A Path to Self Discovery
WELCOME TO “NOODLE SOUP FOR YOUR SOUL”
WE ALL HAVE A STORY….
THIS IS MINE
I was a nurse for a very long time. I became quite ill a few years ago and didn’t understand what was happening to me. I had short term memory loss, brain fog, belly pain, weight gain and exhaustion. I got up in the morning like I hadn’t slept and suffered from chronic fatigue which I discovered was actually adrenal fatigue. I decided to address the health issues in a holistic, more natural way. The symptoms I experienced were the result of decades of not caring for myself. I was crashing and didn’t know what to do… I kept thinking: “I don’t want to end up in a nursing home like my mother with dementia.”
I had to do something, but what? I decided to take a small step toward change and transferred from unit nursing to a pre-op surgical unit with better work hours. I changed my diet: I cut out sugar, drank a lot more water and focused on consuming fruits, veggies and lean meats. Eventually, I decreased dairy and cut out gluten. The change resulted in an amazing improvement in my health over the next four months.
CREATING CHANGE AND EXPLORING THE SELF
(NOT SELFISH, IT ENRICHES YOUR LIFE)
The regular work schedule allowed me to explore yoga and Thai Chi, that was offered at the workplace after hours. These classes decreased stress right away. Emptying my mind into a restful state calmed down my monkey brain over time. Another issue was lactose intolerant for many years after delivering my second child, a battle scar to my immunity. I know some of you moms can relate, right? Now I had new symptoms. After doing research on gluten intolerance, I almost fell off my chair! I had almost every symptom! I did a gluten free diet trial for 2 weeks. I couldn’t believe the improvement! Over several months I lost 20 pounds and saw my waistline shrink, like it was 10 years ago. Then I decided to explore spirituality. Enough with the guilt already! I wanted to feel good and be connected to the Divine, my co-pilot in life. The only way you can truly love others is to love yourself without condition. Most Humans don’t get this concept. I was one of them! It takes time but the journey is so worth it!
MINDSET: HOW DO I START FOCUSING ON MYSELF TO FEEL BETTER
Understand you are not broken! Good and bad thoughts have influenced your life experience.
Creating with a Higher Power brings joy, happiness and abundance if you work at it. I realized I had deep rooted fear that crippled my joy and life experience. I decided to see a Reiki healer to get to the “root” of my fear, (no pun intended, for those who know the chakras, lol). She explained to me the body has 7 energy centers called chakras which are energy wheels of the body. They are present in every individual soul and connected to a Higher Power.
Everything on this earth and in the cosmos is Energy, she said. I had never thought about that! I was too wrapped up in my fear. Well this intrigued me and I started to study spirituality and healing modalities. The flood gates of my mind were slowly opening up and the “onion layers” of false beliefs started to shed. I was allowing the Light in (by the way every soul has access to this Life Truth). Meditation practice opens up this Light and our intuition. What is intuition? It’s our inner voice, our connection to Source/God/Inner Self that helps us grow and better ourselves and the world. It takes time to trust it. Learning to appreciate the silence allows us to hear the loving guidance. So I am sharing my story with you so we can learn and share together, to improve our lives with joy and ultimately become One with the Greater Good of Divine Humanity. The awakening has begun, dear friends. Let’s encourage each other to find the Divine Light within and to grow in LOVE and let go of what doesn’t serve your greater good.
