Living A Zen Lifestyle

[Cara Canellas]

Iam the middle of three brothers and was born and raised in the lovely state of Washington. My family is very close-knit and we love to have fun. I frequently preferred spending time with my vast extended family versus going to parties and activities with friends since we are all so close.

I have interests than merely picking a career. I also frequently decide at random whatever new task or talent I wish to master, with different degrees of success. Examples of this include mixed martial arts (MMA), Argentine tango, capoeira, fire dance, surfing, rock climbing, making flutes from wood pipes, virtual reality (VR), and Star Trek trivia, to mention a few. It keeps things exciting.

Since 2013, my companion Sarah Hughes and I have been traveling the world full-time. Sarah is a travel writer and co-owner of many websites. Together, we manage a variety of specialized blogs and websites and take pleasure in discovering the globe. To provide our viewers with the most current and helpful information so they can better plan their vacations and lifestyles, we collaborate with tourist boards, destinations, hotels, and other brands throughout the globe.

In Scandinavia we are better on cooking from scratch, using more healthy alternatives like rye, seeds, berries, and mushrooms that you can pick from the forest. We have more toxic-free products in the supermarkets, something that I am missing living in Australia. However, I have combined my tips on what you can do to have a happy healthy clean-living lifestyle.

Simple tricks you can use to make sure you are on track for Clean Living Lifestyle. Replacing white flour with wholemeal bread, or homemade bread. Replacing white rice with brown or red cargo rice. Instead of buying lemonade as treat, make your own from lemons. Bake your own bread with wholemeal flour and nuts and seeds.

Start thinking about what you consume and how you a with small changes make a difference. Other tips are using local co-op, farmers market, buying in bulk. Bulk buying when possible is cheaper as well. Using your own bags when buying vegetables example.

Get label savvy, check on what is in the yoghurt you buy, how much sugar, fat. Is the honey you get natural or replicate? Start cooking your own foods. Start making your own oven chips, why buy packed from supermarket?

Yes you heard me. Limiting time, you spent on a computer, screen time, the mobile phone you name it. Instead replace these with healthier habits like reading a real book, (no kindle). Taking a walk in the forest, beach. Getting out and being active with your kids. Play a board game.

Setting times of the day when no mobile / ipads are on sight. Just live with your kids the everyday life that you ought to. Spent time with family, bake, cook, clean, read, sow whatever makes you happy.

To change these habits are hard as we might have been using the same products for years. But have we ever thought about what the products contain? Have you read the labels? I had not until I started to investigate them more carefully.

My favourite is vegan skincare brand Paudha Healing as that is organic, vegan and toxic-free. I also use Lumene that is a Finnish brand well loved and liked where they use sustainable products that are sourced in Finland, no animal testing and the products are vegan-friendly and paraben-free.

Simply start replacing one product at the time. Same goes to your shampoo and conditioner. When you run out next just start looking at what you can replace it with that is not full with products that you would not want to put into your skin or hair. Look alternatives like a shampoo bar by Biome and see how you can clean your hair without your favorite shampoo as well as with shampoo bar.

However, I use a few drops of tea tree or eucalyptus oil with 1/3 or white vinegar and 2/3 or water. I use this to clean surfaces, however, if you are not into creating your own there are plenty of alternative products that are not processed and have harmful chemicals.

Studies show that vinegar is left more than 60 seconds on the surface is as effective on killing those germs as any product from the supermarket shelf. You can try for example Ecostore brand that is in the supermarkets as well.

How can we survive without plastic? Plastic packaging, wipes, food wraps how can we do without them? I use beeswax wraps on our sandwiches. Instead of plastic bags. I buy whole foods so that they are already packed eco-friendly. Or if I go to the supermarket I have my reusable bags (mesh net type) that I can put my vegetables in. Instead of wipes can we use cloth wipes that are reusable and washable.

It is hard to think about what we are doing to our environment, food and ourselves with all this plastic but we need to do better. There are lots of alternatives out there. You just need to find them. There was an article recently that talked about the amount plastic we consume daily from water and food. The amount was the size of a credit card.

Our society teaches us how to live life by focussing on the outside, making it all about what we can see and what is tangible. The buzzword in this context is lifestyle, which often corresponds to a certain image of life: this can be good food with a glass of wine, holidays on the beach or life in the countryside.

For example, we grow up with a certain idea and picture that celebrating an occasion involves lots of food and alcohol, a certain kind of music and location and if all this is supplied we consider it a good party. However, do we really enjoy ourselves? Or do we actually just numb ourselves and at times even knock ourselves out to take the edge off life and not feel what is going on with all the dynamics that are playing out?

Livingness also means to allow oneself to strengthen the connection to a place of stillness within and to allow oneself more moments to reflect back on the body and this inner place of stillness, which serves us greatly throughout the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

To support oneself to listen to the body and to re-establish contact with that inner wisdom is an enormous blessing for everyone, as then we no longer are dependent on the whims of the market and the latest trends, but instead know what we really need inside and what is actually nurturing for us.

After 5 years of traveling back and forth to Italy, meeting many people, speaking to them, etc. now I understand the Italian way of life. And since I moved to Italy in 2020, I understand it even better.

In these moments I remember how grateful I am for finally living in the place I wanted to, and smile to the sun. And, my favorite part of dolce far niente, that the best, or most creative ideas always come at that time! Without actually thinking about anything!

Just enjoy the little things in life, and time brings everything when the time is right! If you can truly adopt this mentality, you can easily live the Italian slow-living lifestyle, and your stress level will be definitely lower!

Well, one of the essential parts of the Italian slow-living lifestyle is this! In the evenings, before dinner time, you see couples walking around the streets of the town, holding hands, chatting. You see people doing that alone (not chatting), or with friends as well. An evening walk is both calming and relaxing.

Think about the choices that you've made in your life. Are any of them sinful or leading you down a path that you should not go down? If you take a step back, are you already in a place of bondage? Now think about your future. What affect will the choices you are making today have on your future? Are your actions taking you in the right direction?If you're a Christian living a sinful lifestyle, I urge you to make an immediate change!I encourage you today, really pray and ask God to convict you of any sin in your life. Repent and surrender it to God. Begin living the life of freedom that He has given to you freely. God has better in store for us all!
