Fasting to enter into a state of ketosis. You can take ketones through salts or shots, which will kick up apoptosis (killing of old bad mutated cells). Also helps with hunger and food cravings. Bone broth is good but make sure you get essential amino acids as well because bone broth doesn’t have all the aminos as far as I understand. Aminos really help quell hunger pangs as well. Also, digestive enzymes would be a great addition to help you absorb the cells that need to die. Blessings on your journey. 🙏🙏🙏

This surprising sky has almost everything. First, slanting down from the upper left and far in the distance is the central band of our Milky Way Galaxy. More modestly, slanting down from the upper right and high in Earth's atmosphere is a bright meteor. The dim band of light across the central diagonal is zodiacal light: sunlight reflected from dust in the inner Solar System. The green glow on the far right is aurora high in Earth's atmosphere. The bright zigzagging bright line near the bottom is just a light that was held by the scene-planning astrophotographer. This "almost everything" sky was captured over rocks on Castle Hill, New Zealand late last month. The featured finished frame is a combination of 10 exposures all taken with the same camera and from the same location. But what about the astrophotographer himself? He's pictured too -- can you find him?

Generosity is an anti-depressant.

Depressed people were randomly assigned to give less than a penny a day to charity. Over the next 2 months, moods improved and depression declined. The more they gave, the better they felt.

Even small acts of kindness elevate mental health.

There is no end to your ego,

[Brandon Pendergraft @BrandonPMFT]

If you are willing to hurt yourself, what is the likelihood that you will hurt me? If you are willing to disrespect yourself, what is the likelihood that you are willing to disrespect me? Find people who love and respect themselves!

People say couples therapy is expensive but have you seen how much it costs in legal fees to get a divorce.? Ask your spouse if you want to invest in your marriage or make sure your lawyers children will attend a nice college! 🤝📜 #MarriageMath #TherapyOverDivorce #SaveTheMoney"

Signs that your ego is running you: 1) you can’t say ‘I don’t know’ even when you know you don’t, 2) you cant admit that you did something wrong, 3) it is intolerable to even listen to a perspective that differs from your own. Build your resilience. #tameyourego

If you can get your mind heart body and will focused on the same objective, then the obstacles in your path won’t stand a chance. Be unstoppable.

[Brandon Pendergraft @BrandonPMFT]

It is so easy to focus on your problems, and when you do you forget all the things that are going right. Don’t become your problems. You are more than your problems.

[Brandon Pendergraft @BrandonPMFT]

You can only change what you can change. Rest assured it is more than you think. You don’t know your upper limit. Put some intention into it and see how you grow.

[Brandon Pendergraft @BrandonPMFT]

Isn’t it interesting how we can be so aware of who we were, have a good understanding of what we want to become, and yet find it so hard to define who we are in the present. That’s why we need other people who can speak into our lives and let us in on who we are. #bettertogether

[Brandon Pendergraft @BrandonPMFT]

Interesting how it takes so little effort to inflate your ego, and such vulnerability and courage to deflate your ego. Humble yourself. #tameyourego

Practice the parasympathetic response ( rest and digest mode) or get out of the sympathetic (fight or flight mode). Breathe out longer than you breathe in. It lets your body know there is no danger. It increases CO2 and lets your body release the oxygen stored in your cells.

It is our constant belief that the world should operate the way we believe it should operate, that leaves us so disappointed and frustrated about the way life is unfolding. #WisdomWednesday #Surrender #LetItBe

First you ground the emotions that are radiating from the wound and then you release or #surrender the #emotions in the wound or what is hiding beneath the outer layers of your conscious awareness. #CatharticEmotionalRelease #MondayMotivation #Wisdom #PeaceAndLove
