1. You have high levels of anxiety, racing thoughts and/or panic attacks
2. You are always feeling overwhelmed
3. You seem to be comparing yourself to others a lot
4. You are glued to your phone and social media
5. Negative talk gets your excited
6. You feel disconnected from the world

Do you relate to any of these? If so, be honest with yourself about your thoughts/behaviors and dive in and try a mind detox! I've included some suggestions below to help you move away from negative thoughts and towards a more positive and healthy mindset. 

1. Creative a list of positive experiences you enjoy/love for yourself
​2. Find a hobby you enjoy
3. Engage in daily meditation (traditional or active)
4. Start Journaing  and reflecting back on positive moments and experiences
5. Engage in physical activity
6. Spend time outdoors!
7. Unplug for a few hours

TIP: Make extra. This is killer!
​Total Prep Time: 5 Minutes ​

• 1 cup chopped dinosaur kale
• 1/4 cup sunflower seeds
• 1/4 cup Nutritional Yeast
• 1/4 cup hemp oil (or olive oil)
• Sea salt and black pepper (to taste)
• ½ cup From the Sea Guacamole (optional) - recipe below

3. Transfer to serving plate
4. Add sunflower seeds to top
5. If you choose, add From the Sea Guacamole (see below) on top of salad

TIPS & NOTES

• Tip: Add a 1/2 cup of cooked quinoa for added protein and texture
• Notes: This salad is plentiful in B vitamins and is also calcium rich

​INGREDIENTS

• 2 well-ripened avocados (pit and skin removed)
• 1 clove garlic, minced (or garlic powder used to your preference)
• 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
• 1/4 cup finely chopped kelp (optional)
• 1 small tomato, diced
• 2 scallions or 1/4 onion, minced
• 1/4 cup tahini
• 3 tablespoons brown rice miso paste
• Freshly squeezed juice from 1/2 lemon
• 1 jalapeño, stem removed and minced (optional)

 
PREPARATION

1. Mash avocados, add everything else and mash some more.  You can process everything in a food processor.

​TIPS & NOTES

• Tip: For a creamier guacamole, add a few spoons of Vegan Cream Sauce.
• Tip: Keep refrigerated in airtight container for up to 1 week.  It will naturally turn brown but is absolutely fine to eat.  You can store the pit in the container to help with some browning.

 
Great on crackers, tortillas, on tacos, in chili or in a wrap!
