Is Constipation causing your poor health?

At some point in time we have all experienced constipation. Constipation is one of those things people hate to talk about. Ever wonder why we are so comfortable to urinate in a public restroom but we dread having to do a number 2? We would rather suffer and wait until we get home. What in our socialization made us think we should hide the act of excreting harmful waste?

In my Health Coaching practice, I have noticed persons get a bit uneasy whenever they are asked if they have experienced constipation. In fact persons who suffer from the condition often down play it.

The truth is, Constipation is not to be taken lightly, it’s a very serious condition that can cause several side effects. These side effects often impact the quality of living of the individual.

Constipation lowers the body’s resistance. Other excretory organs such as lymph, skin, liver, kidney and lungs become overworked. Some of the side effects are:

1. Hemarhoids and fissures
2. Abdominal pains
3. Bloating and Gas
4. Severe Headache
5. Skin Blemishes
6. Halitosis (bad breath)
7. Low energy
8. Moods Swings
9. Heart Disorders
10. Arthritis
11. Varicose Veins
12. Weight Gain
13. Slow metabolism

The list could go on and on. Constipation can be caused by a number of issues, stress, poor diet, lack of exercise, and even a change in routine, whatever the cause it should be treated and must never be taken lightly.

The common mistake is that most of us ignore our constipation until it becomes unbearable or chronic.

Like any other health issue, it’s important to treat the root cause. Depending on the severity, there are different options to assist your bowel, in eliminating at least once a day. While pharmaceuticals can be used prolonged used is not advised.

There are several different approaches that can be taken to get your bowel movement regular. It is important to deal with this on a individual basic as no two persons situation is exactly the same. Working with a Health Care Practitioner may be best rather than self medicating. Avoid excessive use of the cleansing teas, and laxatives containing SENNA (this slow poisons the body).

Instead, cultivate some good habits of regular exercise, increased water consumption, eat lots of green vegetables and fruits, decrease excessive processed foods. Address stressful situation and do not allow them to take root.

Love

Today was one of the most amazing days of my life yet.  A series of events unfolded that has forever changed my life. I realized at the core of it was LOVE operating under cover.

I have come to understand that with all the things we continue to chase, at the most basic level we desire to be loved and give love in return. Most of us deny ourselves that opportunity to experience real love.  As we use our past circumstances to judge, and we carry unnecessary baggage. We hold onto things that no longer serves us. We wrap ourselves in a web, we create all kinds of obstacles, not realizing that our lives are shaped by our own thoughts.

In our quest for love, most of  us search for love in people, things and possessions. We are so busy searching, that we forget to look in the most obvious place…..in ourselves.

Love is such a beautiful thing, but if we do not truly love ourselves we cannot give it, nor can we receive it.

According to 1 Corinthian 13: Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.  Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.  It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

As I continue my journey of self discovery, growth in all directions, I am standing in LOVE. I choose to participate in it. I give myself totally and freely to truly love. I understand and acknowledge that no matter what I achieve, if I do not truly love, I have gained absolutely nothing.

This note is dedicated to you, who have reminded me of the importance of Love. Thank you M.B. My gratitude is endless. I honor the divine in you.

Doing Life

So today I sat reflecting, as I heard the most remarkable accounts of an amazing individual.
As I listened, I saw a display of love, affection, and of just pure gratitude. I wondered if we all really told you while you were here? I wondered if you knew how we felt? I came to conclusion you did.

I remember the day you sat with me, I told you my dream and plans. You told me how proud you were of me, and you saw me writing those books. I told you that your energy was causing, the hair on my hands to raise. Something about you was totally different on that day. Something….inside me knew that you were going away.

I pretended I didn’t know because, I thought I could will it away. The last few years have really taught me to truly love, live and laugh. Seeing your grace and poise and how you conquered it all. You never wanted pity or used your situation as an excuse, you fought brave.

When I look at my own life, I feel as if, there is so much more to do and accomplish. Yet I am at peace. I also recognize, that while we are busy living for others, we must make a moment for ourselves. For we cannot give, unless we are truly whole.

We all have a purpose and mission to accomplish here. Today you reminded me to truly LIVE. My question to the people is simple: “What are you waiting on to live”? “Who have you been blaming for your failures?”, Life is NOW.

