Day 30 of 30 day Raw smoothie challenge

What a challenging yet wonderful journey this month has been. 30 Days to form a positive habbit changed so many other things in me too. I learnt to be patient with myself, that good food is love and loving my body, by this one act alone is powerful.

As an NLP Results Coach I am in love with the Human nervous system, its infinite potential and power. Its not just a knowing in my mind anymore but a physical feeling, that is very subtle and it comes from the living energy I fed my body. I felt lighter in a different way and as heavy as lead on the days I missed my raw smoothie. Living foods realy change a person from the inside out.

I am inspired to do better. I will return with another project to share, motivate and inspire you and myself to be the best in anything and everything. Thanks for following.

Todays recipe: lots and lots of freshly squeezed oranges. So yummy, my skin is thanking me :).

I love you all.

Day 29. Energy and Time.

Everything is energy. Everything in existence, the only difference is the frequency of different vibrations. Kirlean photography allows us to capture enery not visible to the naked eye. Its so cool. We would look very much like this raw apple here, just with a slightly stronger vibration and more colours.

So I invite you to consider; If its true that we are what we eat, this means we take on the vibration of everything we consume as well. An amazing thing begins to happen to your body when you consume raw foods. What happens is every one of your trillion cells vibrate at a higher vibration, the vibration of living foods. The effects are - MORE ENERGY amongst a million others. You are what you eat. In my expereince when I was high raw I had so much energy, I had extra time from needing less sleep than others. The human digestive system uses atleast 40% of nerve energy to process cooked food. When I switched to raw, all that energy was freed up because all raw foods have living enzymes that do the digestion for me.

On raw foods, my body does not need as much sleep to detox. From 7 to 8 hours of sleep a night, I was sleeping three hours less on average. This is normal for raw foodists. Lets do the math. Two hours less sleep per night equates to an extra month a year ! What could you do with that extra time? How much more could you achieve?

Initially the transition to more raw foods will create detox, during this time you may even need more sleep to heal. But after the cleansing crisis, Oh boy, your life will change due to more energy and time alone.

Here is a kirlean photo comparing the energy of cooked and raw cabbage.

Todays smoothie recipe: 1 head of baby cabbage, 3 pears and the juice of 6 oranges.

Day 28. Oh My....

Hello Beautiful People.

Day 28 hey! time flies. almost the end of my 30 day challenge and let me tell you it has not been easy. My comfort zone is rather powerful and persuasive in keeping me cosy and unsatisfied ;).

I have learnt a lot this month for which I am grateful. I did miss a few days of keeping up with smoothies and juices and upon self introspection I was able to understand the garbage that supported my sabotage. and its wonderful to uncover, forgive myself and try again.

I learnt that I was not allowing myself to be completely happy. For me happiness is completely dependant on feeling great physically, being healthy, vibrant and confident. This feeling of what i call physical freedom permeates into every area of my life - business, family, being intimate... This awareness brought light to every other area of my life where I was able to take full responsibility - oh yeah - not so easy to do. But, responsibilty is the most powerful force to propel me (and you) to making the change. Because, when you empower yourself with complete responsibility for your creations and feelings that means you can change it all 100%.

So, as my challenge comes to an end, I am deciding on my new journey to raw foods. my new challenge will be refined to take the lessons from this one and keep moving forward.

Success is the progressive realisation of a worthy ideal.
Note to self - its a progressive realisation... not an over night achievement.

Whatever your goal and journey, id like to assure you that one step and one day at a time is powerful. Keep at it. It creates momentum and then one day, voila, you will be living your dream, and so will I !

I love you all.

Isnt this a beautiful inspiration to eat more vibrant foods?

Day 18 of 30 day smoothie challenge

Oh My Gosh todays smoothie recipe is Sooo Delicious !
Bananas, apples, strawberries, blue berries and red currants.

This challenge is definately strenghtening the smoothie ritual for me as the days go by, which is my intention. Baby steps but steps nonetheless.

Rituals define us, I believe. Success and Failiure are not overnight events that just happen, but are the effect of our rituals, our consistent daily actions and thoughts. for example: the daily rituals of a healthy person VS a not so healthy person are very different. One might jump out of bed and exercise or go to Bikram Yoga, while another may wake up and reach for the kettle and coffee cup. Understand?

Oh and by the way, the coffee lady in this example was me and the healthy person is my fiance'. our results are very different. Over time our rituals create our results.

I invite you to look at where you want change in your life.

1) Be honest about your current results and circunstance.write them down.
2) What rituals got you there ? write them down

3) What changes do you want ?
4) What small daily rituals will get you there? write them down. Make the decision and take action.

For me, the daily smoothie ritual is a positive habit in the direction of my health goals. Im not 100% RAW yet but i will get there in my own time :). In the past my mind set was an all or nothing approach and I failed, learnt my lessons and here I am starting at the begining, even happier. The benefits of consuming a massive smoothie daily packed with living nutrients are massive. Big change from 1 small consistent action.

