TRAPPED in a BODY or Finding the Treasure in YOU

It astounds me (when I really give thought) that we as humans bury the  treasure that lays inside our being.

If you believe, as I do, that we are 

SPIRITUAL BEINGS.  

Designed and Made by "THEE CREATOR" of this Universe 

for a PURPOSE.....   

Jeremiah 29:11  

¹¹ For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

And if you believe, as I do, that "THEE CREATOR" proved His  Love by becoming a Human (Virgin Birth) and walked with Man (and Woman) and gave us living proof  he was a Divine Being and then   Suffering a Horrible Death on the Cross and then ascending from the Grave  into Heaven.... as a means to pay the debt for mankind's sin.....  (long sentence, I know) ......

  And if you believe, as I do, that this GOD  (named Jesus Christ who was the Son of God) then provided HIS WORD (the Bible: Human Beings Instruction Manual) to us that we TOO can have this power, VICTORY and experience His PEACE and  amazing JOY if we but TRUST in HIM and FOLLOW HIS WORD (obey his Word)......(another long sentence)

Then you too, believe as I do that 

we have everything we NEED 

to be these incredible loving powerful

SPIRITUAL BEINGS 

who live a 

PHYSICAL body.  

And one day,  we will be freed from these Physical bodies and there will be no more sorrow, suffering, disease, illness, tears!   We will TRULY BE FREE! 
                         WHOOOOEEEE  bring it on!  What a Great HOPE we HAVE in Christ.


Ok, ya get the picture that I'm getting pumped up and excited when I speak what I know and what  I believe.

                                Now, I (you too)  just have to LIVE what you and I BELIEVE.  

BALANCE our life, moment by moment!  

When I face a challenge , heartache, disappointment... illness


I need to pull myself up - Use good posture - chin up and SHOUT OUT 


                                       I AM A CHILD of a LIVING GOD!!!

So, Stop your whining and complaining and really, seriously .....
                                         

LIVE LIKE A SPIRITUAL BEING

          

The difference between 

a "believer" and a "non believer"

 is how we re-act and then act when 

we face A N Y T H I N G that comes our way.  

True?

Ciao and Salute! To Your Health and Wellness


PS :   we  really never die (we just get a new body) 
Are you really planning for your future?

If it's to be it's up to me

There can be valid reasons why you lack motivation.

One to consider is being unbalanced physically.

Vitamin and mineral deficiency is real.

This is why I continually speak out in my blogs " balance" your life.


If you are deficient in a vitamin or mineral it can produce symptoms that rob you of your health and wellbeing

You'll can feel:

Down, depressed, tired, cranky.... " I dont care" attitude

"Ah, Fuhgeddaboutit" attitude"

First choice is for you to get proper vitamins and minerals from life giving foods!!!
(natural, organic... Grown and harvested)
then you should supplement with man made vitamins and minerals

Did you know????
vitamin D is a hormone. Yes, it's been re-classified as a hormone. http://www.sciencealert.com.au/news/20092404-19052-2.htm

Vit D today is the Vit C of yesterday (Linus Pauling)
www.vitamincfoundation.org/

Tip (prescription) : GET outside in the sunshine!

TAKE A VACATION FROM YOUR PROBLEMS!!
It will feed your body vitamin D
It will feed your mind through the sunshine that floods your eyes
It will feed your spirit as you are enveloped in His creation
Dance sing skip play

If it's to be it's up to..... YOU!

Ciao

.... to thine own self be true - or THE SCALE DON'T LIE

ahhhh, to look in the rear view mirror!   

looking at ME and my previous blog 

..... one year ago today..... (made a few changes/revisions)

It's oh so healthy to keep a journal or blog.... Did I say that it's healthy.... I think I did!
*******************************

To thine own self be true

Oh, come on now...... I always say       "oh, I don't eat that much!"

But, yikes! I added up the few measly things I ate today and a whopping 1900 calories.

Ridiculous!  Have you ever REALLY REALLY ever taken the time to see how many Calories and Carbs are in something you have had for a snack, lunch or for "mindless eating"

It's amazing that as smart as humans are.... it's the SAME freakin story that I hear  from my patients ....(and I too have said, quit honestly)

           "I know I'm over weight, but I've tried to lose weight and just can't!"

Then my reply is:           "what did you eat yesterday?"  

                                                             and 

                       "what did you do to use up those calories that you consumed?"   

ahhhhhh,  

the guilty light pops on and then the "excuses" begin!

"This above all: to thine own self be true" Shakespeare

You can try to fool other's 

and 

you can try to fool yourself... 

BUT YA CAN'T FOOL the SCALE!

NUMBERS don't LIE!

Ya shouldn't lie to yourself

                                               

Tomorrow will be a day of more thoughtful choices. 

I will keep in mind that food is a "fuel" for my bodies health.

My well being is my spiritual walk! 

Only HE can truly satisfy! 

*******************************

ok, that was a year ago that I said the same stuff I say today


only thing that has changed is the date  - truth doesn't change

Stop looking to food to "satisfy" your emptiness or frustrations,  (yes, you know I'm saying the truth... we find it soothing and satisfying to FEED OUR FACE)
When you're seeking FOOD it's a symptom of a deficit in your mind or spirit... maybe just maybe it's a nutritional deficiency... but that's rare.


Get smart and keep a record for one solid week of EVERYTHING you eat and drink... You'll be SHOCKED!

