5 habits of Authentic People

Hey everyone! I came across this awesome guy's channel on youtube and felt INSTANTLY inspired! He's like a Life Guru!! I've learned sooo much from his videos and had many "ah-ha" moments. 

The video you see above I felt would be perfect to share because I feel that ALL OF YOU can relate to this. Nowadays there's so many social media sites where people feel the need to keep posting about their lives and some people even FAKING their "awesome" lifestyles online just to show off to others in order to make themselves feel better...aka INSECURITY. I'm pretty sure you all know at least one person on facebook who keeps showing off their exaggerated lifestyles and solo pictures, better yet, their selfies just to get a whole bunch of likes and attention of course.

There's also pressure from society to look a certain way and act a certain way. I mean of course you have to follow the laws of society but you don't have to follow every trend that's out there! BE YOURSELF!!! You are BeYOUtiful (beautiful)!!! And there is MORE TO LIFE than just going to school and getting a degree. I'm not saying for you to NOT go to school and get a degree but you can do that PLUS more! Like have a business or businesses on the side...master at least 8 streams of income even while you have the College Degree! There are many who have gotten their degree and are STRUGGLING to pay the bills! I know a single mom who's a Registered Nurse making good money, yes, but she's got the mortgage to pay, water, heat, electricity, cable, groceries...you get my drift. She's so bombarded with bills to pay that she can't even go shopping for herself nor take a nice vacation! Pathetic lifestyle if you ask me. 

So what I'm saying here overall is that we need to be courageous enough to BE OURSELVES and stop trying to constantly "fit in" the crowd. I learned that when you feel as though you don't fit in, that's cuz you are OUTSTANDING!!! I mean how awesome is that?! I've learned to embrace feeling and being different from the rest. I know that I was created for a reason and to be outstanding and I am very PROUD of that (I have a Leo Rising btw)!!!

We must also learn to love ourselves! Stop relying on a man or woman to make you happy or feel "complete". Happiness is a choice and it only comes from WITHIN! I was watching Dr. Oz earlier today and Jennifer Lopez, better known as JLo, was a guest on his show and she was authentic as can be. Even before she said this I already knew it all along after hearing millions of stories of her several boyfriends over the years. She said that she learned this the hard way but she learned that she had to love herself. Hopping from one man to another trying to fill in voids was NOT the solution. As a result she kept choosing all the wrong men out there and as many of you have seen, none of those relationships lasted. Her wedding day with Ben Affleck was canceled, her marriage with Marc Anthony was toast and so forth. You have to love yourself FIRST and choose to be happy NOW. Like attracts like thus you will attract a man or woman who is already happy and loves themselves IF, only IF you are the same already. And don't RUSH into a relationship with them, take your time and GET TO KNOW them first!

I hope my words and this video got through to you. This is valuable advice that I was given over the years and it has prevented me from getting into any emotional turmoil. Boy am I super grateful for this! So LOVE YOURSELF, choose to be happy NOW and BE YOURSELF!!!

Nutrition: Improve Your Diet

 

 

 

Eating healthy is very crucial for our well-being as you already know. Your diet does not have to be super strict nor super perfect. The most important thing is that you are aware of what you should eat more of and what you should eat less of. I will give you a few pointers of how I manage my everyday diet which has helped me immensely. Hopefully this will influence you in a positive way!

First and foremost make sure you eat 3 meals a day! We all have busy lives and tend to skip meals and eat a bag of greasy chips or a super-sized muffin just to get by. This is a BIG NO NO! I learned from Dr.Oz to eat like a King/Queen in the morning, eat like a Prince/Princess in the afternoon and eat like a peasant in the evening. This method works wonders! You lose weight and for those who don't need to lose weight, this method prevents weight gain. Also there are no digestive issues! Eat the most during the day when you are active because while you are in motion you are burning calories and your digestive system is the most active. Also snacking on HEALTHY snacks in between meals. It keeps your blood sugar and energy levels stable.

Some healthy snacks you can eat:

Greek Yogurt
Chicken, turkey or fish (6 oz.)
1/2 cup of brown rice
Organic Green Tea
Olive oil and avocado
Nuts, humus, pickles

Another method to incorporate is to eat healthy foods 6 days a week and have one cheat day where you eat the not so healthy foods. This method teaches you discipline and doesn't restrict you from eating anything you like. How bout that, right?

