Servings: 3

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Cook Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients:

Pork:

• 12 oz. Pork Tenderloin
• 6 Tbsp. Primal Kitchen® Honey Mustard Marinade
• 3 cloves Garlic, grated
• 1/2 Tbsp. Chopped Rosemary
• 1 tsp. Thyme
• Pinch of Salt and Pepper

Broccoli Salad:

• 4 slices Bacon
• 3 cups chopped Broccoli Florets
• 2.5 Tbsp. Primal Kitchen Garlic Aioli Mayo
• 1 Tbsp. Bacon Fat
• 1/2 Tbsp. Lemon Juice
• 3 Tbsp. Macadamia Nuts
• 2 Tbsp. diced Red Onion
• 1/2 cup Radishes, cut into matchsticks
• 1/4 cup diced Celery

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Once hot, place a seasoned and lightly oiled cast iron pan in the oven for 15-20 minutes until it is hot.

In a bowl, combine the Primal Kitchen Honey Mustard Dressing and Marinade, garlic, rosemary, and thyme. Taste the mixture and season accordingly with salt and pepper. Add the pork tenderloin and rub the marinade all over it. Allow the pork to marinate in the fridge for 15-30 minutes.

Once the pan is hot, set it over your stove top burner over medium-high heat. Lightly pat the pork dry with a paper towel and place the pork in the pan, making sure to slightly tuck the tail of the tenderloin under itself. Sear the pork for 2-3 minutes on each side, then place the pan into the oven. Remove the pork when it reaches your desired internal temperature, between 145-160 degrees. Spoon any extra juices from the pan over the pork and allow it to rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing.

(If you are preparing it on a grill, preheat one side of the grill over medium-high heat, and the other over low heat. Lightly oil the grill grate and pat the pork to remove any residual liquid. Place the pork on the side that’s set to medium-high heat and grill for 2-3 minutes on one side, then flip it over for an additional 2-3 minutes. Repeat this again and grill for an additional 1-3 minutes on each side, then transfer the pork to the side with the lower heat. Cover the grill and grill under the internal temperature reaches between 145-155 degrees. Since the tail is so much thinner than the rest of the tenderloin, slightly tuck the tail of the tenderloin under the rest of the pork when cooking to prevent the thinner end from overcooking and drying out.)

To make the broccoli salad, roast the bacon on a sheet pan at 375 degrees for about 20 minutes, or until it reaches the doneness of your liking. Roughly chop the bacon and set it aside. Reserve a tablespoon of the bacon fat for the next step.

Combine the Primal Kitchen Garlic Aioli Mayo with a tablespoon of bacon fat and the lemon juice. Toss the chopped broccoli with the mayo mixture and fold in the bacon, macadamia nuts, onions, radishes and celery. Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve with the pork tenderloin. Enjoy!

Practicing Self-Care: What Are Your D-Needs and B-Needs?

If someone lacks food and water, we know the body will suffer. But what about when they lack a sense of belonging and connectedness? Or maybe they have a strong support network, but they lack a sense of self-esteem? It is common to consider these types of needs to be inconsequential, either out of our control or not deserving of our attention. After all, we can keep moving through our day to day responsibilities even without connectedness or self-respect, right?

Not really. We know now that lacking in these areas creates real deficiencies in our overall wellness and that our quality of life is just as important to our health as diet and exercise.

Self-care has become a popular topic and rightly so, as we begin to understand more about the longevity of our bodies and minds as it directly correlates to our intentional choices for health and wellness. But this concept is not new. American Psychologist Abraham Maslow was considered a pioneer in the 1950s for understanding that the needs of people went beyond basic physiology, though he pointed out these fundamental pieces were the foundation for achieving any other level of being beyond mere survival. 

Most people are familiar with Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, which outlines the building blocks for achieving Self-Actualization, or “full humanness” as Maslow referred to it. It makes sense that before anyone can truly feel a high level of self-esteem, they must first feel a sense of love and belonging with others, but to feel love and belonging, they must experience safety, and before that, they must not be starving or physically malnourished. And our movement through this progression of satisfying our needs is not concrete. It is fluid as circumstances in our lives ebb and flow and we must move up and down the ladder toward self-actualization. 