I hope you benefit from this blog in your personal pursuits to vibrant health. I hope to inspire you all through my baby steps. Much Love to you.

Day 16. Your body is your canvass

How are you today?

All is well in Johannesburg today. Winter is upon us and the selection of seasonal fruits and vegetables is changing. Beautiful.

My thoughts today.....I am what I eat. Its evident. Just one look in the mirror and I can see the effects of fruits and smoothies and raw foods. I can also see the abuse my Body has endured through processed foods.  Our bodies take the shape, tone and vibration of the foods we eat. Eat living, ripe, glowing foods and your body will reflect your beautiful soul through a living, glowing, vibrant body. Yes it is this simple.

No need to focus on the past. I can, and you can make a new start Now. Its beautiful that there is no need to wait until tomorrow morning or monday or 1 January. You can make a change this minute.

Where would you like to take your life and health now? And what will it look like when you get there? How will you look and feel?

Go on, take a moment to stop what you are doing and create the new you in your mind.

Think -amazing, glowing, beautiful, energetic, confident, sexy, vibrantly healthy ! Everything is created twice. First in the mind and then it is reflected into the world where you live it. This is the working of the Universe.

I cannot decide on my smoothie recipe for today, out to the grocer later to expolre my options and I will share with you  tomorrow. Much Love to you.

Day 14 of 30 day smoothie challenge

Beautiful People, Its Day 14 already !! Just about half way. And I just realised that my day 30 will be celebrated on my birthday, May 31 :)

Everyday I love Raw foods more and more, exploring raw food recipe's, there are so many online. Raw food is the ultimate fast food. straight from nature. Todays smoothie was a yummy mix of bananas, spinach, parsley, apples and celery leaves.

My personal recomendation is to have atleast a litre of your favourite smoothie as your last meal and have it early if you want to deepen and accelerate detox. Raw foods digests QUICKLY because its packed with living enzymes freeing your body from massive nerve energy it would otherwise need to digest cooked food. This ensures that by the time you go to bed all the digestion is taken care of and you will wake up with more energy, clarity, reduced puffiness and reduced water retention. There are lots of sources online about the benefits of nightly fasting which I'll write about more this week so stay tuned.

:)  TO YOUR HEALTH AND HAPPINESS  :)

Day 13 and Leveraging the Universe

Hello Beauties

Apologies for the leave of absence. I have been quite busy but all is well. I am reading a lot at the moment as well. I am inspired by Mike Dooley's Leveraging the Universe.

Let me first begin with a brief backround. Since I was very young I was always interested in Human potential. Learning how to tap into it and seeking an extra-ordinary life. I have been a student of unlimited human power for years and done many courses, read all the books and did whatever I could. I am inspired by helping others through what I know through their own personal breakthrough.. I digress... through it all I forgot how amazingly simple life is. I forgot how simple it realy is to create anything in life. My ego was complicating things a bit ;)

I believe that we are all creators, master manifestors and potent prophets of our lives and all creation, and this has no link to any religion. I beleive it is who we are.

In this book, Mike Dooley spells out exactly what can, should and must be done to harness the Universe and life's magic is the most simple, profound and humorous way. I have been re-inspired to take my life to a new level in my health and businesses.

Id like to share one of Mike's messages from the Universe and one of my favourites that reminds me and maybe you too, to keep moving toward your dreams.

A Note from the Universe

The secret behind miracles is that the ones performing them begin without any knowledge whatsoever of exactly how they will succeed.

Yet still they begin.

When you move, I move.

     The Universe.

PS: Once again, taking action saves the day.

Day 8, 8 May.

Keeping it light today.

I decided to remove the pulp and get juicy. Todays Juice consists of 1 cucumber, ginger, 3 apples, 3 carrots and 1 beet.

Isnt this beautiful. Beetroot and ginger make a potent combination and flush out the liver.

You are beautiful ! Have a beautiful day :)

Going Green. Day 6 of 30 day smoothie challenge.

I enjoy green smoothies a lot. They lift me up, almost like the fog clears from my brain ;)I feel that the more simple the recipe, the happier my body.

Todays smoothie consists of nothing but organic spinach, bananas and the juice of 4 oranges.

I am experiencing significant detox still - release of a lot of mucus, and feeling tired.

The Beauty of physical change and healing is that it never takes as long to detox as it does to get to a toxic state.

Have a Beautiful Sunday. Cheers.

Day 5. Geting Juicy and drowning my excuses

Sound Familiar?
Forming my new habbit of juicing and drinking a raw smoothie daily takes some conscious effort at first, until I am unconsciously competent at it. Its already day 5 and each day becomes easier and more enjoyable.

