Sprouted raw almonds are a delicious, affordable and easy superfood.
They’re simple to do and sprouting them – technically soaking the almonds – makes it much easier for your body to absorb their many nutrients.
Here’s how to make the most of sprouted almonds and some great ideas for sprouted almond recipes – including sprouted almond milk recipes. [Read more…] about How To Sprout Raw Almonds
When we spend time complaining about what’s going wrong, what others are or aren’t doing and how much of what we want we don’t have / how much we don’t want what we have, guess what happens?
We are programming our minds to focus on more of that.
It’s as though we’re tuning a radio station to play us a ‘life soundtrack’ of complaining, ‘don’t want’ and ‘don’t like’.
Fortunately there’s a really simple solution.
Instead of complaining about what’s bad / wrong / what we don’t have, focus on what’s going well, what we do have, what we do like and we’ll be waving a magic wand, setting the filters in our brain to spot more of that.
When we do this, it’s as though a miracle occurs:
“Whatever you appreciate and give thanks for will increase in your life.”~ Sanaya Roman
It feels like the things we appreciate are growing, because we’re giving them more of our ‘head space’. But it also physically occurs too, because we’re giving our mind the instruction to notice and to create chance for more of what we appreciate to ‘arrive’. We’re more likely to spot the open doors and opportunities that allow more of it into our experience of live. We’re more likely to say the things and take the actions that bring what we appreciate into our world.
The simple act of saying thank you for what we have – of appreciating and feeling good about how our life is – shifts our radar and retunes that radio station.
Each time you catch yourself complaining, how about pausing for a moment and asking yourself, “What could I choose to feel grateful for, in this moment?”
There will always be something.
This is one of the many reasons why your daily ‘gratitude minutes’ are so incredibly important – and potentially life-changing. They are training your mind to consistently allow more of what you feel grateful for into your experience of life.
Surely that’s worth a minute a day of your time?

I want to share with you one of the simplest – and yet most profound – New Year Resolutions you could make today.
Forget about the whole gym / giving up chocolate / never swearing again stuff. Sure, it’s helpful, but it’s really only twiddling with the outside.
If you want to make real, life-long shifts in your life this year, go for Gratitude instead.
Just imagine training your brain to think of happy thoughts and things you are grateful for, instead of pointing out everything that’s going wrong!
Just imagine saying goodbye to feeling glum and fed up, when things don’t go the way you had wanted!
Just imagine discovering that you can create the life you have been dreaming of, without having to jump through all the hoops that the manifesting books tell you are essential – the complex routines that make life feel like a game of Twister!
It only takes five minutes a day to train your mind to look for the positives and to feel gratitude for what is good in your life.
That’s why I’m talking so much about gratitude these days, to help you along the way.
And to get you off to a flying start, here’s one of my favourite Gratitude Projects that you could start tonight and then let the magic happen:
Ninja tip:
If you want to do this with kids, remember you don’t have to write in it. You can get them drawing pictures or snipping photos out of magazines or adding a pebble or other small memento.
The key is to make it fun.
Creativity (getting out of your logical left brain) ROCKS when it comes to experimenting with gratitude!
If you want to take things to the next level, perhaps you’d like to find out for yourself how super-simple gratitude practices can change your life – in just a minute a day?
My gratitude journal – A Year Full of Gratitude – turns itself into a year-long, interactive online course if you join the readers’ club that comes as part of the book.
Plus it comes with weekly videos and a podcast to teach you – in easy steps – how to turn your inner critic into your biggest cheerleader. AND there’s a private forum where you can share your experiences with like-minded souls and get answers to your gratitude questions.
Want to join us? You can grab your copy of the book here and make sure you use the link in the first few pages to join the readers’ club. I would LOVE to share this journey with you.
Wishing you a very full Gratitude Jar by the end of the year!
Namaste,
It’s amazingly easy to put off changing your life.
It can feel like we have to wait to find the ‘right’ seminar or read the ‘right’ book or search out the ‘right’ guru.
But there are 3 simple things you could do today, to make shifts in your life. And they all take less than 5 minutes.

Our ‘relaxed state’ facial expression is a scarily public indicator of our inner emotional state. Happy people have happy faces. Sad people have sad faces. Grumpy people have grumpy faces.
When you get older, which kind of face would you rather have? The one that is furrowed with worry lines and frown grooves? Or the one with crow’s feet and laughter lines?
We can choose which face we want to wear. [Read more…] about Which Face Will You Choose Today? Why It Might Be The Most Important Decision You Make.
Most of us are just ‘pretending’ to breathe. We have trained ourselves to do just enough to survive. But most of us aren’t breathing properly. We’re denying our bodies the oxygen-rich fuel they crave, which has implications for our health – physically, mentally and emotionally.
Fortunately all you need to do, to turn things around, is to take 10 deep breaths.
