Check in with yourself this month

A practical note for the fourth week of the year. This week in January often feels less about big intentions, and more about taking things one day at a time - especially when it comes to food. Right now, meals that don't need much planning or extra energy can make all the difference. Below, we're sharing a few simple ways of eating that our community has told us feel most supportive when life feels a little full.

Whether you embrace it wholeheartedly or would rather skip past it, Valentine's Day can sometimes feel inescapable. From conversations with friends to shop windows filled with everything heart-shaped, it's hard not to notice it. Here at DE, we like to see this time of year as a gentle reminder – not just to celebrate love for others, but to check in with yourself too. To slow down, tune in, and show yourself a little kindness, not just today, but all year round. For us, self-love doesn't have to be complicated or extravagant. It's often found in the small, nourishing rituals that help us feel grounded and well – so we've pulled together a few of our favourite ways to care for ourselves, no red roses or cupids required.

Nourishing yourself is one of the most powerful acts of self-care. Taking a little extra time to prepare something wholesome and comforting can make all the difference to how you feel – both physically and mentally. This tofu katsu curry is one of our go-to recipes when we want something deeply nourishing and satisfying.

Sometimes, a few quiet minutes to reset your mindset can be incredibly powerful. This guided meditation focuses on self-acceptance and compassion – a simple practice to remind yourself that you are already enough.

Never underestimate the power of sleep. When life feels busy or overwhelming, rest can be the most loving thing you give yourself. A calm evening and an early night can work wonders for restoring your energy and sense of balance. So whether you're a believer in Valentine's Day or not, we hope this feels like a gentle nudge to slow down, listen to yourself and do something kind - just for you. Team DE x
