Do You Want to Know the Truth About Your Food?

A dear friend of mine, Althea, gave me this list of “Raw Food Health Documentaries” and then she added in a few more that she found online.  At the time, another mutual friend of ours was struggling to end her soda pop addiction.  Althea and I were finding articles that informed us of the shocking and deadly diseases that occur from drinking too much soda.

This list of 20 documentary films exposes truths that the food industry doesn’t want us to know about.  These films will get you to think twice about what you eat and where your food is coming from.  If you eat meat, they might get you to care more about how animals are treated on their way to your table.

Age doesn’t matter.  Good food can heal and revitalize you.  Armed with the knowledge that you gain form these films, you can become a guide to friends and family. And if you’re inspired to support causes for the health our society and the humane treatment of animals, activism is another factor that contributes to vitality.

So watch out!  I think these films are going to end up changing my diet and the way I think about food!  :0

How Your Friends Make It Easy to be Healthy: Cheat Days

journal-1414116_1920

This is a diary of the healthy lifestyle goals that my son, Chris, and I are making together each month.  Since it takes 21-30 days to develop a new habit, making a goal for the month ahead is an effective strategy.

The buddy system is one of the main ways to get motivated. I’ve always found that if I say out loud to someone what I plan on doing, I’m more likely to do it.  Because if I say I will, I feel responsible to follow through.  

Age doesn’t matter.  It’s never too late.  You can always make progress and actually reverse the signs of aging!

Chakra minerals and crystals healing set

My birthday gift from my son this year was a chakra mineral starter set of healing crystals, with a velvet pouch containing the chakra healing stones.  The gift card said, “Hi, Mom! May they bring you abundance and comfort!  From Your Son.”

I was surprised to get this chakra healing set of crystals when I had just posted an article on “How to Use the Amazing Powers of Color.”  This was synchronicity at its best!  In my color post, I included a list of how to heal and correct the chakras by their corresponding colors.

I decided to share my gift with you.  I had already intended to write about crystals, and I will explore the topic more in the future if you like.  I hope that the basic information I am sharing with you here is helpful!

When we “cleanse” our chakras with crystals, we dispel negative energy that is building up inside of us and disturbing our delicate energy balance.  This promotes both emotional and physical self-healing.

Age doesn’t matter.  Throughout history, the wisest healers were those of a venerable age.

Sometimes when we’re sad or it’s a rainy drab day devoid of color, we dress in bright colors to cheer ourselves up.  We might paint our bedroom blue because it is a calming color that makes it easy to relax.  It’s obvious that colors around us affect how we feel and how we operate.  All through our lives, we can use color to improve how we feel in so many ways.  Age doesn’t matter.  In fact, the more experience we have the more adept we become at using certain colors to our advantage.

This is a diary of the healthy lifestyle goals that my son, Chris, and I are making together each month.  Since it takes 21-30 days to develop a new habit, making a goal for the month ahead is an effective strategy.

He and I agree that making these monthly goals together and posting our results here for you to see helps us to improve our health.  I’ve always found that if I say out loud to someone what I plan on doing, I’m more likely to do it.  Because if I say I will, I feel responsible to follow through.

Chris’s goal last month was to get back to the healthy eating patterns that have become his normal diet since working on these goals for the last couple of years. That means less carbs, fried and greasy foods and maybe a little less sugar.

For my part, I agreed to go to the gym twice a week since my seasonal exercises were out-of-season.  Chris wanted to talk me into more, but I’m going to agree to more for next month’s goal.  Lol!
