[sassytspoemsnraps]

I’m literally feeling like I’m living in a dream😇😇😇

⭐️⭐️⭐️My life is like a fairly tale to say the least,

but then as bad as they were at one point I was

“Dancing with the devil” in 🏜 Death Valley🌙🌙🌙

About to tackle my deamons one by one. Head on..

Let that resignate it was a flight situation but I had to

fight I had the strength and courage to look at every

situation and subsequently subjectivity decide. This

was all mere negative thoughts or self conscious

insecurities coming to the surface. The little critics of

your own self. It’s like a sick and twisted game and

your the Joker your playing urself honey. And your

Depriving yourself of what you truly deserve and

what’s out there waiting for you that you were

craving and literally everything that you could ever

asked and hoped for was your reality like your reality

Was about to get better than the dream and you’re

living in a fairytale, Queen of the Underground.

Remind yourself your the one that you very so

created and things were about to get real and I just

had to dig myself out of this after I conquered all my

insecurities and got my Ass back home to heal and

recover from this madness nightmare that it so

quickly turned upside down because you were going

against the timing and the plan that you needed to

go. You wanted to play some more and knowing that

Nothing lasts forever and all good things must come

to an end inevitably but I have not a single regret

because I had to life through each experience to get

me to where I am right now and heal and recover

because that was never for you and part of that being

the reason why you would even fight for something

so much that was it supposed to end up that way did

you guys lived it up and had a good time that you

also add times that we’re not so good but I also

needed those times to realize what I was doing

wrong and never in looking at myself from another 

Perspective and that’s the hard thing to do cause I

never want to believe I’m in the wrong but that

taught me what I needed to learn.. Whether or not he

was telling me the truth or answer my questions it

Was irrelevant because I was still in the wrong

regardless it was a chapter on your journey and those

Extacy eventually come crashing down like a tidal

wave of nightmares and just how quickly things fall

apart when you fight against energy and destiny. I

definitely learned a lot about myself and

relationships and my judgments as well and I do

appreciate all of the great times and I’ll forever have a

special place in my heart for end cure for every

chapter because they helped me realize I was

Allowing to go on. Once I went back home and there

I would rediscover who I was and once I came home

it all just started to Come back together because

there was a comfort in solidarity and self reflection.

And clarity once I refreshed myself what I deserve to

know the whole truth to my purpose and Devine gift

of timeless energy and Realness. I have no regrets

and each lesson I had to learn or relearn again or else

It would continue to come back up and until I was

able to pass the test that was the only way out of it it

was due or die now is the time and could never get

an opportunity again so I knew what I had to do.

and now it s starting to make sense more

Having all these thoughts and questions and not having anyone to turn to going though Some of the heartache on my own sucks but at the same time some of the stuff I needed to do on my own as well as the reflecting and solidarity and just healing and cleanse just a whole refresher because I wasn’t gonna go back to any of that nonsense I was ready to Start my future ends I have a new way of thinking and someone that will complete me more than I could ever even imagine the sweetes and most perfect person for me literally my soulmate my other half see if you want the fairytale then you decide that its really about what you truly want and satisfying to your needs and desires. He gets me in every single way that I never had and silently crave. The rough and hair pulling, biting and just devouring that moment when thier souls finally reconnect being as they were together maybe in another lifetime. Today was the day her dreams came true and she was resdy to start living her life again and finally everything made sense the journey and each lesson and person and situation everything needed to happen to get me here to this very moment and now. I’ll get my fairy tale ending and Man of my Dreams whom will be with me until the end of time until death do us part. True Uplifting Vibrating Magical and Devine ❤️ soul blowong Love and they lived happily ever & hard Times pass we’ll be okay. Together we’ll be alright! Ain’t that the truth. We can conquer the world or destroy it lmao no jk we’re gonna make some babies and make up for the time we lost.

