Know yourself- Your food is your medicine

 


The best that you can do for yourself is withing your power. 

It is very important to know who you are.  

As I have mentioned in previous posts it is a very good thing for you to know yourself from the inside out.  Discover your talents, gifts, strengths and weaknesses.

One thing that is also important is to notice how you speak to yourself.  

NO! you are not insane! Your body speaks to you. Listen to it!  

One way that it speaks is when we get sick or feel unwell.  Our body is simply saying that something needs to be fixed.  Many times we go out looking for medicine from a doctor while the solution we seek is right at our fingertips.  

For example, my body has been out of wack for a while.  It has gotten better but off and on I still suffer from bouts of dis-ease.  More recently, I had this dry feeling in my mouth and my food tasted YAK! I forced myself to eat it because I HAD TO EAT.  But do you know I was eating the wrong food at the moment?  

I needed to correct my dry mouth feeling.  I had an imbalance in my body. How did I correct it?  I drank water mixed with salt, honey and lemon juice.  A few hours later my mouth felt better.  

INDEED OUR MEDICINE IS OUR FOOD and OUR FOOD IS OUR MEDICINE.

You would not be able to figure it out unless you take some time to observe how you feel when you eat certain foods.  

So take some time to listen to your body's responses  to food. 

Also, learn the nature of food.

Let us heal.❤

The Pencil Purpose Series

Welcome to the Pencil Purpose Series. In this post you will learn of the first step towards living a meaningful life.  Image by Monoar Rahman Rony from Pixabay.com It is not strange to assume that you have used a pencil before.  We all have.  Have you ever thought of the lifelong lessons that a pencil can teach you? First of all, the general view of a pencil is a line of carbon (graphite)  that is enclosed in a wooden body.  Some have erasers while others do not. Over the years though the outside has evolved and the body can be of plastic, or metal.  But the inside remains the same-the carbon inside which is what makes the pencil a pencil. That graphite, no matter what body it is placed in will still perform its duty of making carbon inscriptions. So for you, have you taken some time to reflect on what you are made of? An inventory of your physical and internal characteristics will be helpful. Have you looked into a mirror lately to see what you look like o...

Accepting yourself

A pencil is a pencil and will always be a pencil. In a packet or on its own. Pink, purple, yellow, green? With glitter? Eraser? No eraser? Mechanical?  Plastic? Wooden?  The pencil will always be a pencil. So to you.  You will always be you. Tall, short, slim, plump brown skinned, fair skinned, dark skinned? Kind, arrogant, talented, hard working,  Even lazy? Long hair, short hair, kinky or kurly? You! Yes you! Embrace who you are.  Inside and out. You will always be you. Taking careful inventory of you will help in knowing and pinning what makes you you. Your flaws, your strengths and weaknesses are all aspects of you.  On the path to living a meaningful life you will have to drop some things. However, you will cross that bridge when you reach it. In the meantime continue observing yourself closely and take note of your features, talents and virtues. GROW! ELEVATE!   ðŸ’ª Click for the next post in the series: Being selected

Living your purpose

Living your purpose When we try to do something and fail, it can be quite perplexing, demotivating, unpleasant, and unfulfilling. That same issue is sometimes what someone else appears to excel at—going through it like a breeze. So you question yourself, "Why am I such a failure?" Why can't I be as successful as John or Jane Doe? 1.Your purpose When you are carrying out your mission, your journey here on earth is the most meaningful. What you are meant to perform is your purpose. It is what brings you peace in your soul, no matter how difficult it may appear. It's what makes your neighbors happy. It's also what brings out the best in you by treating your neighbors as you would want to be treated. 2.You are a steward We are all guardians of the environment. A steward is someone who looks after the belongings of others. Whatever we have on this planet does not belong to us. These things must be taken care of as best we can. We don't always take good care of ours...
