I came across this Instagram post recently and it really struck a chord with me. Not because it promised a new routine, habit or life overhaul but because it focused on less, not more. In a world that constantly tells us we need to add, upgrade, optimise and hustle, it felt like a breath of fresh air. Here are a few ideas from it that really landed, and that feel especially relevant as we move towards 2026.
This year, instead of viewing Christmas as a dietary battlefield, let's embrace a kinder, more realistic approach.
A hearty, nourishing salad packed with roasted carrots, lentils, nuts and warming spices, perfect for busy days when you still want something wholesome. We enjoyed this salad on our last Winter day retreat, we kept it vegan but I was dying to sprinkle on blue cheese!
