And I didn't get this from Tony Robbins

I can't believe it...




I know it's true.... so why am I so surprised.  
                      I know the truth, but it seems to get lost in the noise of my life.




I'm working on a project that has given me a shot in the arm of excitement and energy!


This is why I need to blog this fact.,,,

When you find a passion for something... 

you'll find a renewed sense of being

Ya know I talk about balance in our lives brings Health and Wellness

This morning, it dawned on me that our creator placed this need for "passion" in our lives.


We live a slow boring fatiguing existence when we deny our self the experience of being passionate about something or maybe" someone" or maybe a dream, vision or desire.

     Passion  is what motivates us, 

inspires us, feeds our very being.

I believe that it was and is God's desire that we (humans) are passionate about a relationship  with HIM.  Yet, in our carnal nature, we seek out "things" that really never fully satisfy this longing for "passion" in our life.  Oh, we may find it temporarily ....  

but really finding ourselves happens   when 

we find  our passion is a

relationship with our creator  

Then we have a passion for loving ourselves as our creator loves us

We will then start to respect 

our self by taking care of our self  

I know that my passion for loving and nurturing my family motivate me...   
It's also True, that when I've been on a project like decorating a home, or planning an event/dinner... I feel the passion and excitement that motivates and inspires me to feel fulfilled in my accomplishments. 


Well,   I have come to recognize  that finding "passion"  to take care of and nurture me has been transforming.   

It came from acknowledging and acting like  I'm created for a purpose.  

BUT, Until I balance my  whole being (body, mind and spirit)  finding "passion" is nearly impossible. 


You know I like parables, so here is one:


 Picture yourself as a car ....
a car that is deeply in need of being repaired.  Your seats torn, soiled... the interior smelly from left over fast food left on the floor.  You use cheap gas and the exterior is needing cleaning and detailing.  


WHO in the world would want to ride in this car!   
                 How can you take care of transporting others ?  
                                         How reliable are you to get to your destination? 

I'm relating this car to ... someone who may just sit's around!  No direction -  
NO planned destination!


I'm relating  that this car ... has the smell of unforgiveness, resentments and  is harboring anger, like old left over fast food trash.


 I'm relating that the repairs  needed  would  be like...you needing to exercise to detox your body of the pollutants you're exposed to in the  food you eat and in the air you breath. Exercise to redefine and strengthen those muscles.... to bring oxygen to every cell in your body (including your brain that needs some oxygen! LOL) 

I'm relating that the soil and dirt are like the thoughts we take in and store in our mind.. 

The  "NEGATIVES.... the " I can not do it", " it never works", 

 "*@O(#&%*#  always happens to me",.... 

the statements of defeat ..... 

an acceptance reinforced by the self  proclaimed prophetic words  of   

"I AM.... sick,  I AM... getting sick"  

        

The self flagellation's that we do to our self that defeats our spirit. 

The car in this parable is your Body...  The Temple that your spirit lives in.

IT's NEAR IMPOSSIBLE TO GET ANYWHERE IN LIFE 

UNTIL YOU 

GET YOURSELF IN SHAPE!  

(physically, mentally, and spiritually)

                              BALANCE YOUR LIFE!!!!!!!!!

The passion to feed and nurture  and cleanse  our  
MIND, BODY and SPIRIT 
each moment of the day 
happens when we recognize that 
our body is the TEMPLE that is the home for our eternal Spirit.  

It's a temple (our body) that has invited 
a living GOD to living in! (?)

                 

 RESPECT IT!  Catch the passion to repair, clean, re-decorate the temple!  

Matthew 9:16  

 ¹⁶ “Besides, who would patch old clothing with new cloth? 

For the new patch would shrink and rip away from the old cloth, 

leaving an even bigger tear than before.

Let God's word RENEW you

Physically, Mentally and Spiritually

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

When I bring balance to my world 

I then become available 

to be "passionate" 

about following 

my dreams, hopes and desires
 I then will  have the courage to reach higher

Catch the Passion!


Ciao

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!

.... 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!
*******************************                                    

MONDAY, APRIL 26, 2010

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!
