I will surrender -- I won't give up! This was a real eye opener. Sometimes we decide to give up when things get complicated, but this is a good reminder to keep on keeping on. I just had a routine physical and other than some pretty stiff neck/shoulder muscles, I'm doing great. However, my blood pressure is suddenly very low and as I am monitoring this week, it is still there. My 'old self' thinks it is good that it is low and not high but the more I research, the more I realize that neither one is good. So...along with that report and these tips warning us about 'what's out there', I decided to slow down and learn the details about some of the things I think of as safe and to celebrate the ways I am taking control of my health, including my emotions, and appreciating the education I'm getting through The LIFT and how it it provides-in-the-moment knowledge-based available information. Sure . . . I've done some things wrong but the point for me is to keep on finding more right things to do -- and generally, my body tells me. If I just slow down in the produce area of a store, I begin to get hungry for crispy, crunchy veggies rather than soggy donuts or quick-fix cookies. Slow down . . . consider my options (health or non-health) and keep going forward. Thanks for valuable tips -- I learn from you every week -- and I witness it working for you and your family -- thank you!
You are so right about the value of slowing down. If we just slow down a bit, we give ourselves space to listen to our bodies & make our decisions more consciously. Always a good thing.
O.K. I will work on drinking more water. I will not eat Kale (because I really don't like it)!
Solid plan! And thankfully there are all kinds of greens besides kale to enjoy 😍
