Shakespeare and Aristotle had it right all along: Self-awareness is where its at (To thine own self be true and Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom, respectively, were the OG #inspo). What exactly is being the most authentic, best version of you anyway? Your best self is where you experience the highest level of growth in your character, you operate in your unique gifts and skills, and you use those things to impact the world around you in a positive way, explained Dr. Josh Axe, doctor of natural medicine and clinical nutritionistand best-selling author. As if we needed more incentive to find our true north, studieshave found that identifying with the concept of true self leads to a stronger sense of well-being and purpose.

It sounds easy enough to achieve in theory, but we all have mental hang-ups that get in the way of realizing our fullest potential and becoming our best selves. The good news is you can overcome these obstacles with toolswhat Dr. Axe calls mindshiftswhich will help elevate your thinking so you can live authentically. Whether you want to gain physical, mental, or financial health, improve the quality of your relationships, or level up your career, shifting your mindset will give you the boost you need to transform your life by reshaping your beliefs. Ahead, four common mental blocks that may be stopping you from tapping into best-self energy and the mindshift Dr. Axe recommends for each one.

No matter where your preconceived notions were formedyour upbringing, education, past experiences, relationships, society, mediathey make a difference in whether you run the marathon or quit before you even begin, are part of a loving relationship or find dating hopeless, or discover your passion or remain stuck at a dead-end job. As Dr. Axe explains, your beliefs may be the single greatest determining factor of what your future will look like. Beliefs are so strong that false beliefs (I am not smart) can overpower what is actually true (I can learn), Dr. Axe explained. When left unchallenged, limiting beliefs will keep you from becoming the person you were born to be.

Thats where flipping the script, or in his words, unlimiting your beliefs, comes in. A limiting belief about the self (such as I cant) literally limits us, telling us whats not possible. So, an unlimiting belief (I can) tells us what is possible. To identify beliefs, you need to switch from limited to unlimited and ask what false narratives have kept you from chasing your dreams or being the best version of yourself. Try unlimiting any negative beliefs that have become the soundtrack of your life with affirmations, journaling, or visualization. The more you practice turning those I cants into I cans, the more itll become second nature.

We all strive to be successful, but were so focused on the end goal that we dont acknowledge or enjoy the journey and what we pick up along the way. An accomplishing mindset associates success with the accumulation of achievements or possessions, Dr. Axe conveyed. Our success isnt about what we accomplish, its about who we become. Instead of fixating on our to-do lists, we should be creating to-be lists instead. Our goal should be becoming the greatest versions of ourselves in character and skill and using those to bless others. True success is about maximizing your unique skills for the greater good.

So, how do we adopt a becoming mindset? According to Dr. Axe, it takes developing good character and healthy relationships. Heres a foolproof formula: Follow through on your promises, treat everyone kindly, reflect on whether your actions align with your future best self, nurture meaningful connections by spending quality time and practicing open communication, and set and respect boundaries. In other words, focus less on what you want to accomplish and more on who you want to be.

Between limiting beliefs, endless mind chatter, comparisons on social media, and the everyday pressures of work andrelationships, its no wonder we get stuck in ruts. But when we are mindful of our actionsfrom how we spend our time to who we spend our time withwe can realize our purpose and potential. When you are self-aware, you are mindful of what is happening to you and in you, rather than letting it consume and overwhelm you, Dr. Axe expressed. You can recognize your blind spots, your weaknesses, and areas needing improvement. Self-awareness allows you to discover where you are now so you can get to where you truly want to be. Start practicing this mindfulness by learning how to pause (think: taking a walk, doing breathing exercises, saying affirmations), reflecting on who you are today and who you want to be, incorporating regular and consistent movement, and expressing gratitude.

Your why, or your purpose in life, is going to look different than your BFFs or your S.O.s, but it will be the missions, passions, or dreams that make you excited to wake up every day. Dr. Axe believes that each of us has multiple purposes. The point is that finding a passion or mission that you connect deeply to allows you to feel like your life has value, meaning, and a specific purpose. When you live life with purpose, you adjust your lifestyle choices and behaviors to align with it (AKA best-self energy).

