MONDAY MOTIVATION

🌎 BE THE CHANGE: My friend Sara, a Dutch filmmaker, has helped us create several Earth Conscious Life videos the past years. She has been on her own journey, traveling across Europe to document intentional communities, regenerative projects, and people choosing to live differently. One of her recent stops was Project Kamp in Portugal, an off-grid experiment with a massive YouTube audience. Sara immersed herself in the daily rhythms of life there, volunteering, filming, and asking big questions about what it means to live sustainably and share that life publicly. The result is THIS reflective film that explores not only alternative living, but also the complexities of doing it in front of the camera. If you're interested in how the presence of cameras shapes life in an off-grid community, her short documentary is worth watching.

🥗 RECIPE OF THE WEEK: Bored with the usual salad? Try a Warm Lentil & Roasted Beet Salad with Tahini Dressing. Lentils are full of iron and fiber, while roasted beets support detox and circulation. The tahini dressing adds healthy fats and a rich, nutty flavor. This earthy, comforting dish is perfect for midweek lunches. Try this simple lentil beet bowl recipe to nourish your body and soul.

🌽 SUPERFOOD SPOTLIGHT: Not your average corn, purple corn from the Andes contains anthocyanins, the same powerful antioxidants found in blueberries and acai. These compounds have been linked to improved circulation, reduced inflammation, and even anti-cancer properties. Enjoy it as tea, in snacks, or as a nutrient-dense flour substitute in baking.

Holding head in confusion and frustration

🧠 MIND: You might benefit from the "5-4-3-2-1 grounding technique", a simple practice used in cognitive behavioral therapy to manage anxiety. It works by shifting focus from racing thoughts to your surroundings using your five senses. It’s especially helpful during overwhelming moments or panic attacks. Here’s a breakdown of how the 5-4-3-2-1 technique reduces anxiety.

🌿 BODY: We have barefoot walking, a practice known as “earthing” that reconnects your body to the Earth’s natural electrical field. Advocates say it improves sleep, reduces inflammation, and even helps with stress recovery. A short barefoot walk on natural ground like grass or sand may help balance cortisol levels. Earthing is becoming a science-backed wellness trend.

💖 SPIRIT: The ancient Greek concept of "kairos" refers to the perfect, divine moment, not just clock time, but the right time for action. Unlike "chronos" (chronological time), kairos means moving when the universe aligns. When something “just feels right,” you’re likely in a kairos moment. Read more about kairos and how it helps you trust your timing.
