20 minutes of doing something is more valuable than 20 hours of thinking about doing something. MOVE

You're right. Christianity brainwashed me.

I want to spend the rest of my life with one person, pray for those who hate me, forgive easily, raise a beautiful family, stay away from gossip, and find peace in Jesus.

60 interventions that powerfully lower inflammation (foods, lifestyle, supps, devices/modalities), a cheat sheet 📝:

Foods:
• Orange juice
• Coffee with honey/sug
• Raw carrots

Sweetie you’re spiking mommy’s cortisol and making me less beautiful

The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases — Lamentations 3:22

Breakfast is the best meal of the day when you do it right. Ditch the cereal. Get freshly baked sourdough. Eggs. Raw butter. Cheese. Raw wildflower honey. Citrus to wash it all down. Cappuccino. Fruit. Pure, raw optimism in the air. How blessed are we to experience breakfast.

It is normal for your wants and needs to be met
It is normal for people to take you into consideration before making decisions
It is normal for you to feel safe with the right people
People take the time to earn your trust and commitment
You never rush into anything and allow yourself the time to genuinely get to know someone
The moment you see something hurtful, you acknowledge it and adjust
You never fear upholding boundaries or asserting yourself
It is normal for you to be heard, seen and respected
You are willing to walk away out of self respect knowing others find it attractive
You never allow emotional manipulation or mind games to convince you to settle
Seeing through deception is the easiest thing for you to do
Remaining grounded in your discernment is the easiest thing to do
You effortlessly break negative patterns and cycles in your life without guilt
Attracting and maintaining healthy connections is normal for you
Building connections that are faithful, loyal and committed is normal for you
Maintaining mutual respect in your dynamics is your only option

I now fully understand the confidence of a woman in a loving relationship.

It’s like you’re untouchable. Haters? Problems? Chaos? You’re above it all. You move through the world unfazed, like your system has ascended.

You literally couldn’t faze me if you tried.

Love is synonymous with perfect thyroid function. Ray Peat talks about this

It is a sign of good health to want to love one person for the rest of your life, actually.

[your positive corner @dolliefae]

My home will be a home with no loud anger, no explosive rage, no slamming doors or breaking glass, no name calling or shaming. My home will be gentle, it will be warm. It will keep my loved ones safe. No fear, no hurt and no worries.

Me: I’m pretty low maintenance.

Also me: Is this water filtered? Is this grass-fed meat? Are these pasture-raised eggs? Are these fruits and vegetables organic? Is this 100% cotton? Does this toothpaste have fluoride? Does this car seat have flame retardants? Do you know what’s in natural flavors?

@myles_cooks They are also glyphosate free 🙌🏻
They make the best pasta! Even gluten free.

@thisisnefertiti Put apple cider vinegar (or any vinegar) and soap in a cup. Fill it up with water so the soap foams but stays on top. They will be attracted to the vinegar smell but will get trapped in the soap. Works every time.

The real luxury is being able to have slow mornings. No alarms. No rushing to go to work. No need to hurry up drinking your coffee. You naturally wake up after 8 hours of sleep, you pray, you take another long warm shower, you lotion your body gently (massaging it, loving it), you put on your silk robe, you make some coffee/tea, you open all the windows, the first rays of the sun kiss you, you drink you coffee/tea in peace while listening to the birds sing, you stretch your back and hips, you journal… And then you’re ready to start your day. That’s what will always make me feel rich

[thatgirl. @chelseanicd]

My biggest goal in life is to live at ease. I want to wake up and go to sleep with the calmest nervous system ever.
