A great example of opening your mind is considering the idea that nature gives us what we need to be healthy–that the answers to our questions are pretty much right in front of us. All around us. If we weren’t supposed to eat a bunch of green, why would our planet be covered in it?
Think about it, when you are eating processed/refined foods, you sleep poorly, you are fatigued. Your skin reacts by trying to expel toxins through it–manifesting as wrinkles, breakouts, rashes. Nutritionally-void foods make you moody and depressed. Quick to anger. Sick.
It’s time to wake up. Your body is trying to tell you “hey, I’m not happy here.”
When you eat natural, whole foods that your body wants/needs, it will reward you with strength, vitality, happiness, even a healthy glow. You will need less sleep, your body shape will change. Fat (i.e. toxins) will melt off. You will find yourself feeling more creative. Less tolerant of negativity.
Think about this: When you have a headache or symptoms of a disease, most people tend to take synthetic medications to mask the symptom without even thinking about the cause. That is a perfect example of the disconnection that I reference in Tip #2. Symptoms are your body waving the white flag. It’s trying to tell you that something is not working. Most of us just don’t know how to listen to our bodies.
If your car brake warning light comes on in your dash, you don’t tape over it and keep driving, do you? I would guess that you take that baby to the shop to fix what is broken. Consider this next time you pop a pill for a headache, digestion issues or worse. (tjc.org) The human body is a strong, resilient machine. Give it the credit that it deserves and the foods that heal and strengthen, naturally.
As you research this new way of eating you will come across many ideas that are not a part of the mainstream mentality. Keep an open mind. It will lead you to great things.
You can do this!