Now in terms of the food I eat and drinks I drink, I created 2 groups. Of course healthy and not so healthy:

I usually eat organic foods such as green plantains, potatoes, chicken breast, veggies, fish etc. And for drinks I mostly drink water then there's organic milk, almond milk, soy milk, orange juice, homemade green tea juice, cinnamon tea, green tea, rosemary tea and peppermint tea. I don't drink tea every single day because I don't like to overdo anything. ***Moderation is Key***

In the not so healthy category which I like to call all the "On Occasion Food & Drink Category", I eat cookies, cake, ice cream, crackers, chips, cupcakes, chocolate. And for drinks: light alcohol such as Moscato, soda and other juices with all that artificialness in it lol.

These 2 categories demonstrate that I am aware of what foods to consume more of and what foods to eat less of.

For those of you who barely drink any water, this is what I usually do to encourage myself to drink water throughout the day. I take a bottle of water and carry it with me everywhere I go. According to psychology, we are more likely to eat or drink what we see in our enviroment Remember after Thanksgiving when you had that leftover strawberry shortcake on the table? Remember seeing it all the time and snagging a piece or two on your plate until it was done? Exactly! But hey you aren't the only one who's guilty of doing this, I'm guilty too lol! But the point is, by getting into the habit of carrying a bottle of water with you everywhere you go, this alone will encourage you to drink. Sometimes you'll be drinking without even realizing so! It's a wonderful psychological glitch! And who really drinks 6-8 glasses of water EVERY SINGLE DAY? My brother says he drinks a GALLON of water per day. I think it's a bit much if you ask me. As long as you are drinking water throughout the day that's the most important thing. Don't wait until you are thirsty to drink water!

Another thing I do is incorporate Turmeric in my diet. Turmeric is a very powerful anti-inflammatory root that's well-known in Indian and China. I have 2 words for you: GOOD STUFF! It reduces inflammation anywhere in your body and prevents cancer! I speak from experience, this root is A-MA-ZING! As you can see in the pictures, you can buy the root and make your own blended food seasonings or take it in pill form. I suggest you take 2 pills a day. It is good for EVERYONE, sick or healthy. It is especially good for those who suffer from ulcerative colitis, crohn's disease, arthritis or any other IBD. If you have ulcerative colitis I suggest you make a turmeric enema: cut or grade the turmeric root, boil it, pour into enema then take in and let it sit inside you for as long as possible. You WILL see a miracle the following day!

Last but not least, juicing! I must say juicing is one of the BEST methods of ingesting healthy foods! Dr.Oz has hypnotized me to juice/make smoothies his way:

1 cup of Almond Milk
1/2 a cup of frozen berries
1/2 a banana
2 tbsp. of rice protein powder
2 tbsp. of flax seeds (preferably ground flax seeds) on top

I use this combo but in a slightly different way. I use different fruits and I add veggies since I still don't like to actually eat my veggies at my grown up age lol. By making smoothies with veggies in it I feel no more guilt because I know I "ate" my veggies another way. Hash tag Life hack lol!

Juicing is also great for those with ulcerative colitis or any other IBD. I saw a YouTube video about a lady who had crohn's pretty bad and was able to cure herself by blending her meals often on to give the digestive system a break. She also practiced ayurvedic methods to heal herself and it worked! "Let medicine be thy food" -Hippocrates (460-377 B.C.)

Beautiful Natural Nails

I haven`t put nail polish or any fake nails for over 4 months now and look how they turned out! The white of my nails are bright as ever! The same way they say to not do anything to your hair in order for its natural beauty to come out, that`s the same with your nails! Now I don`t claim to have the most beautiful, perfect nails in the world but I know natural healthiness when I see it. The nails natural shine even appears! I took this pic with my camera phone so you may not see all the details too clear but they are there.

Dr. Oz was saying how at least once a month women should leave their nails natural to give it a break and to examine them and make sure there are no weird colorings or spots on them cuz if any of these appear on your nails, its time to head to the docs to make sure you`re health is in check. Yes, the conditions of your nails are great indicators of your overall health! Word to the Wise ladies!
