sip the tea
i love tea and always forget. coffee is always my go-to for caffeine. too much sugar input with coffee for my liking. at least I opt for natural sweeteners like raw honey with tea so this is a reminded to brew some hot leaves vs. beans

i am very fixated on food. now to have a healthy relationship with the load of crap!
1.Eat for pleasure not for therapy. Food is not the primary pleasure in life.
2. Food doesn’t have morality. Food is not good nor eviiiLLLL.
3. Realizing the political implications of food. It is dependent on environment and availability.
4. Avoid being sanctimonious. The way I eat is a choice that I have made for how I want my body to feel.
Feels like I took a hiatus from my very own body but I’M back BABYY. I did not start this blog off right. After indulging myself in body positivity books, podcasts, social media content... I needed to go through that. I started this blog thinking i need to fixate on calorie counting and knowing how much to run within a week to drop a pound. Now in my absence (from writing), I have achieved amazing financial/career goals. I am fully responsible and independent! It’s very empowering as an young adult and woman, but I was hit hard with anxiety and worry for being on my own. I have love and support in my life, I have amazing friends and boyfriend. Now that I am at the peak of my goals, I just need new goals now. It’s such a thrilling rush when you reach the finish line, yet strange. The dust settles. You are in charge of creating your own peace.
I created a space that I had goals, and am surprised that I actually succeeded. I feel like I lack confidence that exists and remains. “If you get this done.... you’ll finally be happy.” Once I’m there, there’s still a lost feeling. It starts off that I feel like I am undeserving. Progress is not linear. I am here to make a lifestyle change. Love the body that I am in. Love my body that is mine.

MOOD
Just read that there’s no such thing as will power. When we develop cravings at night, specifically sugar, it means that our bodies didn’t receive the right amount of daily nutrient intake. Our bodies go into panic survival mode and that’s why we can easily stuff our faces and eat a block of cheese, frenzied.
5 step protocol
Ladies, we need to do our own research about women’s health. This book serves as a great introduction. There’s more to contraceptives that we should be aware of before being suggested to take. As annoying as it is, it’s so important to track what you put in your body and look at specific symptoms as your body telling you what it needs. This author offers so much helpful advice and knowledge.
Connect body and mind.
Stablize your blood sugar
Nurture your adrenals

Fiber
Benefits:
Soluble fiber. This type of fiber dissolves in water to form a gel-like material. It can help lower blood cholesterol and glucose levels. Soluble fiber is found in oats, peas, beans, apples, citrus fruits, carrots, barley and psyllium.
Insoluble fiber. This type of fiber promotes the movement of material through your digestive system and increases stool bulk, so it can be of benefit to those who struggle with constipation or irregular stools. Whole-wheat flour, wheat bran, nuts, beans and vegetables, such as cauliflower, green beans and potatoes, are good sources of insoluble fiber.
Good for your digestive health and immune system
Feeds the good bacteria (called probiotics) that live in there
Soluble fiber dissolves in water and becomes a gelatinous form, which may help to slow digestion and help your body absorb vital nutrients from foods. Insoluble fiber stays in its fibrous form, helps food pass through the digestive system, and adds bulk to the stool, which helps you to stay regular.
Lowers cholesterol health
Helps control healthy blood sugar levels
Aids in achieving healthy weight

4 Tips on How To Love Yourself
I just wanted to take some some time to give you guys some tips on how to love yourself a little better than yesterday <3 I hope you enjoy :)
1. Wear What Makes You Feel Good
It’s important to do things for yourself everyday !! That includes wearing the things you love that make you feel beautiful. Whether it’s crop tops or full length dresses; Maybe it’s leggings and an oversized shirt or it’s bright/dark colors !! For me I enjoy less (even with my new scars as of recent idc because an accident shouldn’t change what I like), and absolutely nobody should be able to tell me otherwise. I like showing my tummy & my cleavage I like being able to look in a mirror and think “you look great dude”. And whatever you like to wear should make you feel the same !! I still have to listen to comments from people (especially Grandma, still love her though <3) at times but that’s just how they like their body to be dressed. It shouldn’t matter what anyone else thinks when it comes to your happiness :))
2. Wear Less Makeup & Take Better Care of Your Skin <3
When I was in my teens, I used to wake up early as hell and put makeup on every single day (5:30am Sharp). I was convinced that was the only thing that made me look put together. My skin was unhappy with me, lots of breakouts on my forehead and nose (which really just made my makeup look worse). And every time I took my makeup off it was like they were yelling hey to me, it was all I noticed. When I went to college I just got tired and stopped putting in the effort to put on a full face everyday. I washed my face every night like I always should’ve done & now I don’t wear makeup more than 5 times a month (feels so weird to say that even all this time later). But I look in the mirror and I love what I see, minimal breakouts &soft skin. I get excited to wash and moisturize my face at night !! You just gotta take care of the things you care about <3
3. Replace Negative Thoughts with Positive
Now this one may seem impossible but I promise it’s do-able. I’ve been working on this with my therapist as of recent and she explained to me that my negative thoughts are just these panicky unreasonable thoughts that my mind is just using to hurt and give up on me. And when I think of them that way I just take a deep breath when they run through my head and tell myself “no that’s not true that’s just ridiculous I’m….” and whatever corrective thought that needs to follow. For example, I’ve had a thought that since my body is marked up, people will take one look at me and assume that I’m this damaged thing and different & no longer want anything to do with me. But I know that it’s just myself overthinking and I remind myself I didn’t do this to myself and a couple scars isn’t enough to render someone as “useless”. Whenever negative thoughts are taking over. Just breathe and reassess those unreasonable negative thoughts.
4. Making Space for Yourself Each Day
I am not so good at this when I have a lot to manage and I know everyone is busy at times; But when you make time for yourself to take care or spend time doing things you love, you feel better. You think to yourself “See, I did that for me and it made me feel great”. I love having “me” days where I can clean, draw/color, paint my nails, and listen to what feels like every song on the planet !! :,) You may enjoy different things. I have friends who like to write poetry, take photos, have photos taken, take long baths, spend time outdoors, travel, watch Netflix all day & eat their heart out while doing it, and honestly everything in between !! Investing in yourself is the most worthwhile thing you can do when trying to figure out how to love yourself. You will pick up on things you’re good at and look in the mirror and smile knowing you accomplished things that made you feel good !!
Go out there and love yourself a little more today <3
All helpful self care. worth to save.
Let your heart remind you that you deserve good things, even when your brain has you convinced that you don’t.
