The Cinderella Myth

Once upon a time there was a belief that all good things came to little girls who ate all their veggies, never talked back and listened to their parents. Of course this was before people realized some of those kids’ parents were beating them, abandoning them, emotionally abusing them and worse.  

Most of us have had hard times, felt the sting of a dysfunctional family or lost our way... The good news is we don't have to stay lost... or stay in a swirling vortex of unhealthy choices. You can change your lives ...

ONE DAY AT A TIME... ONE CHOICE AT A TIME...

ONE BITE AT A TIME

BEING RESPONSIBLE FOR OUR OWN LIFE AND CHOICES means stop making excuses and woman up. If you need to get to a different spot in your life try planning. The saying goes if you fail to plan you plan to fail….. So when you are feeling like a truck ran you over or that you look 15 years older than what you should… HELLO… PLAN… By this I mean Look at your life…where you are… where you want to go and figure out how to get there.

I work in the natural health and spiritual realm so that’s the door I am coming out of… so let’s get serious… when a person feels less than or their health is compromised they are apt to make poor choices, like being involved with a phony prince charming, moving in with a roommate from hell or not listening to your gut when it’s telling you something about a person.

When we are vulnerable we make poor choices

So start by getting healthier. This will help you make wiser choices and give you the clarity

to know if you have made a mistake so you can undue it before 20 years goes by.

Don’t just sit there and watch your life go by like a train going at full speed… Take charge…

Let me help simplify a beginning plan for you to improve your health:

1. Stay away from toxic foods like hot dogs, pork, hydrogenated oils, processed foods

2. Drink WATER… I have spoken about this many times… we all need to be hydrated…. Sometimes when you think you are hungry it’s really that you are thirsty but your body interprets it as hunger.

3. Take Quality Supplements… Including a Powerful Vitamin/Mineral Supplement…An Antioxidant and Essential Fatty Acid… TO BEGIN with… When you have specific problems there are natural medicines geared toward healing your “issues”.   Call (508-757-0453) or email me if you want to know where to begin your healing path.

4. Incorporate some raw food at meals everyday… Be creative… Raw food has enzymes and we need enzymes to live healthier

5. Pray

6. Stay connected to positive people

7. Move your body…

8. Run from Toxic Negative People!!!

I want to close with I KNOW that this is easier said than done... HOWEVER ... Changes can and do happen... With that I wish you clarity and strength to begin the walk towards where you are supposed to be.

Trouble Sleeping???

Lack of Sleep = OVER-Eating and Weight GAIN

OK, it doesn't seem fair... but to be warned is a beautiful gift and there really is a reason for this. Loss of sleep results in lower levels of Leptin, a hormone that plays a key role in controlling appetite. There was a study that showed sleep restriction increased hunger by 24%.

This is then triggered a desire for foods that were high calorie, carbohydrate rich foods. So picture this you're tired, cranky and want to eat a box of something sweet or a loaf of french bread and butter.... Then you gain 5 pounds... Is this a set up to get you to feel bad about yourself? I just want to take a moment to say that when people overeat it's usually for emotional reasons in addition to being tired.

When you find yourself reaching for carbs... it's usually because you are looking for some COMFORT and when you are reaching for sugar you're really looking for some JOY in your life. So if you need some Comfort or Joy take a moment and think of ways you can get it...

Some Suggestions:

Take a bath in your favorite Essential Oil combo with candles as the only light

Hug someone you love

Cry and release some of what you're trying to not feel

Make a Gratitude List

Make Love with your other half... not someone else's

Exercise

Get some Sun

Pray

Create Something... (jewelry, a new healthy recipe, a gift)

Do something Kind for someone else

Of course these suggestions aren't the whole answer but some of them will help you feel better

TIPS ON GETTING A GOOD NIGHT'S SLEEP:

Stop drinking caffeine by 2pm and keep your caffeine intake to 2-3 cups... NOT HUGE CUPS and 2 is better than 3… also teas, sodas and chocolate have caffeine… not to mention some sports drinks

Avoid Alcohol as it may disrupt your sleep and it can become a BAD habit

Exercise will help relax you and help you sleep but do it at least 2 hours before bed...

Make your bedroom your SACRED SPACE...keep it quiet and restful... don't watch tv, do work, balance your checkbook or fold your laundry... this is your place to be quiet, rest and heal

Use Natural Supplements for that extra help in falling asleep...

Pray

Spray or defuse relaxing essential oils…
