Revelations

I've had an interesting revelation throughout the last few days (granted, I've been sick and had a lot of time to think), but I digress. My body, when well nourished, does not crave crap. When it is optimally nourished, fed appropriately, loved and given attention, does not crave the taste of foods that are less than ideal for it's performance. For example: I made a pizza and chocolate chip cookies for my family yesterday (because they like it as an occasional treat, and why not?). Not only did I not eat any of any of it, I literally sat there thinking "It does not even sound good, and even if it did, is it worth going through the detox phase of this journey?" What an amazing thing to realize and be living!

My body continues to reward me for me being kind to it. What do I mean by that? I am putting whole, awesome, nutrient rich food into it. I am helping to to be alkaline, and I'm losing pounds and inches and all the while feeling amazing. Even being sick at the current moment (children are germ factories, after all), I still feel more energetic and more nourished than ever before. I am not depriving myself, I am literally nourishing my body with what it needs. And it's balanced and thriving.

It's a counterintuitive mindset in our culture to love yourself. The health industry typically thrives on self-loathing. It benefits from you disliking how you look/feel etc. The health industry I back buys into being whole, kind and nourishing yourself through healthy food, healthy mind and healthy activity levels.

I took a step today to be a member of the amazing health system Yoli, and that means I get to share my story with others and hopefully inspire them to live the best, most balanced and healthy versions of themselves that they can be. I am so very excited to begin this journey, as I have quite the story and am passionate about helping others.

Here's to a happy, healthy Monday.

Love,

Kara
