Carrot salad recipe& I answered that question I get asked all of the time.

 

Thursday.

I am happy to have some time to post again this week.

The work I am doing has me thinking so differently about so many things.

Last evening as I was putting the flocks to bed

 I decided to change back to an old playlist from 10 years ago.

It was a running playlist.

Funny thing, after not being able to do that cute skip I did

before I would set out on my natural rhythm , my body just

instinctively did it.

My husband watched me...giddly laughing as I continued to

run a few steps on our nighttime walk.

My mind remembered even when I had given up on it.

* I have found that there are natural blocks we stall

at after injury that keep us stuck. These blocks may have

started from injury but continue because of muscle memory

was changed or we have resistance in our heads.

Like I still go up the stairs differently since I dislocated my knees

last August. No reason, I am fully healed....

I am working on it.

I do believe our bodies are so much more capable than anyone has ever

imagined. Capable of healing it its natural state OR 

re- learning how to employ it's systems to do the same things,

just differently. 

I have always thought this.

Many natural healers already know this yet they get 

so much strife for it from those conditioned ( educated) by Rx 

companies who serve on boards that regulate policies

they just stay quiet about it.

Anyone who is energy sensitive knows it too.

The question:

Anyhow... I have been asked many times what I do

to stay as healthy as I can.

The answer:

It has been a lifelong project of trial and error,

of trying to trust the medical community I used to work in

and then getting no results.

I am in no way promoting anything but I will illustrate

what I do, my beliefs and what sustains me

on a daily basis.

Now I should have also written in : continue to learn.

That is so important. I am always looking for new information

or old information that I can test to challenge what I know.

This illustration is how I see this in my head you guys.
It is how I process what is most important ( at the top)
It is how I see it today.
Will it change? Well, yes, it should as the seasons of my life change
but the foundation should always stay the same.
This represents me today...🐦‍⬛

Now, am I perfect? No. Yesterday during online Zoom class I consumed a bag of

potato chips out of boredom and stress afraid she would call on me

and I would fail in front of so many people.

But my inner monologue is always positive .

I counter the negativity of the world with as much of that as possible.

I simplify, keeping most things simple.

I pray when I do not know what to do.

I am not one to burden others with my problems so I 

tend to only address those with people I talk to every day.

And even then I am conscious of putting my crap on others.

I am a helper. I am a helper who is all helped out from giving

for far too many years  and never allowing myself to  set

healthy boundaries.

Old helpers have given their share of time to others and

now need to spend some of what is left on their own

families and lives.

I get out in Mother Nature every day- every season.

It heals me, keeps me grounded- literally.

If any of the 3 are ill ( not healed) it weakens the rest.

This is my theory.

I hope this answers those questions I get about what I eat, how I exercise,

what do I think of conventional medicine etc....

Keep your questions coming.

It helps me grow !

Growing up I was that girl who would go off into the woods and read.

I found such peace there.

I am still that girl.

Now I unplug. I do not scroll during the day.

I read books, old books with interesting , novel ways to look at the world.

It is freeing.

I found this beautiful post online a while ago.

The thought of this brings me so much peace & comfort.

My mother would talk of my guardian angel ( and what a tough job it had lol!)

but she told me that I was blessed with someone to always look after me

even when she wasn't there.

My Gramma was a daily church goer...lighting candles and praying

for her family.

I truly believe that the soul, mind and body connection is who we are.

Without nurturing all 3 we are weaker for it.

I try and nurture them all even a tiny bit every day.

So the answer to the questions about how I manage my health is that.

It is a daily tending.

*******

Now, in my life moderation is key.

Yes, I prioritise protein for the season I am in BUT I also know

that in the growing season we are to also use what is fresh from

the earth and the sunshine.

Salads are a big part of my life.

This one especially.

Now if you are sensitive to sesame you can just omit them.

I have added raisins ( golden) and cranberries, even diced apples.

I hope that you enjoy this beautiful day.

Get your feet in the grass, consume some lovely food,

enjoy a sweet song ....

Have a wonderful day!

xoxo