This helped me because she said that no onunderstands because no one walks in your shoes 👠 I never fully understood it at the time but always was in the back of my mind. Well she’s right I just had to allow myself to raise my vibration to the truth and what I deserve As opposed to what I would allow. Consequently at one time things were great but they just slowly got worse it was like a roller coaster but towards the end I was wrestling my demons bringing his out if you’re in the fire feeling it fueling it and all the situations I would create in my head that weren’t even true I would start to believe and then start arguing with me on thoughts I’m not getting paranoid just not knowing what to believe because the truth could be lies and then we Mile I’m the one sabotaging the truth or questioning it because my own insecurities but I hope that there’s no hard feelings just appreciation and gratitude for what happened and how each event pan down and the opportunities that I had to revisit these was once in a lifetime and knowing what I know now it was all worth it it was scary and uncertain and really brave but I was going to risk my for my people and find the truth and fight for what’s right fully deserved and for my sanity in this wicked world where everything‘s not so cookie cut I’m not any safer type of whistle blower but let me tell you the information is out there if you look in the right places and ask the right people you will find it Because you will see it and you won’t even have to question it because you will know once you have that click everything starts to get a lot more real you’re gonna walk through the valley of the shadow of death look at your demons they’re going to challenge you they’re gonna try to drag you down you can’t let that happen that was an old part of you or a part of you that died and no longer exists only in your mind the character you created to play that part in this conundrum of your life but sometimes things get really still and you’re sitting around it’s almost a year two years three years and you need to get out you need to get out of that funk and then you get a taste for life again and you just start to go with it and then it just starts to take you over and you just get so caught up in this fantasy life that’s not real but it’s fun to play and it’s fun to Tesla miss ends test limits and just see where certain nights can take you and just be open minded and in the moment because the thing about that is you only have this moment and that’s the only mom you have and it’s never going to come around again so you have to live embrace it and live it to the fullest it’s one like I was always worried about the past or the future and that gives you just have to be present and except who you truly are and you know the world what what can you throw at me or how can I tackle this today I’m not gonna worry about it because I’m coming to God and when it comes on about it will inevitably be consistent with what you serve so you need to have more respect for yourself and not allow any type of disrespectful remarks or behaviors because you deserve more than that and you don’t know why you let that go on because you were in a dark place and you didn’t know any other way at that point in time and it’s really hard to dig yourself out of it because one after the next excuse after excuse little by little you see the storm sort of brewing and then that’s when lake you know that blender should go on and you should say I am just means I need to rest and recharge or whatever so everyone’s story is different everyone has their faces or favorite things comforts just be around good people don’t let anyone kill your vibe and don’t be afraid to ask questions for skip for what you believe in because you could be leading the way for so many other people that don’t have that choice or they can’t stand up for themselves for that just don’t know how to or have the strength to know you never know and hey if I truly believe something with my whole heart the Universe will conspire to make it happen.🌙

The Whole30

The Whole30 can cause anger, fogginess and exhaustion. The Whole30 will reset your health and well-being.

Do you find that you’re already tired by eleven? Do you frequently experience odd aches or pains? Well, this could all be due to the detrimental effect of certain foods on your body – and quality of life. The Whole30 program may be exactly what you need.

The Whole30 will help you completely reset your health. It’s an innovative way of helping you figure out what’s good for you and what’s not.

The aim is to rid your diet for 30 days of all products that have been scientifically shown to provoke either hormonal imbalances or inflammations in a large number of people.

After 30 days, your body should be set back to neutral. Then, you’ll be able to start slowly reintroducing potentially harmful ingredients such as alcohol. In doing so, you’ll be able to monitor the impact that each ingredient has on your body – whether it affects your moods, energy levels or your sleep patterns.

Eventually, you’ll be able to categorize each ingredient into foods that have a positive impact on your health and foods that don’t. In time, you’ll be able to develop your nutrition plan as a step toward greater well-being.

The technique has been in use for many years, and it has received largely positive feedback from those who have tried it. In fact, 96 percent of people who have taken part in the program have experienced both weight loss and an improvement in their energy levels.

In addition to this, some people enjoy better sleep, feel that they have a greater ability to concentrate and experience better moods. For people who have lifestyle diseases, such as high blood pressure, or allergies, infections, arthritis and ADHD, the program has had a positive effect as well.

However, you don’t need to have a chronic illness to reap the benefits of Whole30. If greater energy and a healthier body are what you seek, then the program is a great fit. So let’s get started.

The Whole30 revolutionizes your relationship with food and reinstates your metabolism.

