Welcome to Living Well Daily, the newsletter serving up a daily dose of care designed to support you, cheer you on and remind you, always, just how wonderful you already are.

In Today’s Edition:

Hey you!
Yes, YOU!
You’re brilliant, brave, and full of possibility.
Don’t forget how majestically awesome you are! ✨

Many of us unconsciously attach our worth to conditions: “I’ll be worthy when I succeed. When I’m thinner. When I’m more productive. When I’m less emotional. When I’m finally enough.”

These rules can quietly shape how we treat ourselves, making self-acceptance feel like something we have to earn. But your worth isn’t something you achieve. It isn’t something you win. It isn’t something that disappears when you struggle. 

Your worth is inherent.

A gentle journaling invitation:

•✍️ Complete the sentence: “I feel worthy when…”
•✍️ Notice patterns: success, appearance, productivity, being helpful, being perfect
•✍️ Ask: “Who taught me this rule about worth?”
•✍️ Ask: “What would it feel like if my worth didn’t depend on this?”

Affirming a deeper truth:

•🌱 My worth isn’t conditional
•🫶 I don’t need to earn the right to exist
•💛 I am worthy even when I’m messy, tired, healing, or unsure
•🪞 I am allowed to value myself without proving anything

You don’t have to pass a test to deserve love, rest, dignity, or belonging.

✅ Action step: Write one sentence today that begins with: “My worth does not depend on… because my worth is inherent.”

Chronic inflammation is linked to aging, joint pain, heart disease, and low energy, but certain herbs have anti-inflammatory compounds that can help lower inflammation in the body naturally. Adding them to meals, teas, or supplements can support long-term health.

1. Turmeric: Is rich in curcumin, shown to reduce inflammatory markers and support joint health. Great to use in curries or other recipes.

2. Ginger: Helps lower inflammation and may reduce muscle soreness and digestive irritation. Fantastic to use in cooking or in teas.

3. Rosemary: Contains rosmarinic acid, which supports immune and brain health. This is another great herb to use in cooking.

4. Cinnamon: Can improve blood sugar control and reduce inflammatory signalling. It is delicious in oatmeal and smoothies.

5. Garlic: Supports immune function and reduces oxidative stress thanks to allicin. An absolute staple in our house that goes in almost every savoury dish. 

These herbs aren’t magic; they work best in concentrated supplemented form, but they still provide benefits as part of a whole-food diet.

✅ Action step: Add one anti-inflammatory herb to a meal or drink today, like sprinkling cinnamon on oatmeal, adding ginger to tea, or cooking with turmeric. Small daily additions can make an impact.
