Who is #notinmybelly?!

notincatsbelly

Hey there! My name is Cat Santos and I am based in Sydney, Australia. I work as a professional dancer & teacher and because of the nature of my work, I spent majority of my life working on my body and what it looked and felt like on the outside. Later in age I found myself not feeling 100%, it took my skin breaking out for me to finally explore & learn about my body on the INSIDE and how it affects me not only physically but mentally & emotionally as well. This passion led me to discover all things to do with gut-health, overall wellbeing and places & resources that support this life-style. I've created this page to share all the mind-boggling information that I keep learning about with you! Falling in love with my body on a deeper level changed my life, I hope you find a way to fall in love with yours too. Love, Cat.

This be my “mac-ington” bliss ball ✨ these babies gettin me through the @ausdancefest weekend. Safe to say my meal prep has saved my body AND my wallet this weekend! In hindsight I probably packed too much 🤭🙃 (*has fear of being hangry*) #ausdancefest

It’s not even 10:30am and I feel like I have already completed my day...✨ Got up early and went for my daily walk, sat and enjoyed a chai at the local @grindespresso , cleaned the house from top to toe with my man (yeah-he’s a keeper) and now sitting replying to e-mails and working on my #NIMB meal prep for the @ausdancefest weekend with another tea while we wait for our agent to inspect the house! It’s a damn good morning ✨☀️ Enjoy your Tuesday errrrybody! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Currently reading “Quantam Healing” by Deepak Chopra which is honestly blowing my mind but also affirming SO many things that I have been thinking about and challenging in myself. For those who don’t know what it is about - Quantam Healing explores the concept of the “mind - body” connection/the overwhelming impact of our thoughts on our physical body, how our “mind” still cannot be pin pointed or found in a physical organ (yes, that means the brain too) and evidence shown throughout history where this has been apparent. It talks about our body as a “network intelligence” and combines western medicine, Ayurveda, neuroscience and physics to explore this phenomenon. I am a very “spectrum” person. And what I mean by that is that I can see both sides of a situation at the exact same time, meaning that I never truly “commit” to an opinion and say “THIS IS EXACTLY THE TRUTH FOR EVER AND EVER!!” And what I love about this book is that is gives evidence to both belief systems in medicine! If this interests you I highly suggest getting this book!!!!! So worth the read!

Helllloooo SUNSHINE! ✨☀️🌈 This weather has woken me up craving some different types of foods... so no porridge for me today! This morning is all about loaded paleo toast 🙌🏼 Toast #1 - avocado + Swiss brown mushrooms cooked in olive oil & Italian herbs Toast #2 - avocado + cherry tomatoes, sunflower seeds & black sesame seeds 〰️ Happy Sunday everyone ☀️💕

Todays weather has got me like... 😿🌧 First of all... isn’t it meant to be spring?!!! But secondly I guess the perks are letting those winter brekky’s last a little longer, like this fineeee looking porridge!! 🤤🤤🤤 I rarely eat oats, but when my body asks for it - I listen to my intuition! And here’s what I’ve noticed.... When I CRAVE oats (I eat “GF” oats that I buy from @nakedfoods) I eat them and feel no pain, no discomfort and no bloating. But a few weeks back I made brekky for both Dave and I and I wasn’t particularly feeling oats, but I had some of them anyway because yolo... and I bloated!! Moral of the story - LISTEN to what your body wants and is craving and then see how it makes you feel. If you feel energised and comfortable then you were listening to your intuition! If you feel lethargic, gross and uncomfortable then you were most probably thinking with your head/ego! I now know when I should and shouldn’t be eating oats because even though they are gluten free, I’ve learnt that my body can only tolerate it in small doses! I made the porridge base with gf oats, rice milk, a dash of water, cinnamon and maple syrup and topped with banana, crushed hazelnuts, sunflower seeds, desiccated coconut and honey. ✨

For those who 〰️ “don’t know how to slow down” ✨ This book completely re-educated me in understanding the value and importance of slowing down. When I was first told to slow down, and why I should slow down, the concept sounded lovely - yet I couldn’t consciously shake off the guilt that came with it. Feelings of failure, feelings of being left behind, feelings of selfishness... just to name a few. Anyone else feel me? This book is just one among few that help me remember e v e r y s i n g l e d a y why it is not only important, but necessary to STOP and slowwww the heck down! For anyone struggling with this concept, Brooke shares her story along with some tangible tools that you can do to slow down too. A great place to start for anyone also feelin’ these vibes!!! #notinmybelly #yourbodyspeaks