Today I enjoyed a rather lazy day after some early morning work and enjoyed a beautifully sweet, fresh apple and carrot juice. Carrot juice is adored by our skin. regular consumption makes my skin soft like velvet which I welcome as we move into a rather dry winter climate.

What small piece of 'wisdom' can I offer you? I believe that optimum health, vibrancy and the feeling of freedom and sexiness that comes with it feels way better than anything tastes. (Plus Raw Foods taste amazing). I invite you to make any change that takes you in the direction of your health and hapiness. Its worth it. You are worth it.

Day 4. Detox and staying focused

Pain is weakness leaving the body.
If you are on any kind of dietary transition like me, you are going to go through detox at some stage. Its inevitable. Welcome it. Pain is weakness leaving the body.

Raw foods is so powerful in how it cleanses and heals that you may think the discomfort is caused by the raw foods or healthier foods. This is a myth.

Raw foods frees up so much nervous energy that it would usually use to digest and assimilate cooked and processed foods, so when you start to switch over that energy is freed up and re-directed to handle some much needed internal housekeeping. your cells will release toxins resulting in unpleasant detox but this is short lived. Some detox symptoms are; headaches, feeling tired, body odour,diziness, nausea or vommiting.

Your body is a genius and knows exactly how to heal. listen to your body and give it the rest it needs.

Remember: It has to rain before you can see the rainbow.

Today Im enjoying a green smoothie. 60% fruit (2 bananas and 2 oranges) and 40% leafy greens in the form of spinach from my garden.

Day 3 Baby

,Day 3. I love this number. The Miracle of Living foods is that in such a short time im already feeling the difference. The changes that Im experiencing are:

easier to get out of bed in the morning,

easier and more frequent elimination and

better hydration.

Todays Smoothie consists of: Papaya, bananas, apples, a piece of ginger and juice of 3 squeezed oranges.

My Family have joined me on this challenge and have reported no cravings or hunger during the day and a feeling of lightness, waking up in the morning.

To your health, cheers :)

Day 2. Im Filled with gratitude

Day 2 of my smoothie challenge
and I could already notice my negative self talk, trying to keep me in my comfort zone. But Alas, here is my delicious smoothie of the day, ready to download me with hapiness :)

Todays recipe: Bananas, papaya, apple, spinach and freshly squeezed orange juice.

Today I am extra grateful for my Life. I beleive that every moment of my life is MY creation, the good and the ugly. I beleive that I am a potent prophet of my own life and today my gratitude was amplified by all my creations big and small.

Im grateful that my puppies behaved today :), im grateful for my Businesses that are growing so beautifuly. Im grateful to be surrounded by good people that help one another. Im grateful for my home and family. Im grateful to be able to eat this way and heal my body, Im even grateful for the detox symptoms. It means that my body is changing and healing.

What else can you be grateful for now? its a magical feeling that only brings you more abundance and creations to be grateful for.

Much Love to you all

Day 1 of 30 day smoothie challenge

Good Morning beauties. Day 1 of my challenge is starting off well. If you would like to participate all you have to do is consume atleast 1 raw vegan smoothie a day. No need to change anything else in your routines and rituals. Just add this miracle drink to your day and allow the changes to happen to your body naturally. Todays smoothie consists of: Bananas, guavas and spinach.

The ratio is about 60% fruit and 40% leafy greens. This ratio is perfect for me. The sweet fruit masks the bitterness of the greens and my body sings with joy every time I have one.

You can use any fruit and greens combination you want. We are in Autum now in South Africa so the recipes I use will differ to where you are.

Please share your recipe with me. Id love to know how you are doing.

Benefits of Green smoothies:

-Living nutrients are flooding your body.

-Easy to digest and assimilate. Blending ruptures the cell walls and so the nutrients are absorbed quicky. It may be why your mood changes instantly :)

- A molecule of chlorophyll closely resembles a molecule of human blood. According to teachings of Dr. Ann Wigmore, "consuming chlorophyll is like receiving a healthy blood transfusion". Many people do not consume enough greens, even those who stay on a raw food diet. By drinking two or three cups of green smoothies daily you will consume enough greens for the day to nourish your body, and all of the beneficial nutrients will be well assimilated.

-Your colon will get a much needed scrub. the fibre in the fruits are soft and gentle on your intestines and sweep your colon clean. A misconception of people practicing this for the first time is that they experience constipation in the first day or two. This is due to the natural bulk fibre that the body needs to adjust to. in no time, the cleaning will accelerate and you may be amazed as to how much junk is stored in your body.

-reduced cravings of junk - our body craves because we starve it if living nutrients. a smoothie a day will cut your cravings for artificial sweet junk.

-more energy

-light detox

-clearer skin.

If you are experiencing other wonderful benefits please let me know. Happy tuesday :)
