As I write this post on Tuesday, it has taken me two days to get my brain cells functioning again after the weekend.

Yes I know that I talk about healthy, clean food alot. But this just re-affirms how far from perfect I am.

I had my Niece’s pre-wedding party. So you can imagine there was plenty of overindulgence with food, drinks and even the odd cigarette (I don’t smoke though – go figure) Clearly something went a little haywire somewhere.

Once upon a time, I would have thought it was the end of life as I knew it, because I didn’t stick to my core values and principles. Age has taught me that there is no need to beat myself up over ‘letting loose’, because the karma is in how my body responds to this poor treatment.

No this time around, I was gentle and loving with myself.

I rested.

I slept.

I green juiced.

I even had a little giggle about how cheeky I was.

And most importantly, I vowed to never to do it again.

Not because I can’t – but because I prefer feeling light, free, happy, loving.

What’s your self-talk when you do something cringeworthy?

The most destructive thing you can do, is berate yourself or try to carry on as normal when your body really needs some TLC.

This week’s recipe is a light n breezy kinda juice from JuiceRecipes.com

So be kind to yourself, enjoy this juice and get yourself feeling breezy again.