Unsure what your purpose is? Think about what lights a fire under you, what leaves you wanting more, and what are your greatest strengths. Put pen to paper to self-reflect, work through your thoughts, and explore your feelings, or visualize your future self and what youd be doing by creating a vision board. At the end of the day, the purpose of being your best self is to live your purpose, so start with your why and your best self will follow.

Mental Blocks to Overcome to Be Your Best Self - The Everygirl

In the quest for longevity and health, the concept of Blue Zonesareas where people live significantly longer liveshas captured global attention. Exercise, social interaction, and a focus on plant-forward eating are common traits of the five global Blue Zones, namely Sardinia, Italy; Okinawa, Japan; the Nicoya Peninsula in Costa Rica; Ikaria, Greece; and Loma Linda, CA in the US.

Could new Blue Zones emerge in the United States? Insights from Forbes Health and HappyCow are pointing to three US cities where the Blue Zones habits echo those of locales where people tend to live the longest. The cities with emerging Blue Zones, and where plant-based fare is king, are Los Angeles, CA; Portland, OR; and New York City, according to theinsights.

The methodologies of Forbes Health and HappyCow, while distinct in their focus, share a common theme in evaluating factors that contribute to healthier and more sustainable living environments.

Forbes Healths approach is centered on identifying potential Blue Zones within the US by examining a range of lifestyle factors, including the availability of plant-based foods, levels of physical activity, community engagement, sleep patterns, life expectancy, and the presence of centenarians.

HappyCow, on the other hand, specifically targets the vegan-friendly nature of cities by assessing the density and variety of vegan businesses, including restaurants, shops, and bakeries, within a 10-kilometer (6.2-mile) radius of city centers.

The growth of vegan businesses and qualitative factors such as the ease of finding vegan options and the citys overall engagement with veganism are also crucial components of HappyCows evaluation.

The overlap in these methodologies suggests a significant link between the rise of vegan-friendly cities and the characteristics of Blue Zones. Both approaches recognize the importance of plant-based diets in promoting health and longevity.

In Los Angeles, the vegan scene, despite a 27 percent decline in the number of vegan businesses since HappyCows last report in 2022, continues to be vibrant and diverse. The city boasts 61 fully vegan restaurants, alongside a total of 145 vegan businesses, and 652 vegan-friendly listings on HappyCow.

Ubuntu

New establishments in 2023 include Ubuntu, a vegan West African restaurant from NYC transplant chef Shenarri Freeman, and The Moody Vegan, a bakery and caf. Upscale dining options such as Shojin and Crossroads Kitchen offer luxurious plant-based cuisine, while affordable options like Seoreata and Malinalli Superfoods cater to budget-conscious consumers.

Unique spots such as Justines Wine Bar, Vegan Playground, and Besties Vegan Paradise exemplify the citys rich and varied vegan offerings. Despite the geographic spread of these options, Los Angeles maintains its reputation as a vegan haven.

Moreover, new additions such as Hart House (owned by comedian Kevin Hart) continue to bring a celebrity flare to LAs plant-based food scene.

Despite Californias ranking as the tenth place in Forbes Healths list, largely due to its lower walkability score and higher percentage of inactive adults, Los Angeles shines in its number of vegan and vegetarian restaurants.

The states commitment to plant-based eating, Forbes Health found, is evident in its 755 vegan and/or vegetarian establishments, signaling a shift towards the dietary patterns celebrated in Blue Zones.

Portland, making a comeback on the 2024 list of the worlds most vegan-friendly cities, showcases a high density of vegan establishments relative to its population. The city features 53 all-vegan restaurants, 102 vegan businesses, and a total of 574 listings on HappyCow.

Chubby Bunny PDX

Among the newest additions in 2023 are breakfast truck haven Chubby Bunny, cocktail resto-bar June, and XO Bar, serving Southeast Asian-inspired cuisine. Feral offers an upscale dining experience with a focus on foraged and wild food. Affordable dining options include Speed-o Cappuccino and Daily Fuel.