When most people decide to start eating healthily, it’s usually because they want to lose weight – but there are a multitude of good reasons to take a closer look at what you’re putting in your body.

The Whole30 program was designed to remedy the complicated emotional and psychological issues we develop around food.

Take a bag of potato chips. They’re high in caloric content but low in nutritional value. Consuming this type of food stimulates the reward center of your brain without really supplying any of the nutrients you need.

Eventually, your brain’s reward center is rewired to constantly crave these foods. This is why cookies, chocolate bars and other comfort foods are so detrimental, leading to overeating.

As a result, you end up giving in to the craving and feel guilty for doing so. And as guilt is a negative emotion, this simply spurs you on to quash the feeling with yet more salty, sugary treats.

That’s why it’s so important to find alternative ways of comforting yourself, like spending time with a friend, hopping into the bath, or even going out for a run.

Aside from rectifying your emotional response to food, the Whole30 also sets your metabolism back on track.

Regularly consuming sugar and certain carbohydrates is damaging because these substances eventually slow your metabolism down. Over time, your body starts to rely on the steady stream of sugar and slowly forgets how to burn fat.

That’s why, if you’re eating too much sugar, you find that you need to eat every two hours or so – your body needs fresh fuel to power your metabolism. Otherwise, you end up irritable and struggle to concentrate.

Your blood sugar is another issue to monitor. The body’s blood sugar levels are usually managed by the hormones leptin and insulin, but they are rendered ineffective if your body is supplied with too much sugar.

In the next blink, you’ll learn how to utilize the Whole30 program to work on specific aspects of your diet.

The Whole30 means eliminating foods from your diet – although you may be able to reintroduce them later.

It’s a difficult task, but to begin the Whole30 program, you first have to eliminate certain foods – these include sugars, sweeteners, alcohol, grains, legumes and dairy.

Generally speaking, the negative effects of sugars, sweeteners and alcohol are widely understood, but what about the other ones?

Grains can negatively impact the body because they tend to include inflammatory substances such as gluten. Less well known is the fact that the carbohydrates they contain ferment in your body, which can cause an imbalance in the bacteria present in the gut; this fermentation can also lead to inflammation throughout your body.

Another element to watch out for in grains is phytic acid. This acid makes it difficult for certain micronutrients to be absorbed by your body, meaning that grains provide you with very little nutrition.

Pulses, like chickpeas and lentils, pose pretty much the same issues. Another food to be wary of is peanuts, as they contain proteins that the body simply can’t digest.

Dairy products are also highly problematic and have to be eliminated from your diet, too. The sugar, or lactose, in milk provides a surge of high energy, as it’s intended to encourage the rapid growth of a small mammal. When humans consume milk, this high energy and certain proteins overstimulate the body’s insulin response. This can lead to inflammation or other problems such as obesity or diabetes.

By undertaking the Whole30 program, you’ll learn to what extent these foods are having a negative effect on your individual metabolism – it’s not that these foods are fundamentally bad, but rather whether they disagree with your body.

Initially, it may feel like a drastic change, but after 30 days you may be able to start reintroducing some of the foods you’ve eliminated.

Shortly after you’ve removed these ingredients from your diet, whatever ailment you’ve been suffering from – whether that be low energy or bloating, for instance – will most likely start to improve. To identify which foods are causing you problems, sample each ingredient you removed and monitor how your body reacts. If you notice a certain food is not working well for you, remove it from your diet indefinitely. You can reintroduce the foods that cause no trouble.

The Whole30 can cause anger, fogginess and exhaustion.

Forewarned is forearmed. Although you’ll probably experience energy peaks and positive changes in your mood as you delve into the Whole30 program, there will also likely be a host of negative side-effects to contend with.

Fogginess, for instance, is a common side-effect. It can feel a bit like a hangover. The more unhealthy foods you gorged on before you started the program, the higher the likelihood that you’re going to feel awful.

This is a normal reaction to your body detoxing. On certain days, you can end up feeling sore and ache in places. It could take several weeks for your body to be completely free from toxins and return to its regular functioning. As trying as it can feel at times, it’s important to soldier on as the benefits of completing the program are well worth it.

