What is health and wellness and where does it actually begin? As the month and designation of “Health and Wellness Month” unfolds it is important to have a new insight into the depth we call health—and ask the question “What can I do to create more wellness in my life?”
For most it seems, that elusive term somehow slips from our view, as our own power, innate wisdom and guidance is relinquished to the “men in white coats.” However, just like freedom is all a state of mind–so is our health. There is no limited quality—nor is it only available to some—and not others. We have not been handed “bad genes” as once believed by medicine, but instead have the power within our grasp. It is our responsibility. And, it is ours for the allowance. We have the ability to heal ourselves of anything. We have to ask ourselves, what do I really want? Do we simply want relief or do we want to be healed and step into a life of true health and a life of wellness to accomplish what we came here for? Ready?
First we must declare that intention. I believe true health lies hidden in what has been called self-love, and it is a reflection of our balance or imbalance and all have access. Those receptors, antennae or Wi-Fi signals within our cellular structure that “hear” every thought, know every intent, allowance and recognize the energy of love are listening. The good news is once we have the information and understanding we have the power to do something!
What you say, I am responsible for my own well-being? I am not a victim of genetics? Can you own that? Are you willing to “try this new belief on?” Or does this statement make you angry or mad? Perhaps it empowers you to do something different? Are you willing to take action? Now, we’re getting somewhere!
Cutting edge science is not only talking about this but has proof as well. And, you won’t hear this from big pharma who wants you to believe otherwise and stay trapped in the downward spiral of drugs and more drugs, helpless to do anything for ourselves.
We are beings of light and have the power to change our reality to anything we choose; it is free for the asking! What a concept!
Let me offer you 10 suggestions to get you on the road to your life of wellness:
1.) Turn off the news on the T.V. Why do you want to program yourself with fear–conflict and negativity? Instead, find a way to laugh–and experience everyday joy! Feeling better already?
2.) Get outside. Feel the energy of Mother Earth. Go for a walk. Take off your shoes—go to the beach. Plan a picnic. (Even if it is a simple sandwich & sitting quietly by yourself.) Open the windows, and let the Devas in! Find something to celebrate!
3.) Eat well–the best you can afford. Eat your fruits and vegetables and drink plenty of water. (And, no ketchup does not count as a fruit or veggie.) The fresher the better. Frozen is better than canned. Choose things that need no label or have 5 ingredients or less. Plant a garden or simply put a few plants in pots. Herbs do well in small spaces and can be fun to grow and experiment with. I grow tomatoes in the winter (south Florida season) but have rosemary, basil, green onions, thyme, sage, chives and parsley which do quite well. Shop farmers markets for affordable organic. STAY AWAY FROM GMO’s. And, skip the orange juice—it has lots of sugar. Instead opt for an orange instead. Cut down or eliminate the dairy.
4.) Do not use a microwave. Microwaves change the polarity of food. Go back to the stove!
5.) Exercise! Exercise relieves stress and stress kills! This doesn’t mean you have to join a gym unless that suits you. Think movement: Dance, swimming, walking, bicycling, or tennis—just get your body moving!
6.) Meditate. If you don’t know how purchase a cd–or visit a nearby yoga class. These classes are for every age. Find one you like. All are different—it depends on the instructor. Stress was designed for short periods–like getting chased by a tiger. When we are stressed our immune system stops working and we are more susceptible to pathogens–germs–disease. Give yourself permission to quite your mind. Fill it with positive thoughts, expectations and breath. It is our connection to Spirit—God—or All That Is.
7.) Do you have toxic relationships in your life? If your relationships are filled with anger, or other negativity remove yourself. Instead choose relationships that are caring, loving and supportive. Choose to trust that you will create space for positive relationships if you clear out the old and give allowance for someone new. Remember like attracts like.
8.) Get creative. Creativity can create your future: your wishes, desires, aspirations, and future. Having fun elevates your mood which is good for your health. Creativity can show up as writing, drawing, photography, and singing–all those wonderful right brain activities; choose one!
9.) Drop in to your heart–get out of your left brain for a second–and feel yourself in a perfect state of wellness, harmony and the feeling of love. Then read the statement below every morning with intention and allowance! Really feel it!
“Dear Cellular Structure,
I wish to have the attributes that I have earned in what I call my past that will enhance the ability for me to live my current life with more ease and grace. I wish to recall those things that will allow me to live longer, do my work better, and give me peace over the things that I desire to do. I wish to mine the Akash for this, which is in my personal DNA.”
10.) Get help if you need to. This is not a sign of weakness but one of choice and power. Einstein noted years ago, that doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results was the definition of insanity. Get out of your own way. Emotions and the mind play the biggest role in determining our state of wellness. These beliefs that we carry are the only thing that is really “inherited”—and the biggest question is: Are we ready to do something to change our outdated story—habits and belief system to one that serves us better? I say YES! What is it for you?
Health and wellness begins and ends with us. There are no victims–only unawareness. Step into your innate power and light–own it. Pretend you are “air traffic control” give the new coordinates to those 50 trillion cells within your body–and see what positive changes begin to unfold. Take your INTENT and your alchemy to create the greatest happiness and state of wellness you have ever known!