Unique destinations such as El Salto PDX (serving Venezuelan comfort foods); Baby Ketten Klub (a vegan karaoke bar); and Ice Queen (a frozen dessert bar) highlight Portlands diverse and thriving vegan culture.

In line with the Blue Zone criteria, the state of Oregonwhere Portland is the largest cityranked seventh in Forbes Healths analysis, primarily due to its high number of vegetarian/vegan restaurants, which comes to approximately 23 per million residents.

Additionally, the states emphasis on adequate sleep, with 68 percent of adults getting seven hours of sleep per night, plays a crucial role in overall health and longevity.

This year, HappyCows list has expanded to include 20 top vegan cities and New York City comes in at number 15a dip from previous years as new cities, such as Hamburg, Germany and Lisbon, Portugal move in on top spots, Cebuliak explains.

Ras Plant Based

Often hailed as the international food capital, NYC still offers an astonishing variety of plant-based options. Eateries such as P.S. Kitchen, Ras Plant Based, Aunt Et Uncles, and May Kaidee highlight the diversity, serving everything from artisanal plates and authentic vegan pizza to the finest Thai cuisine. The citys commitment to veganism doesnt stop at restaurants. Vegan bakeries, including Erin McKennas Bakery and Rawsome Treats, are becoming staple destinations for those seeking plant-based indulgence.

NYC is where to get your vegan fast-food fix, too, with options such as Neat Burger, Slutty Vegan, and PLNT Burger all available to residents throughout the city.

Forbes Healths analysis found that approximately 15 percent of New Yorkers meet their daily fruit intake, and 14 percent meet their vegetable requirements, surpassing national averages. The citys high walk score, indicative of pedestrian-friendly environments, aligns with the Blue Zone characteristic of natural movement, promoting daily physical activity in urban life.

One added health bonus here is that the citys mayor, Eric Adams, has been on a plant-based journey since 2016 and has implemented several initiatives in schools and hospitals to make plant-based eating more accessible and appealing to New Yorkers.

In New York, Los Angeles, and Portland, the growth of the vegan lifestyle mirrors the traitsfirst identified in 2004 by National Geographic fellow Dan Buettnerthat Blue Zones have in common such as diets heavy in plant-based foods, natural physical activity, strong community ties, and stress reduction techniques.

As such, the availability and accessibility of plant-based foods in these cities reflect a deeper understanding of health and the environment. The emphasis on natural movement aligns with the Blue Zone principle of incorporating physical activity into daily life.

Moreover, the sense of community, particularly evident in the strong vegan scenes of these cities, echoes the social connectedness observed in Blue Zones.

In addition to New York, California, and Oregon, Forbes Health also points to Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Hawaii, and Maine as states with the highest Blue Zone traits. Outside of the US, HappyCow has named Lisbon, Bangkok, Paris, Hamburg, Amsterdam, Barcelona, Berlin, and (its top city) London as leaders in plant-based food options.

Its encouraging to observe a growing mainstream trend towards vegan options in urban areas, building momentum as more people relate their health, the environment, and animal welfare to their plate, Cebuliak says.

We believe this has the potential to catalyze significant lifestyle shifts, with plant-based eating becoming a default choice for many, Cebuliak says. This could lead to a collective improvement in health outcomes and a greater public consciousness regarding sustainable living.

These Top 3 Vegan Food Cities Are Poised to Become Blue Zones - VegNews

It might not be the first thing you think of in association with the United Kingdom, but its undeniable that Brits love crisps. (Or chips, for US readers.) The savory scents, countless flavors, and satisfying crunch combine to make crisps of all kinds some of the most popular snacks both here and around the world. However, the UKs singular devotion to the salty treat remains unparalleled.