Two other side-effects that you’re likely to endure are anger and exhaustion. Your body is initially going to react negatively to the drop in sugar due to you cutting out lactose, carbs and other ingredients. Think about all the cookies and donuts you used to consume to assuage your feelings of anxiety. Now that you no longer eat them, you’re bound to feel stressed and angry as there’s nothing to pacify your brain.

A shortage of sugar can also cause exhaustion. This happens because the cells in your body which generate energy – known as mitochondria – have to adjust and relearn how to transform the fat in your body and the food you eat into energy, rather than relying on the sugars that used to routinely course through your bloodstream.

To make it easier for your friends and loved ones as you’re feeling the full force of these side-effects, you should tell them beforehand to anticipate mood swings – that way, they’ll expect odd behavior from you.

Now that the adverse side of the Whole30 is out of the way, it’s time to get familiar with the tasty recipes and cooking tips that are part and parcel of the program.

Certain kitchen utensils make it easier to prepare vegetables and meat while doing the Whole30.

The Whole30 program has a range of easy, fun recipes to prepare. However, if you want to make your life easier, there are some kitchen tools you might want to get.

First up, there’s a selection of utensils that are great for preparing delicious vegetable-based dishes.

Everyone knows what an arduous task it is to chop garlic into small pieces, so bypass the fiddly stuff and get yourself a garlic press. You simply hit the garlic clove with the flat of a knife, peel off the skin and slot the clove into the garlic press. Et voilà!

Another useful tool is a high-quality food processor. A food processor will allow you to transform raw ingredients, like chunks of vegetables, into sauces or mashes without requiring dilution with liquid, which is often the case when using a blender.

A julienne peeler will also make preparing vegetables a lot simpler. This peeler allows you to create long, thin vegetable strips – so making vegetable noodles is a cinch.

Now that you’ve got your vegetables sorted, consider the tools you’ll need to prepare your meat. It’s essential to cook meat to the correct temperature but it takes a lot of practice to know when it’s cooked all the way through, so why not cheat and be on the safe side with a handy meat thermometer? To make your job even easier, the Whole30 recipes all include the right temperatures for cooking your meat.

Lastly, it’s a smart idea to buy yourself a meat tenderizer. It looks like a hammer, and you use it to pummel a cut of meat that you’re planning to either fry or grill.

This relaxes the muscle fibers in the meat, making it more tender and also flattening out the meat so that it’ll cook evenly. You don’t want a thin section that’s overcooked and a thick portion that’s undercooked!

Meticulously prepare your Whole30 meals and make plentiful portions.

In life, it’s always a sound idea to have a plan in place – that way, you’ll improve your chances of success. When it comes to cooking, this attitude can work wonders.

It’s vital to take the time to plan out your recipes. Before you begin cooking, lay out on your kitchen counter all the ingredients, containers and utensils you’ll need. Leave any meat in the fridge for the time being. And remember, it’s also wise to arrange the ingredients in a logical order to make the process of cooking your meal seamless.

Say you want to make chicken soup. First, place the chopped onions, spices and garlic together in one bowl. Then, grab another bowl and sweep in the chopped peppers and tomatoes. Now take the chicken breast from the fridge, cook it and put it in another bowl that you’ve already set on the counter. Add the ingredients from your first bowl to a pan, then add the second bowl’s content, and, finally, the meat. You’ll find this is a simple way to cook that requires little washing up.

It’s also important to make sizable portions of your Whole30 recipes.

The point of the program is not to deprive yourself of food, so feel free to be generous when it comes to quantity. For instance, a Whole30 recipe may suggest a 150-gram steak which may be too much for one person and not enough for another. Therefore, adapt the recipes according to your requirements.

It’s often better to cook larger portions because even if you don’t eat them all in one sitting, you’ll have plentiful leftovers to eat the next day. The Whole30 program is centered around providing nourishment through protein, so it’s essential to make sure that you’re consuming enough of it.

You’re now ready to start cooking, so in the following blinks, you’ll find two basic recipes.

The protein salad is a cornerstone Whole30 recipe.

Having a quick protein snack in your bag is great for when you need something on the go. Many people are tempted to just grab a power bar, but it’s important to have something more nourishing for meals.

This is where the Whole30 protein salad comes in. Generally, a salad is considered to be healthy by most people – but this isn’t true if you’re just going to eat a bowl of lettuce. Again, the goal is to nourish, not deprive yourself. Make sure to add plenty of protein to that bowl!