Reassess, your current situation and re-adjust if necessary. We truly have NO guarantees. Don’t be too caught up in what people will think, be YOU.

I am doing LIFE…..Thank you Mahima for that reminder.

Embracing what’s inside!

Hey Living Healthy peeps

It’s been a while. What have you been up to?  I have been so busy, doing talks, writing and coaching, have totally missed you. I hope the summer brings you a spirit of fresh ideas and as usual divine PURPOSE.

The journey so far, has been interesting, scary at times but definitely fulfilling. The most frequent comments from persons are; “you are very brave“, “oh I cannot do that because I have no money, or support“, “Your situation is different“,  sometimes all I can do is smile, for if they only knew my struggles and the price I have had to pay.

My journey has not been easy so far, there have been times when I felt like quitting!  This was before I understood the principle of doing things without expectations. The desires that have been placed in my DNA are so strong…that I don’t even consider myself brave, I just have to do what’s on the inside.

The passion I have to see people healed, physically, spiritually and mentally, I attribute to GOD. For it was when  I asked for my purpose that the desires started to unfold.  How do I know he answered me? I called him by name and he answered. If you are in a room with 5 persons and they all have different names, if you call Jane, do you expect Terry to answer?

If you truly want to know, then ask, just be ready for the answer.  Some time ago when my mom told me I would become a Motivational Speaker, I was furious. I hated doing presentations, people would not believe me as I never appeared nervous but trust me on the inside it was DIFFICULT.

Today, I totally embrace this aspect of me. I had been a Speaker  (with focus on Wellness)a long time but did not recognize it.The Institiute of Integrative Nutrition, has been a blessing as it gave me the opportunity to expand my view of life, and to meet people from all over the world.  I went there thinking I would be learning about Health and lifestyle issues, but came away with so much more.

It took me a long time, approximately 3 years to accept my life was evolving and I was being pulled out of my comfort zone. In fact I was so confused I would be constantly seeking approval. One day in my quiet time with the lord, he told me “to be still”. He spoke to me in a clear precise way and told me how to move and what to say. I did!  Look out for the book that will give you all the details!

If you want to “birth” what’s on the inside, it must have a period of  gestation, nurturing and growth.

How do you get out what’s on the inside?

1. Ask Yourself!
2. When the answer come, Do not second guess
3. Do not seek approval from others, you will stunt your growth
4. Journal your deepest thoughts, and meditate on them
5. Create a roadmap of where you want to go
6. Do not be afraid to change things around
7. Keep a board with the visions clearly
8. DO Not share with anyone until the gestation period is over
9. Learn from your mistakes quickly
10. Be very honest, no corner cutting!
11. Forget about pursuit of material, it will not make you happy
12. Find persons who are positive to help you
13. Have water walking faith, do not take your eyes off the prize

Have a great day, stay blessed, remember to honour the body with the right foods.

Sugar Blues – Kicking the pounds

Hey guys

I am gearing up to give a talk about sugar at “heart ease” nestled in a very unique setting in the heart of the Golden Triangle.  Why talk about sugar?

Well there are so many people addicted to sugar, yet they don’t have a clue how it affects them.  Are you one of them? Most people do not have a realistic view of how much sugar they consume on any given day. In fact the persons who claim to have given up sugar, including myself, are totally deluded! Why? Sugar is hidden in many foods under some aliases and peculiar names. Some of which I can’t even pronounce!

I want to expose the effects of sugar, show you replacements that are just as tasty or even better, expound on the effects on our bodies and how you can permanently change your relationship with it. For those of you who can’t  lose those extra pounds, you will be shocked to know that you can do so by cutting back on sugar.

Demonstrations and practical solutions will be given. Highlighting, the products that we frequently use and their sugar content.

Some persons may feel this doesn’t affect me, but trust me like the oil spill we are currently facing, we cannot escape the seriousness of the impact. Unless you decide to examine your own sugar addiction, cravings etc, you may be in for a ride on the road to poor health. Yes, it’s that serious.

I do wish for you to make more informed decisions about your foods.  You may visit the NEW and IMPROVED  website to see the details of the event www.mylivinghealthy.com. Please note you must register in order to attend. See the flyer for details.

