30. Going somewhere alone. I never realized how empowering it felt until recently, when I the gained courage to venture out into my city’s streets alone. It’s so enlightening. You really get to notice the little details that make life beautiful. As much as I love my friends and family, a simple walk just with yourself lets you realize all the things you’ve been missing.
I was already starting to eat healthy before I realized my indigestion, but now I am paying more attention to what I actually feed my body. Ever since, I have made slight changes that have improved my health on the whole:
- An extra glass of water during the day
- A cup of vegetable juice almost everyday
- Ground flax seeds in my breakfast
- Whole grain instead of whole wheat or white
- Replaced half the grains in my lunch for a salad with lean meat
- Snacks are nuts, seeds, fruit
- Eat at home whenever possible, or order something light
- Drink tea daily, and coffee very occasionally
- Have the soup first, then vegetables, then grains, then meat (I used to rush to eat the heaviest food first, then get too full for my veggies)
- Realize nothing is off-limits!
Things I’m working on:
- Eat less more frequently
- Eat slower, and don’t concentrate on the tv during dinner
- A glass of water/juice in the morning
- Natural/organic food when possible (honey instead of sugar, organic fruit etc)
- No eating after 8
Hope I helped somehow!
I also need to try harder to not fall asleep after I eat. I’m always low on energy (don’t sleep enough, or deep enough), then crash at the 3 pm wall. What are some snacks for good energy?
