pea shoots : or sunflower shoots, or sprouts, whatever kind of sprout or shoot you like. These can be omit...
Daily Wellness Routines
Incorporate these daily routines to embrace summer wellness:
Morning Rituals : Start your day with a refreshing shower using citrus-scented products, followed by a few minutes of stretching or yoga.
Midday Breaks : Take a break during the hottest part of the day to rest and hydrate. Use a cooling spray or mist to refresh your skin.
Evening Wind-Down : Light a candle and spend some quiet time reflecting on your day or practicing meditation before bed.
Outdoor Activities
Enjoy the beauty of summer with these outdoor activities:
Yoga in the Park : Find a quiet spot in a local park and practice yoga surrounded by nature.
Nature Walks : Explore local trails and parks, taking in the sights, sounds, and scents of summer.
Beach Meditations : If you live near the coast, spend time meditating by the sea. The sound of the waves can be incredibly soothing.
Summer Meditation Guide
Here's a guided meditation script for summer relaxation:
Find a comfortable place to sit or lie down.
Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths, inhaling through your nose and exhaling through your mouth.
Visualize yourself in a beautiful summer garden. Feel the warmth of the sun on your skin and the gentle breeze.
Imagine the scents of the garden, like fresh flowers and herbs. Breathe in these scents deeply.
As you continue to breathe, let go of any stress or tension. Focus on the present moment and the peacefulness of the garden.
Spend a few minutes in this state of relaxation, then slowly bring your awareness back to your surroundings and open your eyes.