I wish you a joy, love and peace.  See you there!

The Totality of Possibilities

It occurred to me that several persons are feeling down and out with all the chaos around us. I thought I would share this note for inspiration.

Often times persons come to me at session 1 and they will tell me, Rese I can’t do this or I just can’t achieve that. I usually listen keenly and assess how I can move them from that space into the I CAN. The great thing about being a Health & Lifestyle Coach is that it allows me to truly make a difference in someone’s life. Its usually not about foods but more about the associated emotions…hence why I focus a lot on Life Balancing techniques.

It amazing to see those same persons at session 2, 3 etc shifting gears and achieving the goals we have set together. Most of the issues hinges on lack of confidence and things that were imprinted from our childhood that never left us.

How do you build your confidence and lessen the obstacles? How do you recognize the inhibiting thoughts and move into a space where you can access the totality of the possibilities?

Yesterday is gone, and all we have is now. You have to stop and take a note of all the things that get in your way. If you focus on what doesn’t work, all you will receive is what doesn’t work.

Learning to interrupt the patterns of thought that interrupts us is essential to stabilizing moods and achieving goals. A lot of time we assume things can’t be done because we are told by others (naysayers) and because we run all the negative possibilities first. The truth is, the naysayers themselves have been victims of this same process.

How about shifting your focus on what’s possible? Leave notes in strategic places to remind yourself of what you want. For example instead thinking how broke you are…write messages of the the overflow you have…one may challenge this principle but until you try don’t knock it. The reality is your creative juices may less likely flow if you are focused on what makes you unhappy.

I remember a time when I thought I couldn’t survive without working for someone else. My mind would play tricks on me that I would be homeless, and starving. I would envision my business and would think to myself, What if no one comes? Well my wonderful brother in law, told me (Build it and they will come). Today my clientele is growing with ‘A’ listers (all clients are A listers in my book ), and suddenly I understand that I had False Evidence Appearing to be Real).

There many ways to achieve your goals, to maintain balance, to feel happy, energized, but you must be willing to invest in yourself. You must recognized the value it will bring exponentially. If you invest in the wrong things, then you will never attain value and move to the next level.

What are some of the ways you change your state from negative to positive? Have you truly assessed the Totality of Possibilities?

Purposeful & Free Falling

Hey Guys
When I started this blog I had intended to speak about  nutrition. I had no intention to do an inspirational blog.

However, it seems that I will have to continue to write what the Divine GOD has placed on my heart.

It’s been a few months since I have let go from all that felt secure and decided to walk in faith towards my destiny  and purpose.  I have committed myself to helping others to find purpose and balance. Be careful of what you commit to, the universe will test you.

I can truly say it’s been awesome, I find myself smiling on the inside for silly nothings. Smiling when my little princess says..mama you are so pretty, or mama don’t say that in a  small but strong rebuke.

As I go through my days they  are becoming more beautiful. I am at peace. I hug people very tight these days as I know the beauty in a hug. I understand that some people are lost and confused and sometimes they just need that small light to illuminate their path.

I have these dialogue with the Divine. Sometimes I wonder why me, he says why not you? I can only tell you my story…..I am not here to force, convince or bombard..just to say connect with that source.

It’s a personal journey, you will know it when you find it. Your days will not be the same, every breath will fill your body with an amazing sensation.

Life can be a beautiful experience but only if you choose to experience it that way. To find purpose:
- you will have to remove all the distractions (people, things, idols)
- strip yourself of self delusion
- introspection
- love yourself
- acknowledge and tap into the divine that created you

Here’s to  those of you are brave enough to seek purpose, kudos to you. For those of you who aren’t, keep trying don’t give it up, on the verge of break thru is usually the most painful point.

Remember the race is not for the swift, but for those that can endure!

One Love

An Intimate moment with Rese – I am human

Hey peeps
Been a while, I have been quite busy with everything and nothing .

So there I was on friday ecstatic, my weekend of flying solo had just began….. I figured I would have a blast and just reconnect with the old me. This could be dangerous .

