The Four Important Resolutions That Will Benefit You In The Future:


                No matter what your intentions are for the New Year, these resolution, which I'll mention to you, will benefit you in the future health wise.  
1.  Getting at least 8 hours of sleep a night.  This allows you to restore and regenerate your body.  I get 12 hours of sleep a night.  I know that seems a lot but my body thanks me for it everyday.  
2.  Drink plenty of water.  When you wake up have at least 16 ounces of water because your probably dehydrated first thing in the morning.  A useful tip to see if you're drinking enough is the color of your urine.  If your urine is a gold color your not hydrating enough.  If it's clear your on the right path.  
3.  Meditation:  This goes hand in hand with getting enough sleep.  Meditation allows your mind to recuperate from what stress is ailing you.  Give your mind a little me time by being mindful of things around you.  Allow your mind to rest.  Try aromatherapy with the scent of lavender at the same time as using a meditation app for at least 5 minutes every morning or evening.  
4.  Eat plenty of vegetables and fruit.  Try meal prepping so you can plan in advance what food you are going to eat.  Usually if you don't plan you tend to grab towards unhealthy foods.   Put greens into a smoothie with some frozen fruit and a healthy protein powder.  For protein you can try peanut butter instead of protein powder.  Try a salad with kale, cucumber, cabbage and cut up some vegan meat alternatives and toss with olive oil and apple cider vinegar.  Before making the salad, prepare the kale and cabbage in a zip lock bag so all you have to do is make your salad in a bowl.  Have a veggie filled  dinner such as ratatouille, butternut squash soup, vegan chili, stir fry some tempeh with some steamed broccoli and noodles.  

                There are plenty more resolutions that I could add but these are the four important ones.  
                I know its been awhile since I've posted a blog.  I would like to post weekly blogs to keep up the practice.  Maybe a recipe blog of a favorite vegan dish, or a book review of a complete book or what I've read so far for a reading challenge.  But until then, ta ta for now! #NewYearsResolution #HealthyMindHealthyBody

Morning Routine for Someone with Bipolar Disorder

      Bipolar Disorder is a serious illness and it is crucial for that person to stick to a schedule to find stability in his or her life.  I am sharing with you, today, my morning routine that I use to keep me grounded.       1) The night before, set an alarm for nine to ten hours so you can be fully rested to take on the day.  I set my alarm for 10pm to 8am to allow my medication to finish doing its job and is flushed from my system.       2) Don’t look at your phone until you have finished your morning routine.  This task is tricky for I am still working on it.  But this is an important to task.  I don’t know but people become obsessed over the news they find on social media and status they either get or don’t get.  This obsession is proven to hinder the mental health.  So, it is important to practice this task of less screen time to help improve the quality of life.       3) Before picking...

To Just Be.....

Image
          A feeling of strong, unbreakable chains that seem impossible to break.  A heaviness on my shoulders that keep on weighing me down into this quick sand.  I'm stuck.  Oh, how difficult it is to pick up one leg and then the other.  I'm sinking further and further into the unknown....this black whole.  There is no light.....no illumination of hope.  Just darkness.       When I wake up it is still dark.  "Help!" I yell out.  "Is anyone here?"  But no response.  Not even one murmur.  As I stumble around to find my way through this blackness, I come across a wall and then another, and another.  The air here is so stagnant.  My chest is heavy and in pain from lack of breathing.  I am running, feeling my way around just to find each door blocked, unable to open it to the other side.  Each stair case never ends, but is spiraling and spira...

I Deleted Social Media For Two Months and This Is What Happened

Image
      So, as you could see by the title of this post is I deleted all of my social media.  The reason for this was the negativity and thinking no one wanted me.  But it was basically a drug taking took hold of my emotions and thought process.  The really tough part of stepping away were the “withdrawals”.  How many people are following me now?  Did anyone unfriend me?  Who are my friends?  Who can I count on during turbulent times?  Nobody wants me…. Pretty depressing, huh?  Allowing myself to think like that was sick.        But what I did was give myself the attention I truly needed.  I did this in the form of meditation…twice a day.  It helped me to come into contact with what was bothering me and why.  It taught me to focus on my inner self, my breath.  I did this for 41 days and going.  I have made it a practice to give me this moment to breathe.       Right now I...