Don't be discouraged!   If it were so simple and easy to lose weight... we'd all be "twiggy"


Trust me when I say - YOU CAN DO IT


Just Start the Journey today of "Balancing" your life  

I've been blogging about this very thing this past year.  I've been there and done that too!  

When I recognized that "I'm was at war within myself" about food and exercise  I began this journey. 

It WORKS... It's not a pill or a funky new diet

It's about BALANCE!  

By a  self discovery of the Physical, Mental and Spiritual components of YOU 

It's a Journey.... Get on board!  It's been a fabulous RIDE SO FAR! 

Salute!

 

Get Ready for Summer Diet

It only takes ONE match stick to burn down a building that took a 100 men to build

All the efforts and gains you make towards change 

can be dashed into a pile of dust 

with ONE wrong decision.  

RIGHT?

Don't you know it may take you  7 DAYS to lose  5 pounds but ONE "stupid" DAY of gluttony and not "caring" to put on 5 pounds!  (was the Easter candy really worth it?)


So why?  
      WHY ...  W H Y...  oh....   W H Y  
                   do we do that to ourselves? (pig out)
                                (see answer below... hint:  it has to do with balance)

That, my friend is my Journey and my Quest.... for "self discovery" of why and how I can throw "common sense" to the wind!

Here's a story...

As I passed by a co-worker the other day, I asked "oh, you look tired".  The flood gates opened and she poured out for the next minute (seemed like several minutes)  ....the excuses "I'm not sleeping.... It's this cold gloomy weather... I have no energy.... my body is achy...  I think I'm getting sick" ........etc

                            I then said  
              "so, what really happening in your life ?"

ahh,   she then looked me in the eye's and  softly spoke
     "I went to my 26 year old Nephew's funeral 2 weeks ago, and
        last night I found out my Aunt has stage 4 Cancer"



People, People People..... I have said it and will continue to preach it

BALANCE!!!!


it's all about balance

When you feel a physical aliment... S T O P   and take a deep breath and ask your self this question:

What is happening around me that is affecting me:  

PHYSICALLY, MENTALLY and SPIRITUALLY?

YOU "WEAR" YOUR STRESS IN YOUR BODY 

if you don't properly take the stress your  facing and constructively deal with it 

using  your MIND, your BODY and your SPIRIT 

you'll be  a walking mess

ALL THREE need to be engaged when faced with STRESS- LIFE

                                                      Hey Did you hear me say balance?

1. PHYSICAL:   EXERCISE  and GOOD NUTRITION

2. SPIRITUAL:  PRAYER  (talking and listening to your Creator) and
                         READING your INSTRUCTION MANUAL (Bible)


3. MIND:          Stopping Negative WORDS (can't, never, always) and THOUGHTS
                         SPEAKING words of encouragement - POSITIVE thinking


So, you want to get ready for the summer!   Be in shape to wear a bathing suit and Swim  and Ride a Bike, Play a game of Bocce ball?

It only takes ONE moment to make a Decision to CHANGE your  Lifestyle (life)


YET....


It takes BALANCING your Moments to make your CHANGE into Healthy Habits

Ciao and Salute!


To your Health and Wellness 


ps

I  think that Big meant "mature"  not Fat

Start making mature choices

Happy EASTER

3 years ago I wrote my very first Blog.  

 I'm blessed  for having the privilege of experiencing the  life transforming POWER  of a  Relationship with Christ.   

This 3 year journey  of seeking Health and Wellness through my blogging  had sprung forth a new excitement and a new approach to life.  I'm am so grateful!  (and 20 pounds lighter!)

My First Post on this site 4/2009

I was hoping for a safe place where at any time I can Speak and be heard.... Listen and Learn.... receive and yet give all at the same time.

I was hoping to join with other women and pray for needs.

......"For such a time as this" when Esther was in the perfect place and perfect time to help save her people.

I want to pray with others for Our Nation -as the scripture says "...if my people will Humble themselves and Pray" we need a Revival!

Do you remember the 70's when the youth was looking for "Truth". The Jesus Movement....

I was hoping for a place where ... as we did in Church.... we held up our hand and during prayer time and when asked what our prayer request was we just said..... "unspoken request".

We all knew that The Lord knows the "request", we just need to PRAY. Perfect... I was hoping that could be done here.

"Come to the Well"... because as the "song" states .... "The Woman at the Well was thirsting for THINGS that could not satisfy"... I want to remember that ONLY CHRIST can satisfy my soul. He can give me Peace that flows through me and around me, in the mist of confusion.

*****************

PS   Here is a health "tip for today"  

        When you stand and walk today  have "good posture" :  

Chin up, shoulders back, unclench your hands!

and  then feel  like you have a string on the top of your head 

that is pulling you up towards the sky, 

(which will extend your spine and free up your digestive system)

  AND 

then   smack a big fat  smile on your face  (show those teeth)

and say to your self 

 "I AM a child of a LIVING GOD, 

and 

NOTHING is impossible when I put my TRUST IN HIM"

Then....YOUR BODY WILL SEND A MESSAGE to your BRAIN  "HEY, I'm feeling confident and happy".  Then your mind will have to think "Wow,  I better release some happy  chemicals to match what the body is doing" 

 This is healthy and wiser than mopping around feeling stressed out and sorry for  any circumstances  that you maybe facing.  It will reduce headaches, backaches and fatigue
Your Body will thank you
And those around you that have to interact with you will thank you


Ciao!
