One last episode before the season break. Feeling anxious? Too much doom spiraling? Would you define yourself as a chronic overthinker? Joseph Nguyen’s book helps you break out of those mental traps and move towards a calmer mental state. It’s a quick read with lots of great strategies to try and things to consider.

Recipe: Today’s recipe is not a meal so much as a little meal prep. It’s slow cooker shredded chicken. All you will need is a slow cooker, 1 to 2 pounds of boneless chicken breasts and a cup of broth or water. You could add in spices or seasonings like oregano, lemon pepper, paprika, etc. especially if you already know exactly how you will be using the chicken. A splash of lemon or lime juice would probably be good too. Now, pay close attention because this is tough. Put the chicken, liquid, and any seasonings you chose to use in the slow cooker. Set it to high for 2-3 hours or low for 4-5 hours. Walk away and go about your day until the time is up. Once it’s cooked, remove the chicken and place it in a bowl or cutting board to shred with a couple of forks. It should spread pretty easily. Then it is done! You can use it on salads, sandwiches, quesadillas, pasta dishes, stir-frys, or soups!
