Good Morning!
We all have days that we just don't feel ourselves. I have a headache, I feel run down, I ache... What is my body trying to tell me?
Let's not run too far ahead. Start by going to a quiet place and relaxing. Not so easy to do in today's world, but it will get easier with practice. At first you may need to physically lock yourself away... eventually you will be able to open your mind and find that quiet place. When you get there, listen.... what is your body telling you?
Are you craving certain types of food? Salty? Sweet? This may be your body's way of telling you that you need certain things in your diet - Salty may translate to root vegetables. These vegetables grown in the ground absorb more minerals and salt from the earth. Sweet may translate to fruits - these are our natural "desserts."
Do you tend to lean towards certain colored fruits / vegetables without thinking about it? What foods catch your eye in the produce section? Dark Green? Purple? Orange? Walk through one day and let your mind / body tell you what you need. Dark Green vegetables are the most needed greens in your diet. You should look to add them as much as you can. If you don't like the dark green cooked - try it raw in a salad. Your dark fruits are the best to eat on a regular basis. They have the most beneficial nutrients. Blueberries and blackberries should be eaten weekly, as should bananas (the real fruit to keep the doctor away).
Is your body tired? Run down? Stress and depression hit your body hard. Believe it or not, forcing yourself to get out and do something active - especially outside in the sun, does a LOT to relieve that tired run down feeling. You don't have to go out and run a marathon - start slow. Go for a 30 minute walk. Pick up things in the yard. Make sure you get 30 minutes of sunshine (when possible) every day. It is a huge boost to your attitude and energy.
Until tomorrow... enjoy a day in the sun!
