Fake it til you Make it!

I had a conference call last night with my Shaklee Sponser and she gave me some good advice for my doldrums. "Fake it til you make it!" Hmmmmmm. Fake it........til you make it. So, I do not have to match my outside to my inside. I do not have wallow in my negative thoughts. If I project a positive image and mindset, the negative will leave and be replaced with peace, love and beauty, inside and out.

So, this morning I was dressed and groomed before my husband woke up to go to work. I feel better already. Let's see if I can make it all day without allowing negative thoughts into my brain. I will keep you posted.

Vitamins

I have been taking Shaklee's Vitalizer with Iron for almost 2 months. It is a vitastrip that has vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, anti-aging phytonutrients, omega-3 fatty acids and probiotics. I still do not have enough energy! But my skin and hair look better, my digestion is regular, and my menstrual cramps this month were virtually non-existent. I know that I need to change my eating habits. Maybe then will I have the energy I need.

To eat meat, to not eat meat Part 2

Continue from yesterday..........I have the answer! I am reading Andrew Weil's Eating Well for Optimum Health, when I read a paragraph that gives me the answer to yesterday's question. Why do I not have the discipline that I had 2 years ago with regard to healthy eating? He says that in certain times of his life, he has periods of metabolic shifts where he feels energized, creative, and quite happy with, and accepting, of his body. Ultimately, if you can identify a particular mental/emotional state with enhanced metabolism, you can practice staying in that state more of the time. Okay. What was my state of mind 2 years ago? I was incredibly happy, my husband and I were trying to have our 3rd child, I was involved with the local mosque, I had just come back from a summer in Jordan......Today, I am tired all the time, all I can think about is getting a break from the kids! I feel overworked and underpaid. Now, reading back what I just wrote, I realize that I need rejuvination. What should I do?

To eat meat or not eat meat.....

Before I became pregnant with my daughter, I was a "good" vegetarian. I felt vibrant everyday! I was happy, and I was full of energy. When I became pregnant, my husband asked me to eat meat because he was concerned about adequate nutrition for the baby. I agreeded. Now, fast forward. My daughter is 18 months old, and I cannot seem to get back my discipline. I cannot seem to stop eating meat! I feel sluggish and tired everyday. Someone, please hit me with a celery stick!!!
