Have You Fed Yourself Lately?

I bet your initial response to that question is, “Are you kidding?  I feed myself too much!”  That may be, but what I am after here is, are you actually providing your body with nutrition?  Whole, real, live food?

That whole “you are what you eat” adage is absolute – your body can only create new cells, heal broken ones, fight off infection, etc., with what you give it.  If the body is provided with wimpy ammunition, it can only do a wimpy job.

You get it that being around positive people, having a positive attitude, SMILING, etc. is good for you, so doesn’t it make sense that positive food is, too?  If you feel you are not at your optimum, add some live food to your diet.  Notice what I am not saying:  give up your current diet.  While that may be an absolute mess, today’s tip is simply to add one positive thing, not take anything away.

So, what to add?  Here’s a starter list, just pick one for now.  Be sure you have it on a DAILY basis.

  • fresh salad
  • wheatgrass or greens powder – I have RBC Life’s spirulina powder every day; if I miss, I feel exhausted by mid-afternoon – http://bit.ly/1h23aIZ – if you are so inclined, consider using our wonderful friends Pamm & Paul distributor #12255
  • Chocolate Bliss superfood – this is the good stuff, wish I were a distributor, ’cause you’re gonna love it – http://bit.ly/1euAQBP
  • juice (as in fresh fruit & veggies put thru a juicer)
  • maca, yes, maca – very high in all the goodies a body needs
  • handful of raw almonds (preferably soaked 24 hours, rinsed, and drained)

Except where noted, all of these items are available at a health food store.  If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me.

Just add one item, stick to it, and see what happens.  Your body will thank you.

Catch Yourself Smiling

Finding Joy in the Mundane

Do something for me, right now, if you don’t mind.  Smile.  Just do whatever you’re doing, see wherever you’re looking, and smile.  Notice the immediate shift in your energy?  A critical component to vibrant health is a positive attitude and emotional wellness.  For this week, I’d like you to experiment with taking on a positive attitude, adding smiles to your life as often as possible.joy

  • Long line at the check-out?  Smile.
  • Toast burnt?  Smile.
  • Someone walks in?  Smile.
  • Driving?  Smile.
  • Showering? Smile.

You get the picture…

If you want to take it a step further, in addition to making the conscious effort to “manually” putting a smile on your face, count how many times you catch yourself smiling and then challenge yourself to increase that number the next day, and the day after that, and so on.

Let me know how you do!
