This Week's Goal

This week’s goal is to drink more water. There are so many reasons why we should drink more water. Water hydrates you and can help you lose weight since it fills you up. It will help your digestion and flush out toxins. Your skin texture will improve and you will feel more alert.

Some of our team members in the office have struggled with this goal in the past, but there are some tricks you can use to make it easier.  Drink a glass of water before each meal, one with each meal and snack, and a glass of water in the evening, then you’ve had about 7-9 glasses which is great. And think of all the exercise you’ll get running to the bathroom all day long! Don’t forget to drink water out of a glass or a reusable bottle. 

Good luck!

Flower boxes

We love these flower boxes. Not just because our favorite color is white, but because they are simple and elegant.

Meditation

 

Stellibell is so much more than just saving time cooking and eating healthy. It’s also about quality of life overall and enjoying each moment. Today when you’re cooking try to forget the noise and stress around you. Stay in the moment and focus on just what you are doing that second. Focus on cutting up the veggies, listen to the chicken as it’s frying in the pan and smell the different flavors as they spread in your kitchen. Cooking is a form of mediation that is good for body, mind and soul.

Happy cooking!

Weekly Goal

The team here at Stellibell is close knit group who are passionate about and always thinking about how we can become better people and make the world a better place. One thing we’ve done for some time now and that works well is that we come up with a new rule every week that we have to follow. The purpose of the rule is to create a new habit that will make us better people and that way also make the world a better place.

By adding new things slowly we have managed to change our behavior to the better (ok, some haven’t stuck as easily as we would hope….and we’ve had them as goals for several weeks…but it’s about the journey not the goal, right?) Moving forward we will share our weekly goal with you here and you can join us or try your own goals.

This week’s goal is to only think positive thoughts about ourselves.  Easier said than done. We can be pretty critical and too often think – ah, I’m such an idiot! This does more damage than you think. By being mean to ourselves we are allowing others to do the same. Not cool. So starting today, no more!

Delivery Day!

Time to deliver orders! If you are member you can look forward many delish meals this week. Burgers with a twist from Thailand and Grilled Chicken with brown rice and mint sauce, just to mention two. Yes, definitely trying to entice you ;)
