STRAWBERRY MANGO SMOOTHIE

If you love strawberries and Mangoes, this smoothie is for you. Mango fruit of this season in India. I love to use always love to use seasonal and regional ingredients. Strawberries are more than a good treat—they’re high in B vitamins and vitamin C. B vitamins help you maintain beautiful hair and nails, and have even been linked to reducing the chance of stroke. Vitamin C is good for the immune system. Mango has health benefits for the eyes, hair, and nails as well. It’s also considered one of the most consumed fruits in the world.Together, the two make for a wonderfully healthy smoothie.

2 mangoes, peeled and pitted

8 ounces (225 g) strawberries

(about 8 large strawberries)

1 cup (240 ml) coconut water

1 cup (130 g) crushed ice

1 tablespoon chia seeds, plus more for optional topping

Method:

If you want to make things easier on yourself in the morning, you

can prep all the fruits the night before.Then all you need to do is

blend.

Put all the ingredients in a high-power blender and blend until smooth, 2 to 3 minutes.

For best results, serve immediately, sprinkled with chia seeds, if desired

Serves 4 people

Prep time: 5 minutes

ALMOND BANANA SMOOTHIE

also provides a good amount of protein with the rolled oats and almond butter. The coconut milk provides some fats, and the bananas add some sweetness. one may add scoop of whey protein.

1½ tablespoons cacao powder

½ teaspoon almond extract Handful of chocolate chips for garnish, optional

Pour and garnish with the chocolate chips, if using. Serve immediately or freeze in ice cube trays for re-blending later.

The Worry Tree by Butler & Hope 2007

Most of us are often trapped in the chain of worrisome thoughts that won't seem to break. we are happy to share 'the worry tree' model introduced by Butter and Hope in 2007. Butler & Hope defined worry as below: 'To worry means to think about problems that might happen in a way that leaves you feeling anxious or apprehensive. Worry is experienced as a chain of thoughts and images which can progress in increasingly catastrophic and unlikely directions. It is often experienced as uncontrollable and seems to take on a life of its own.' Notice the worry : Butler and hope suggested to stop for a while and notice the worry. Second step is to understand whether the worry is outcome of a current problem or it is an hypothetical situation Hypothetical Situation - are about things that do not currently exist,but which might happen in the future. Eg. What if I fail in exam, My friend might not come today to help me Current Problem - are about actual prob...

The Crossroads Model

Today, I would like to share with an idea, THE CROSSROADS MODEL SO WHAT NEXT? We all have times in our lives when we find ourselves at a crossroads, and ask ourselves: where now? The crossroads model is inspired by The Personal Compass, developed by San Francisco consulting agency The Grove, and helps you to find your direction in life. Fill in the model on the basis of the following questions: WHERE HAVE YOU COME FROM? How have you become who you are? What have been the main decisions, events and obstacles in your life, and who were your main influences? Think about your education, your home, where you grew up. And make a note of keywords that strike you as important. WHAT IS REALLY IMPORTANT TO YOU? Write down the first three things that come into your head. You don’t have to go into detail or be specific. What are your values? What do you believe in? Which principles are important to you? When everything fails, what remains? WHICH PEOPLE ARE IMPORTANT ...
