LETTER FROM
LORNA JANE Follow me on Instagram @ljclarkson
When I think of NOURISH I think of filling my life with good food, good thoughts, good people and great work. I mean let’s face it, we are what we eat and where we go and what we become in life is ultimately determined by what we consistently do every day. This is exactly why it is critical that we get the art of nourishing right; so we can think, feel and be at our best today, tomorrow, for ourselves, for our families and for the rest of our lives. July celebrates the launch of my new book – NOURISH The Fit Woman’s Cookbook. It’s a collection of my food philosophies, recipes and a call out to all women to stop and really think about how we choose to nourish and care for ourselves and our families. Learning to nourish is an inside-out job that extends well beyond the kitchen. Think home grown moments of bliss with your handpicked bunch of besties, feeding your spirit with new experiences and living each day with purpose and intent. Every one of us has the opportunity to make mindful choices, change for the better and ultimately feel vibrant and full of life. We simply have to make the decision to embrace Active Living and to #liveloveNOURISH every moment of every day. I hope you enjoy the NOURISH edition and that it encourages you to find a little more time in your day for the things (and people) that inspire and motivate you to be the very best version of yourself.

NOURISHING YOU. YOU ARE AN HONOURED GUEST IN YOUR OWN MIND
BELIEVE
HERE’S SIX SELF-LOVIN’ TIPS TO PRACTICE EVERY DAY: hat if I told you that, in the recipe for a beautiful life, loving yourself is the key ingredient? Buddhist teacher Thich Nhat Hanh says, “to be beautiful means to be yourself. You don’t need to be accepted by others. You need to accept yourself.” In theory it sounds easy, yet if you’re anything like me, that critical inner voice (your ego) can be a sturdy opponent. • • •
PERHAPS SHE THINKS INDULGENT? PERHAPS SHE THINKS PERHAPS SHE THINKS LOVE - FROM OTHERS
// LITTLE THINGS: Our culture defines personal worth by the prestige of our jobs, cars and houses. The way I see it, we’ve got it all wrong. Focus first on the little gratitudes already in your life, to truly appreciate the ‘big stuff'. // VALUE YOU: Applaud yourself for your general awesomeness. The mind has a habit of magnetising towards the negative, self-deflating ways of thinking. Build yourself up, buttercup, by celebrating the good in you.
LOVING YOURSELF IS SELF-LOVE IS SELFISH? YOU’RE NOT WORTHY OF OR YOURSELF?
IT’S NOT. IT’S NOT. AND YOU ARE. When your inner critic strikes or the opinions of others block your way, quieten your mind, draw your attention inward and listen to your inner soul sister. What is she saying? What does she want? Think of her as an honoured guest, and feed her your love and attention. Understand that self-love is a moment to practice. It’s not an exhaustive goal that you tick off your list, only to move on. Cultivating a healthy love and respect for yourself means making small, subtle shifts in perception. Shifting the compass towards inner calm and confidence for a drenchedin-happiness way of life.
// BOUNDARIES: Set (and honour) personal boundaries. Switch off the computer at 5pm to go and live your beautiful life. Spend quality, tech-free time with friends and family and take your favourite gym or craft classes, often. // EXPERIENCE LIFE: Adopt a ‘can do’ attitude, fill your life with rich experiences and paint each day a new colour. // LAUGH, OFTEN: Spend time with people who make you laugh from the rumbling depths of your belly. // MNB: Live the Lorna Jane Active Living philosophy and Move, Nourish, Believe every day. Imagine how it would feel to forget what others think. To live freely, knowing your only measure of success is how well you love and how much you live every single day. Let’s cast off external validation, silence our inner critics and strengthen the beauty, love and kindness of our soul sister within.
“When you nourish yourself with kind thoughts like acceptance, love and compassion, you’ll naturally foster inner strength and radiate a quiet confidence.”
When you nourish yourself with kind thoughts like acceptance, love and compassion, you’ll naturally foster inner strength and radiate a quiet confidence. The value you place in the opinions of others will melt away, and by shining your own light, you'll unconsciously give others permission to do the same. The best news? You can’t fail at loving yourself, because you are love.

NOURISH
PSY-COLOUR-GY Nourish psycolourgy goes a little deeper into our MNB spirit. This way of thinking is all about understanding how nourishing your body with the colour of foods can make you feel. Nurturing your body with shades of colour creates the ambience in your soul and the sparkle in your skin. It’s about tapping into a food’s inherently vast properties and understanding that foods can be used as an emotional apparatus. WHAT COLOUR WILL YOU CREATE AND PAINT YOUR MNB WORLD WITH TODAY?

HOW TO CREATE A FEELING OF SUNSHINE + HAPPINESS ORANGES: Not only are they bright in colour, but oranges contain enormous amounts of vitamin C, which has been known to combat stress and be kind to your adrenals. Added bonus: you can tote them anywhere.

HOW TO CREATE A FEELING OF BIG + BOLD STRENGTH PINEAPPLE: High in vitamin C and digestive enzymes the help improve the absorption of nutrients. Good to know: they have anti-inflammatory properties, which can help boost the immune system.
HOW TO CREATE A FEELING OF COOL + CALM BLUEBERRIES: They may seem small but these berries utterly beat the blues away. Packed with a punch of antioxidants and vitamin C making them total stress-busters. Add to your morning granola or green smoothie. HOW TO CREATE A FEELING OF BRIGHTNESS + CLARITY MATCHA (a green tea powder): Contains an amino acid called theanine, which acts as a brain booster. Drink two cups each day.

HOW TO CREATE THAT GET-UP-AND-GLOW FEELING EGGS: Sunny-side up or over easy, there’s no wonder sporty sisters all over the world start their morning with these yellow yolks. Big day ahead? They will give you the energy you need to put a spring in your step with their huge volume of B vitamins and protein.

PREPARE TODAY
TO SUCCEED
While today is the main event, preparing for tomorrow’s success is an opportunity you shouldn’t take for granted. As we set about visualising our life goals, from landing that dream job, running a marathon or travelling the world, simple every day preparation is just as important to set yourself up for triumph.
TOMORROW Slimline Headband (Folded), Amy 3/4 Tights, Pammy Bra, Why Not T-Shirt, Vegan Leather Cap
One success we can certainly vouch for is preparing to flourish in the nourishing department. Think of it like this: plan your meals for the week ahead on Saturday, take a trip to the farmers markets or grocer on Sunday, then spend the afternoon prepping. Come Monday, you will wake up fresh eyed shouting “hello!” to a new week of nourishment. By practicing the “P” word, you are simply equipping yourself to perform at your best. Trust us, there is no greater feeling than marvelling in the fruits of your labour and seeing a neatly stacked fridge ready with tomorrow’s meals. By being prepared and well nourished, you will in turn see other aspects of your every day flourish. See, the perks of being prepared are pretty powerful. 3 ADDITIONAL THINGS YOU CAN DO TONIGHT TO PREPARE FOR TOMORROW · Pick what you want to wear and lay it out – this will motivate you to get up and get going without hesitation. LJ Stripe Gym Towel, Strong Sports Bra, Iconic Glass Water Bottle, MNB Ultimate Fit Girl Planner, Horizon Run Short, LJ Laser MP3/Phone Holder, MNB Bracelet
· Like you would your weekly meals, plan out your move activity and let no excuse get in your way from that strength session. · Write a to-do list before you go to bed - this will clear your mind for a restful nights slumber and have you ready to conquer a new day. Every day is a new beginning. Take a deep breath – you’ve got this!
