Being With The SELF


Some of you may have noticed I have not been around for a while… rest assure, all is well in my world. πŸ€—πŸ™

I have just been contemplating if I am a part of the problem or the solution. πŸ€”πŸ˜‰ While my intention by posting is to provide valuable insight into self-healingπŸ’«, from my own personal experience, I wonder if supporting an app that takes soo much of our time πŸ•› and attention is actually helpful or not.😯

Today I went for a walk. I love πŸ’• long walks in solitude amongst nature πŸΏπŸŒ³!!! I can’t tell you how many people are simply just going through the motions though πŸ‘ŽπŸΎβ€¦ they are walking their dogsπŸ•, or simply walking🚢🏾or some were even riding a bike🚴, literally staring at screens! πŸ€³πŸΎπŸ€·πŸ½ I laughed a little out loud as I passed the ones walking their dogs because its funny to think about how the dog seems to be walking them! πŸ˜Ή When the dog stops, the person stops and waits while entertaining themselves with their device. When the dog walks again, they follow! Its soo ridiculous! God forbid they use this valuable time with their doggy to provide them love and attention? πŸ’•πŸ• πŸ™„ Maybe a digital detox could be exactly what you need right now! How about looking at the sky🌫, the trees🌳, the plants🌱, or listening to the sounds around you?🐀 I understand presence is difficult these days with all the distractions we as human beings have created. I give loveπŸ’• and acceptanceπŸ€— to all who currently prefer their device to nature, as I too have been there. I just feel like it’s a problem when at any given moment we are aware of what someone else across the world ate for their breakfast today but are not aware of our very own thoughts, feelings and emotions. πŸ˜―πŸ˜‰βœ¨

This past weekend I enjoyed a few days of eating. It was great!!! All 'mucusless' foods of course, like different fruitsπŸŠπŸ‘πŸŽ, roasted corn🌽, BBQ’d zucchini, bell peppers, eggplantπŸ†, okra, salad πŸ₯™etc. Its been tough getting back into the juice this week because once I start eating again, it all tastes soo good and I feel I can’t stop! BUT if I drink enough of the concord grape + lemon juiceπŸ·πŸ‹ (2-3 litres a day) there are no cravings! πŸ˜Œβœ¨ Today was a particularly difficult day for cravings though as I didn't drink enough of the juice during the day whiles I worked in a health food store that has its own organic, vegetarian hot food bar.🍲 (Noah’s on Bloor for those of you from Toronto.) The smells were intense! BUT it has been worth it to stay strong!πŸ™…πŸ½πŸ’ͺ🏽 While fasting I notice things like, an overall feeling of peace✨ and contentmentπŸ•Š, more energyπŸ’«, more optimistic attitude πŸ˜‰β€¦ on my walk today for example the senses were acute. ☺ I was aware of each and every sound in nature, from the birds singing 🎢🐦 to the squirrels 🐿 playing in the trees to the acorns falling, it was amazing!😍 I love being so present to the moment!!! The colours 🌈 of the sunset πŸŒ„ which made the clouds pink were vivid. The scents of the plants and flowers 🌼 all so fragrant.

I don’t know many people who desire or have adopted a lifestyle similar to mine however I am grateful for where I am today. Less is really more! πŸ•Šβ˜Ί

I am sending light🌈 and loveπŸ’— to all of you who struggle with being with your’self’. πŸ•Š I know how difficult it can be and how quickly one begins to feel lonely. But I also know that time with one’self’ allows for self-reflection and ultimately compassion and love of the self and therefore others. πŸ˜‰

May all beings be happy. πŸ™πŸ€—πŸ˜˜