Eating a protein salad for lunch should keep you full throughout the afternoon, so you don’t have to reach for any treats to satisfy your hunger.

The trick is to make a large portion that will last you for several days. Be wary, though – protein salads are delicious, so you’ll probably be eating a lot more than you planned!

To make a big portion, select 450 grams of a protein of your choice and slice it into chunks. Eggs and smoked or canned fish, for example, are good sources of protein.

Get yourself a big bowl and mix four tablespoons of mayonnaise or guacamole with two tablespoons of vinegar and a pinch of salt and pepper. Make sure you mix it all well before adding in salad leaves and the chopped protein. This is the base of your salad.

Now you can create many variations – maybe go Mediterranean with some olives, dried tomatoes, figs, celery, pine nuts or parsley. Or, why not take it a step further and add some more unusual ingredients? Think raspberries, blueberries or cashew nuts. For an autumnal spin, try including some apple slices, roasted pumpkin, raisins or walnuts.

Stock up on these ingredients and select a favorite dressing so you can throw this meal together at short notice. There are plenty of variations to try, and you can add as much or as little of your chosen ingredients as you like. There are absolutely no restrictions when it comes to compiling this meal – just make sure to include 450 grams of protein.

The Whole30 braised beef brisket includes a slow cooking option.

If you’re missing devouring a big bowl of pasta, this braised beef brisket may be just the substitute.

This recipe is for a brisket that’s around the 680-gram mark. You’ll need salt, pepper, a cooking fat that’s not butter, half a chopped onion, four garlic cloves, fresh thyme and 1.25 liters of beef broth.

To begin, preheat your oven to 180°C. Place three tablespoons of your chosen cooking fat in a thick, ovenproof frying pan, and once the fat is hot, add the beef. Sear the meat on both sides for a couple of minutes before removing it from the pan and setting it aside.

Reduce the pan heat to medium and cook the chopped onion for two to three minutes. After one minute, add the garlic; wait a further minute before putting in the thyme and the broth. Turn the heat up until the liquid starts to boil.

Place the brisket back in the pan, but this time put the lid on and place it in the oven. Leave your meat to cook for four hours – don’t forget to turn it over every hour.

Once it’s cooked through, place the meat in a bowl. Pour all the liquid from the pan into a mixer and blend it into a thick sauce. Add this to the pan, and cook for a further five minutes. Combine it with your brisket, and your beef is ready to be served.

The braised beef brisket can also be made using a slow-cooking process, which is ideal if you want to come home to a delicious warm meal after work.

To prepare it, take all the ingredients and put them in a slow cooker in the morning. You’ll need less liquid using this method – use just enough to cover the meat. Allow the brisket to cook for eight or nine hours while you’re away at work – just quickly make the sauce with a mixer and a pan when you get home in the evening.

As these two recipes prove, not only will the Whole30 do wonders for your health, it’ll also introduce you to a variety of wholesome, delicious meals.

Final summary

The key message in this book:

As the famous adage goes, you are what you eat. So, if you’ve ever suffered from an unexplained ailment or just felt less energized than usual, the Whole30 program may be just what you need. For 30 days, you purge your diet of any food groups that may be causing health issues. Through conscious eating and slowly reintroducing non-problematic ingredients, you could be on the road to better general health and well-being.

Actionable advice:

Abide by the Whole30 when eating out.

When you’re at home, it’s fairly easy to stick to the program, but what about dining out? To help you stick to the diet plan, why not do some research on the restaurant beforehand? When it’s time to order, feel free to request what you need. Be confident with your approach but remain respectful and polite toward the staff for going that extra mile for you.

Suggested further reading: Nutrition and Physical Degeneration by Weston A. Price

Based on the author’s meetings with many of the world’s indigenous people, Nutrition and Physical Degradation presents a comparison of the health of those who consumed only local whole foods and those who had begun to include processed foods in their diet. The author found that the latter suffered from problems with their teeth, bodies and brains, while the former remained strong and vigorous. Having investigated the differences between processed and local whole foods, the book argues that diets made up of processed foods lack the requisite vitamins and minerals for maintaining a healthy body.
