One is spending time with my daughters. Another is on stage. The other is preparing and cooking food.\u2063<br \/>\n\u2063 \u2063<br \/>\n\u2063<br \/>\nIt is meditative, creative and grounding, and it\u2019s the one act that feels more like self-care to me than any other. Taking an Epsom salt bath, getting a massage or a pedicure, taking a mental health day; all these things are priceless.\u2063<br \/>\n\u2063 \u2063<br \/>\n\u2063<br \/>\nBut cooking makes me feel most like I am physically and actively taking care of my own self, by paying very close attention to and by being 100% aware of what it is exactly that I am putting into my body. I am not only making informed choices, but I am doing it with love and attention.\u2063<br \/>\n\u2063 \u2063<br \/>\n\u2063<br \/>\nAn added bonus, if you\u2019re passionate about food, is that cooking can also be a beautiful (and delicious) way to channel your creativity.\u2063<br \/>\n\u2063 \u2063<br \/>\n\u2063<br \/>\nThis is one of the reasons I love coaching people who are interested in incorporating vegan values into their lives. It\u2019s so fun to help and inspire people and it\u2019s easy to do when it\u2019s about something I love doing so much.\u2063<br \/>\n\u2063 \u2063<br \/>\n\u2063<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is meditative, creative and grounding, and it\u2019s the one act that feels more like self-care to me than any other.
