Some gratitude this morning:
I am grateful for how I manage the holidays with more mindfulness and ease. They can be stressful when it's time to relax, right?
When I was younger, I used to overindulge during the holidays. Lots of sweets and overeating because I was "celebrating." And I saw its effects in my health. Acne, rashes, inflammation..the works. When I made the connection that you are what you eat, I changed my eating habits. And it literally changed my life.
Now I am more mindful of what I am eating, and just as IMPORTANT, how I managed stress! Wheeww, stress can give you a good kick! Stress of life and work got to me as I got older even when I was eating right. There was a point in my life where eating became associated with extreme discomfort and bloating. I use to walk around bent over from severe stomach pain or discomfort. Every thing I ate caused me anguish--even drinking water. 😣. Now I no longer feel this pain
How the heck did I get rid of this pain? More soon.
