STRESS MANAGEMENT

You don't have to sit 20 minutes on an uncomfortable floor beating yourself up for being inadequately Zen.

I'm challenging you to spend "5" minutes at the beginning of your day to express gratitude and visualize the reality you want in great detail.

Create a specific mantra that includes positive "I am" statements, be compassionate and kind to yourself. Do not judge your thinking thoughts, thank and dismiss them. Remember, we all want the same things (to be happy and to be loved) and we are all connected to one another.

Breath in cherishing yourself, breathe out cherishing others. Think about people you have difficulty cherishing and extend grace and cherish them especially. The things you do not like about them are usually a direct reflection of the things you do not like about yourself.

During the day extend that gratitude attitude to everyone you meet. Practice cherishing you grocery store clerk by reading their name tag and acknowledging their presence. Continue no matter what happens!

Roasted Red Curry Chicken

Ingredients

  •  1 lb chicken breast or tenders*
  •  1 tbsp red curry paste and lime juice
  •  1 1/2 cup broccoli
  •  1/4 cup chopped shiitake mushrooms
  •  1/2 cup of each red and green cabbage
  •  yellow onions
  •  1/2 cup chopped red cabbage
  •  1/4 cup chopped onion
  •  1/2 cup chopped almonds or cashews
  •  2 tbsp of coconut flakes (optional)

Instructions
  1. Begin by heating your oven to 400 degrees. Pierce chicken breasts with a fork and place in a medium bowl. Drizzle with about 1 tablespoon cooking oil. Add red curry paste and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper. Turn to evenly coat. Let marinate for at least 5 minutes,stirring occasionally.
  2. Chop mushrooms and broccoli into bite size pieces. Slice onions and cabbage to your liking. Grate ginger unless you use the kind in a tube.
  3. Heat about 1 1/2 tbsp of cooking oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade , letting excess marinade drip off (reserve excess marinade). Carefully add chicken to hot pan. Sear 3 minutes on each side. Transfer chicken to a lightly oiled foil-lined baking sheet and roast for 10-12 minutes, or until chicken is fully cooked.
  4. Add coconut aminos and mushrooms to the reserved marinade and whisk to combine.
  5. Heat about 1 1/2 tbsp cooking in pan medium-high. Add broccoli to hot pan. Season with salt and pepper. Stir. Cook 3 minutes, or until broccoli begins to brown. Add yellow onions and ginger, stir to combine and cook for 2-3 minutes. Add marinade and cook 2-3 minutes, or until sauce is mostly reduced.
  6. Remove chicken and cut into bite size pieces or slice.
  7. Plate your dish with stir fry, chicken and then sprinkle with cashews and coconut flakes
Recipe Notes
*You may need to add a little more oil and water to sauce if it absorbs too quickly. The coconut aminos is salty so be careful to not over salt broccoli.