I kicked it off with a movie, then headed to a networking event, and topped it off by surprising my dear friend at a carnival event. Music blaring, people busy chatting, no dancing….hmmm strange concept. My friend who had accompanied me also couldn’t grapple this new phenomenon…Nevertheless, we tried to make the best of our evening. The night ended, a bit of a disappointment as we both had the intention that we would have been dancing up a storm.  Heading to my car we were hustled by a man selling money palms, who said he would give us for free but then once we took the palms, he showed us tubes under his shirt, being the sucker that I am I of course gave him some money and prayed to GOD the palm trees were really money palms (belief kills and it cures).

I arrived home safely or the place that appears to be where I live but it seemed lifeless. I rolled into the bed thinking I have it all to myself…never mind you I used pillows in place of where hubby should be.

Slept nicely and was awoken at the crack of dawn by my Trainer. I went to boot camp, felt great and came home and just walked around in the nude , yes…I did…it felt great!

I took a nap, and then made a nice pot of 3 beans stew which I am yet to consume. I had made plans to go to a shindig with my girlfriend, but at some point throughout the even I got cold feet and ended up staying in. I started to reflect and realized that I was exactly where I needed to be.

Sometimes we get caught up in what we think our lives should be without slowing down the pace to just be in the moment. When was the last time you spent some time by yourself to reflect? To give thanks and to recognise you are exactly where you have chosen to be?

Sitting here alone made me realise there is beauty in spending time with oneself, but there is also beauty in having company. There is absolute joy in having my daughter singing at the top of her voice, even when I think my ear drums will give out.  There is beauty in having my toilet seat left up, as there is someone to talk to, and to ask kindly to place it in the perfect state, which down for you men out there .

As you go through your day, look beyond that which you see, and accept that there is indeed joy & beauty waiting to be discovered in the simplicity of life.

So tonight I  give thanks for solace and for the not so quiet moments. I see the beauty in both and appreciate the different stages in life.

Stay in your moment and bask in it. If it’s not the desired moment, create the one and stay in it.

Love, Laughter and Light
I continue to Live Healthy, mind.body.spirit.

Thoughts become things! Aha

Greetings!

Do you catch yourself worrying? Constantly negating good thoughts with bad ones. It’s quite similar to the what if’s….however this goes way deeper. So check this out!

There I was feeling great about the grounds I had been able to cover. So far the impact has been amazing, in the number of lives I have been able to impact positively.

I was so nervous at what I had done that I started to think: The office will not be ready in time, it will not look the way I want  it to look, will they appreciate this business…..

The more I thought about it the more FEAR gripped my insides. I know these FEARS were ugly and really unfounded. Nevertheless, it was like I couldn’t stop myself. Then I paused and thought am I attracting my thoughts?

In “The Secret” it says that we attract what we think? Are you telling me I have attracted all the bad stuff that’s happened over the years? What does this mean? Okay I can live with attracting my wonderful extended family, my hussie and princess marleigh, but I cannot accept my car accident, or that crazy woman who tried to hustle my friend and I some time back .

I started to retrace the good, bad and the ugly. I started to revisit each instance and saw there was in fact a pattern.

OMG…I really did focus my thoughts and energy on some of these things or all for that matter. My mantra use to be expect the worse but get the best. Oddly enough I thought this was a great way to not be disappointed. The funny thing is I would still feel disappointed when it did not go how I wished.

I decided I needed some answers and went to read The SECRET which a friend had given me as a gift. As I comb through the pages I saw and learnt some powerful lessons which I would like to share with you:

Excerpts:

• The Great Secret of Life is the laws of attraction
• The Law of attraction says like attracts like so when you think a thought, you are also attracting like thoughts
• Thought are magnetic, they have a frequency
• As you think the thoughts they are sent out into the universe and they magnetically attract all like things that are on the same frequency
• Your currents thoughts become your future life
• What you think about the most or focus on will appear as your life.
• If you want to change your life, change your thoughts
• Your thoughts become THINGS

I found all this difficult to swallow, you may too, take some time to think on it carefully.
Could it be that easy to wish good health, love, abundance and prosperity?  All we have to do is tune into the right frequency?

I can attest to manifesting a life of abundance, peace and Joy but I can also attest to turmoil as well.

For most of us this information isn’t new, however for some reason we haven’t been using it. Why?

Our Challenge:

Monitor our thoughts, see how many negative ones you allow to take root, notice how they manifest. Inject positivity and see how they also manifest. Now if all we have to do is think good thoughts how hard can it be .