Brits alone consume around 6 billion packets of crisps annually thats an average of around 150 packs each per year plus another 4.4 billion bags of other assorted savory snacks as well, which is more than everyone else in Europe put together. The UK crisp market is predicted to reach a whopping 2.6 billion by 2024, with analysts also noting a drift towards premium and luxury brands in recent years.

Clearly labeled vegan crisps have also become increasingly commonplace, though long before the ongoing boom in plant-based products many different brands and supermarkets were producing accidentally vegan crisps and snacks. Because changing recipes and ingredients can be a little tricky to stay on top of, we at Plant Based News have prepared this comprehensive guide to vegan crisps, organized by brand.

(Please note: many of the crisps included in this list contain no animal products, but are not explicitly labeled as vegan due to the risk of cross-contamination during production. Recipes are subject to change you should always check before you buy. This list concerns crisps in the UK, and recipes may differ in other countries).

Walkers is the single largest brand in the UK for savory snacks. The Leicester-based company produces approximately 11 million bags of crisps per day and uses 800 tons of potatoes to make them. (Thats the weight equivalent of around 20 humpback whales!)

Walkers launched three new vegan crisp flavors for Veganuary 2024, which are Grilled Cheese Toastie, Vegan BBQ Pork Ribs, and Vegan Flame Grilled Steak. The Unbelievable! range is dedicated to providing meaty and cheesy crisp flavors without animal products.

Walkers Unbelievable! Vegan range of crisps our latest launch signals our commitment to continue to offer choice to consumers, said Rachael Smith, Senior Marketing Manager, in a statement. We always strive to ensure shoppers dont have to compromise on taste when making a dietary choice. You honestly wont believe theyre vegan!

Many of the core Walkers range are already vegan-friendly, including Ready Salted, Prawn Cocktail, Marmite, Worcester Sauce, Pickled Onion, Roast Chicken, and of course, Salt & Vinegar. (Ones to avoid include BBQ Pulled Pork, which includes real animal-derived pork powder, and Cheese & Onion, which contains milk or whey powder.)

Only the Sea Salt, Sticky Barbecue, and Prawn Cocktail flavor Baked crisps are vegan, as the majority of the range contains powdered milk or whey in the seasoning blend. (RIP Salt & Vinegar.) Milk powders might be used for a variety of reasons, including to enhance the flavor or to help the flavorings cake on the crisps.

Sensations (which is technically another Walkers venture, as so many of these varieties are) was created as a fancy alternative to the core range. Sensations come in a mix of flavors, but only a select few are vegan-friendly. However, its worth noting that the Sweet Chili Peanuts are suitable for vegans too!

Walkers Squares are a super-vinegary lunchbox staple thanks to their strong flavor and big crunch. They also come in a mix of flavors but Ready Salted and Salt & Vinegar are vegan.

The Max range was designed by Walkers around a ridged crisp shape, which the company marketed as holding additional flavor. Launched in 1999, Walkers Max crisps were another particularly iconic school lunch item through to the mid-noughties.

Sunbites is another Walkers venture that was launched in 2007 as a healthier alternative to conventional fried potato crisps. Sunbites are made of three whole grains (corn, wheat, and oats) and baked instead of fried. Compared to other varieties, they are relatively high in protein and fiber without sacrificing on flavor or crunch.

Cheesy Quavers might be off-limits for those following a vegan diet, but the new-old flavors of Salt & Vinegar and Prawn Cocktail are both made without dairy products. (Did you know the secret ingredient for Quavers unique texture is potato starch?)

In 1966, Frito-Lays Doritos actually became the very first nationally available tortilla chip in the US. Known for their sharp crunch and bold flavors, UK customers have access to just a small number of Doritos flavors, including two vegan-friendly staples.

Hula Hoops have been a UK staple since 1973 and are unique for their hollow, cylindrical shape. (How many can you fit on your fingers?)

KPs Discos were another 1970s launch and were popularized for their unique texture and strong flavor. There are a few varieties, but currently only Salt & Vinegar are vegan-friendly.