This can sometimes be an uncomfortable way to think of our journey through life. Once we work through something, we like to leave it behind. Once we attain a goal, we like to keep the accomplishment. But circumstances in life are not guaranteed and there are many things out of our control. It is helpful to maintain flexibility with respect to our growth and give ourselves space to go backward, and forward, as needed. Going backward does not necessarily mean progress is lost, only that there is something we must go back for, to address, to satisfy, and then we can move forward again. 

Maslow broke down our types of needs into two categories:

D-Needs (D for Deficit) are needs we are motivated to fulfill because without them, we feel some sort of longing. Any need below self-actualization on the hierarchy is considered a D-Need. Without food we are hungry, without shelter we feel unsafe, without love and belonging, we lack intimacy and friendship, without autonomy we lack self-confidence. Our need for safety, love and belonging, and self-esteem, affects us in the same way as the need for physical sustenance like food, water, and sleep.

B-Needs (B for Being) are the high-level needs that we are motivated to fulfill once all of our basic needs are met. They are the peak experiences that give us meaning and purpose. It is what we are able to do with our strengths, how we are able to contribute to others, once our needs have been sufficiently met and we feel more “whole.”

Being able to differentiate our lives between simply “surviving” and “thriving” is what enables us to pursue meaningful moments like leadership in a career, profound interpersonal relationships, or making a helpful impact within our community. It’s difficult to do those things if your basic needs are not met first. But once you are able to glimpse what this type of growth feels like, you become more inclined to organize your life around achieving more of these experiences. 

But it isn’t something that just happens. We must first identify what needs must be satisfied before we can experience this type of affirming growth. What areas are we lacking nutrition for the mind or the soul, in addition to the body? 

Self-care, then, is more than just being kind to yourself. It is more than a spa day or a down day from work. It is an ongoing process of identifying what our needs are, recognizing those needs as credible areas that deserve our attention, and working to fulfill them so that we may experience true fullness in our lives.  

Psychology Around the Net: July 27, 2019

This week’s Psychology Around the Net brings you a new breakthrough on music therapy, Oregon’s new law surrounding students and mental health days, the psychological effects of watching television, and more!

Brains Work in Sync During Music Therapy: New research out of Anglia Ruskin University (ARU) demonstrates that, during a music therapy session, the brains of the patient and the therapist become synchronised (say what?!). The study used a procedure called “hyperscanning,” which records the activity of two brains (at the same time). This is the first time researchers have been able to demonstrate this, and the breakthrough could improve future patient and therapist interactions.

Students Can Now Take ‘Mental Health Days’ Off from School in Oregon–Here’s Why: Oregon students are allowed up to five excused absences in a three-month period, and now those days can be either sick days or mental health days. Governor Kate Brown has signed a bill into law allowing students to take “mental health days” off from school just as they would sick days. Inspired by the national youth-led movement on gun violence after the deadly school shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida in 2018, a group of high school students introduced the bill back in February. Go youths! Utah is one of the first states to get the ball rolling on treating physical health and mental health equally, with Utah being the first to pass a similar law last year.

Do You Need an Adult Time Out? When we were kids, it was normal to have to finish our homework before we could go outside and play. However, as adults, our homework isn’t really ever finished. We will always need to take care of our families, homes, vehicles, jobs, lawns, groceries, bills — the list goes on and on. Given how much we always have to do, we usually end up wasting any free time we do get on naps or feeling guilty. That’s where an adult time out comes steps in.

Want Better Mental Health and Success at Work? Get a Goal: A recent study shows people who are optimistic and persistent in pursuing goals tend to suffer less anxiety and depression. Another one tells us people are more likely to accept and adopt healthy behaviors when they (the people) also have a greater sense of life purpose. All this research gives us some new ways to think about how we can use purpose and goals to become more effective — and more satisfied, I’m guessing — at work.

What Are the Psychological Effects of Watching TV? 7 Subtle Signs It’s Impacting Your Mental Health: Does the show trigger you, or make you feel bad about yourself? Does it distract you from your self-care routine or isolate your partner? While they admit some television is good for our mental health (for example, those that have calming, inspirational, or humorous themes, or older shows that remind us of happy or simpler times in our lives), experts are saying there are multiple physical and mental warning signs that it’s time to take a break from a specific television show.
