💥 Interesting facts: Interesting fact of the week: Clouds weigh more than you think!

A cloud measuring 1 km³ can weigh up to 1 million tons. That’s about the weight of 200,000 passenger cars. And yet, it floats in the sky due to its lower density than the air around it. So the next time you see a cloud, remember that it carries a huge weight on its “shoulders”!

📅 HOLIDAYS & TRADITIONS

– Easter Monday (April 21):

Easter Monday (liturgically Monday in the Octave of Easter, sometimes also Red Monday) is the day following Easter Sunday. In the Czech context, it is associated with various traditions and customs that can be classified as transitional rituals of the end of winter and the coming of spring. This non-Christian practice has been theologized and placed within a Christian framework in various cultures throughout history.

– Holy Sunday (April 27)

Whit Sunday is a Christian holiday celebrated on the Sunday after Easter. It is called white because in the past, new believers were baptized and wore white clothes. The date is calculated according to the lunar calendar and therefore varies each year.

💆‍♀️ ACTIVITIES & INSPIRATION OF THE WEEK

🕯️ Wellness tip:

Take a detox bath! Add Epsom salt to the water to help relax muscles and detoxify the body. Add a few drops of lavender oil for calming and relaxation. Enjoy a peaceful 20-minute moment of complete relaxation.

💪 Body & movement:

Try a mobility and flexibility exercise, such as yoga or Pilates. A few minutes a day can help release tension in your body and improve your posture. Start by setting aside 10-15 minutes to add to your morning or evening relaxation time.

🌿 Herb of the week: Wild garlic

At the beginning of April, carpets of fresh wild garlic leaves appear in the forests, with an unmistakable garlic scent. We only collect the leaves that we cut off above the ground. We add fresh leaves to soups, salads, on bread or in homemade pesto. Wild garlic contains vitamins C, A, B1, B2, iron, magnesium and allicin, which has antibacterial effects. It has a detoxifying effect, supports the heart and digestion and helps with bloating. The leaves can be soaked in water for several days or frozen to preserve the fresh garlic taste.

Rituals: Light a white candle for purity and peace. Meditate on harmony and balance in your life.
Self-development: Write down three things you are grateful for every day.

💬 Affirmation:

"I succeed in everything I do. I welcome miracles into my life."

MOTIVATIONAL CONCLUSION:

"There is no need to seek perfection, just take a step forward every day. Every small step forward is a victory." 🚀

I wish you a wonderful week full of positive energy and inspiration! 😊🌟