Smiths crisps were established in the UK back in the 1920s before moving production to Australia a decade later. Initially sold simply as salted potato chips in a greaseproof paper bag, by 1956 the company was producing 10 million packets every week. Both Salt & Vinegar and Salt & Shake (arguably the two classic flavors) are suitable for vegans.

Cofresh is a snack brand that was set up in 1974 by an Indian family who initially produced Bombay Mix in their fish and chip shop. Today, Cofresh has a turnover of nearly 30 million. The core range includes potato-based crisps, Ganthiya, poppadom curls, and more. However, its Cofreshs Eat Real label that might be most familiar to vegans with its chickpea and quinoa-based gluten-free snacks, all of which are vegan.

Another classic from KP, Wheat Crunchies are extremely crunchy tube-shaped snacks that come in a mixture of flavors. However, only Crispy Bacon and Worcester Sauce are vegan (RIP Spicy Tomato).

Before Walkers dominance of the UK crisp market, Golden Wonder was the leading national brand. A classic-style potato chip available in a huge range of flavors.

In contrast to the majority of the crisp brands listed here, Skips are designed to melt in the mouth rather than crunch. Made with either tapioca or maize starch, Skips fizz as they dissolve, and while there have been several flavors over the years, only the original is vegan.

Another ridged crisp, McCoys are named after the Scottish idiom the real McCoy meaning authenticity, or the real deal. They are currently the third biggest brand in the bagged crisps market and the number one crinkle-cut crisp.

Invented in 1968, Pringles were initially marketed as newfangled potato chips. Because Pringles are only 42 percent potato, they have long sparked debate over whether they qualify as chips or not something that both the US Food and Drug Administration and the London High Court have weighed in on. A final fun fact: the precise aerodynamics of Pringles crisps have been optimized for processing with the help of supercomputers.

These teddy bear-shaped crisps are also made with reconstituted potato along with starch and paprika. Produced in the Netherlands, Pom Bears are now available in over 30 countries. They are available in three main flavors, and Original (ready salted) is vegan.

Nik Naks is a corn-based snack that was originally marketed as a crunchy version of Wotsits. The crisps are known for their almost hard texture and strong flavors.

Tyrrells is a widely awarded producer of crisps and snacks, but in recent years has become particularly known for its other root vegetable-based crisps which have a unique flavor. There are a wide variety of vegan options, including both potato and root veg varieties.

Best served fresh from your local corner shop or a leisure center vending machine, Space Raiders are another classic British snack still popular today. Until 2010, each bag featured a short comic strip about aliens, which has now been replaced with a set of alien stats.

In addition to the above is also a huge variety of ever-changing private-label crisps produced by supermarkets every year, and the easiest way to find the latest affordable snacks is to check the ingredients. In fact, many private-label versions of name-brand snacks are vegan whereas the originals are not. (Were looking at you, Frazzles.)

Some specific supermarket honorable mentions include Asdas Free-From Nacho Cheese Tortilla Chips, Aldis Snackrite Monster Claws and Original Teddy Faces, Sainsburys Bacon Crispies and Onion Rings, and Tescos Finest Root Vegetables & Sea Salt Potato Chips.

"I have always wanted to use my knowledge to help others, Adams states. I believe that the human experience is made better by us sharing wisdom with one another. Being able to use my journey to help teens find self-love early on in their lives, and possibly avoid some of the pitfalls that I fell into, makes my lifes purpose so much more fulfilling." More of her journey was detailed in her self-written article, published by The Elephant Journal, titled How my Time on The Bachelor Helped Kick-Start my Self-Love Journey.

According to those who know her, Adams commitment to this cause is not only evident in her motivational speeches, but also in her literary contributions.

This tale is designed not only to entertain but also to educate, instilling early seeds of self-acceptance, confidence, and love in its young readers.

Adams newly launched life coaching services are an extension of her personal experiences and the wisdom she has gained through them. Her sessions are poised to be a guiding light for many, providing strategies and insights to help individuals navigate the complexities of personal growth and self-acceptance.