Sky is the limit guys, anything that you can possible imagine….will happen with your thoughts, just be careful what you wish for .

We are days away from launching My Living Healthy…a place where you can get healthy, in mind-body and spirit. I look forward to working with you. Please share this with a friend.

Don’t forget to become a FAN on FACEBOOK, Twitter @mylivinghealthy, and stayed tune for the new website courtesy of Time Machine: www.mylivinghealthy.com.

Your comments are welcomed, please generate some discussions.

Stay blessed, think on only good things.

setting intentions and manifesting them

How many times have you set an intention, and persons have dissuaded you or told you that it will not work?

My story goes like this: So there I was in our local National Insurance Office to get my records updated on my new business venture. I was very pleased as a puss in a boot .

I patiently waited until it was my turn, I was gruffly told by the man at the counter: Do annada copy (my patois spelling is not so great). I said excuse me sir? Maam do annada (another) copy. I said okay.

I was then thrown to another woman who began to prod, so what exactly you doing, should I put it as Consultancy? I proceeded to explain hoping that it would make it clearer. She then asked me once again how to categorize. I gave in and just agreed to her suggestion.

I was then told to go to another section to complete the transaction, which took 30 minutes longer because I didn’t put both business names (btw I didn’t know I had 2). Sufficing to say the 2o something young lady (hair dishelved and looking like she was ready for a party) flashed her beautiful pearly whites, indicating the man said its not right. I said would you like me to speak with your supervisor? she then said yes.

I spoke to him, cleared up the misunderstanding, which litterally required me to write two words on the paper (which could’ve been done by anyone), and I was done…oh did i mention I had to do a photo copy at some point which was another long story (that could be a whole blog).

I left the office and proceeded to the tax office where my nightmare started. My good sistren had decided to accompany me, GOD bless her.

Upon arriving at the Tax Administration Department, I went to information boothe, the lady there was quite responsive and accurate. We sat, waited for #99 to be called by a very matter of fact looking security guard.

Once my number was called I proceeded to a young lady ….who from the looks of things was new and also had no clue how to do her job. I gave her all my documents confidently, she checked them over then said: “whey yu NIS paper deh”, I said I do not have that but I do have the number here, on a payslip.

Ma’aam we caan use dat, yu haffi go there and get it.

I calmly explained that I had been there did what I had to and that the number is accurate. I asked for her supervisor, she pointed me to a tall dark and not so handsome dude. I again spoke confidently, explained my situation and of course expected him to say that it was fine. He proceeded to tell me the RULES. Even though the rule made no sense. He was also keen to tell me he is the MANAGER in charge. I guess it didn’t help that  I was a lowly tax payer who just happen to be trying to ensure the Govt is paid their taxes by doing the right thing.
His suggestion was that I go back to NIS to get the slip with the same number I knew by heart.

A colleague of his, an older lady took the payslip and paper and came back and told me the same thing. He also told me there is no way I could get through.

Now in my mind I set the intention from in the morning that I would not leave without completing everything on that day so I couldn’t believe this was happening. I had also told my friend that nothing could upset me and how calm I was taking things these day as the universe will always support you. Now clearly the universe was testing whether my heart was connecting to my mouth.

I told the MANAGER that I was not leaving until I had completed my transaction, so I needed to speak to someone above him. The older lady who was still there, went in search of the Collecterate General…he happend to be passing and we were all invited into his office. I stated my case and was told to wait outside, at which point he laid into the MANAGER. Would you believe the MANAGER came up with a brilliant idea to call the NIS office to verify my number???hmmm wonder why he didn’t think of that before.

He was alot nicer and was even addressing me as Mrs. Young. There’s lots more to the story but the key lesson here is when you set an intention, you are in charge of seeing it through. Upon exiting the office of the Colletorate, I was asked by a young man if I were a lawyer .

There are miracles but GOD has given us loads of power to manifest that which we desire. I clearly stated in a calm voice I wasn’t leaving and what I was there to do. Had I not been persistent I would be there at this very moment.

I completed and did the impossible in one day. What is your mountain? What intentions have you set and others have told you it cannot be done?

I would love to hear from you. Continue to live healthy, mind body and spirit!
