My 21 Day Raw Food Experience

Tomorrow I start my 21 day raw food experience. I'm a bit nervous... well... I'm actually quite nervous. I am addicted to sugar, and to white bread, and cheese, and a few other things that aren't healthy.
I think about food all the time
I've been to Overeaters Anonymous (OA) and it helped me a little, but I still can't wrap my mind around the idea of abstinence for the rest of my life - meaning, not eating any of the things that I crave every second of the day for the rest of my life.
I'm wearing a waist cincer to see if it helps my tummy flatten out a bit.
I've tried eating raw, or raw till 4, or vegetarian, or vegan, so many times.
We'll see if this time I stick with it.

today...

I'm glad that i am healthy, that my kids are healthy too.  I am suffering from allergies, but I think it's related to the fact that I've been eating too much white flour products and dairy (in the form of cheese and some yogurt). I have a strong feeling that if I cut these out of my diet my allergies will disappear.
I'm glad that I got to help Nina with Spanish today. We had our first tutoring session.
Im thanful that we had a great FHE talking about the commandments and that Haylee and Bryce came to join us.
I am glad that I was able to do the dishes, get the kitchen cleaned up, do a lot of laundry and get the clothes sorted out. My kids were awesome and helped me hand up all of their clothes. They are wonderful and  I love them so much - but it is hard to deal with all the whining and the complaining too at times.
I want to pay more attention to Lucas as he is home alone with me.
I know that Father is aware of me. I know He loves me.
I'm thankful that I got to read the BM and listen to a general conference talk.
I'm trying to find a little side job so I can make some extra money from home.
I also want to practice and learn first of all, the aroma touch therapy massage and bless other people with it. I should set a goal to learn it and massage 5 people by the end of October.
I'm so happy that Happy is with our family. He is such a good doggie and he does make me feel loved. He follows me everywhere. He likes to show his affection toward me.
I'm thankful that we have such a nice and comfortable home. I'm thankful that God guided us to this house, I love our neighbors, love our new friends, love our ward, love the park by our house, love our location.
I'm thankful that my children are learning well and fast at school. I'm so thankful that they have wonderful teachers who care and who know what they are doing. So thankful for them.
Today i ate healthy. I'm thankful that I'm learning to respect my body and that little by little I can nourish it and develop my spiritual gifts as my body feels and looks cleaner.
Life is good.
Thank You Heavenly Father.

Introduction

"There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is."
                                                      ~Albert Einstein  

The likelihood of you ever occurring is inconceivably small. Therefore, you are, by definition, a miracle, and we are designed to create miracles.

There is no legitimate reason for ANY human to settle for a life less than what they desire. So how is it, then, that decade after decade the research continues to reflect that 80% of us are far less than satisfied with the life we are living? The only rational conclusion to make from that data is that somehow we have been collectively convinced to believe that what we want is not available to us and that we need to settle for less.

The great news? We are the authorities of our minds and we can rewrite any story – reprogram any belief. We can rewire our brains to SERVE us. With some consistent practice, we can develop the discipline, or Mental Toughness, to do what it takes to create the life of our dreams, and to have an absolute blast doing it.

It’s very encouraging that it has been perpetually true that all research on the subject and all of my observation on human peak performance indicates that having fun is intelligent! The better I feel, the better I AM – at everything. So I have great incentive to invest in becoming an Emotional Warrior. As I master the art of elevating my psychological states, I consistently activate all the learning centers of my brain and, consequently, creating excellence gets progressively easier.

We got into the big party. Life. We scored! We have already pulled off the most improbable event conceivable. Let’s create miracles!

The Top 10 Big Ideas

1. 1

   You’re an Incomprehensible Improbability. Own That.

   If you gave 2 million people a single dice with one TRILLION faces on it – meaning instead of 1-6, the dice all have every number between 1 and 1 trillion on them – and you have everyone roll the dice at the same time, and all 2 million dice came up the same number…that’s the odds of you happening. The brain can’t even get that math. The number of atoms in the known cosmos is about 10 to the 80th power. The odds of you happening? 1 in 10 to the 2.7 millionth power! Get that? Of course you don’t. It’s an incomprehensible number. Let’s just call it zero. Congratulations. You’re kind of a big deal.
   
   
2. 2

   STOP! And Ask the Question

   The first step in creating a miraculous life is to first define what that means to you. Most people will go through their entire lives without sitting down to really reflect upon the question, “How do I most profoundly want to use the rest of my life?”
   
   
3. 3

   Goals are Weak

   A goal is a decision awaiting its upgrade. And you’re the one who will issue the upgrade. A goal leaves the door open for the possibility of failure. Decisions don’t.
   
   
4. 4

   DECLARE IT!

   If you are the least bit reluctant to let the world know what you’ve decided, then you ain’t ALL IN! The more willing I am to declare my dream aloud, to anyone - with the same degree of “as a matter of fact-ness” as I would if I was telling them what time of day it was – the more committed I am AND the more accountable I am. We have to get past the notion that declaring our greatest desires aloud is a bold thing.
   
   
5. 5

   Back That Up!

   You really only need to have 3 things in order to create your dream life. The first is CLARITY – so you can decide. The second is COURAGE – so you can declare. And this is the third thing – DISCIPLINE – to do what it takes.
   
   If any of those three are missing, you got no game.
   
   The DISCIPLINE is the Mental Toughness or Psychological Strength to take sustained masterful action, especially in the face of “adversity” (If you believe in that stuff), so that your dream becomes your reality. We need brain training to get the discipline. We need to fill our Mental Toughness Toolbox so that we are equipped to interpret every circumstance as a golden opportunity to create miracles.
   
   
6. 6

   Become an Emotional Warrior

   Elevate the state – don’t wait. State governs all. Get amazing at being pumped. Nuf said.
   
   
7. 7

   FREE YOUR MIND!

   The practice of Mental Toughness is the practice of freeing yourself from the conditioning of your past that would have you play small. It’s the practice of freeing yourself from the limiting beliefs you’ve picked up along the way, that reside in your mind, and have you suffer needlessly.
   
   
8. 8

   Live Above the “O”, Yo!

   We are perpetually interpreting our reality in one of three ways: debilitating, neutral or inspiring. By upgrading our interpretations of reality, we are living above the “Observation Line”, or the “O-Line.” That’s where the miracles happen.
   
   
9. 9

   ALL IN! Has a Short Shelf Life

   So does everything. We live in a universe that is characterized by impermanence. Everything fades. Including your commitment or your decision. Good news? You can re-decide. Everyday. As if for the first time.
   
   
10. 10

    By the Way, None of This is Necessary. Just Sayin’.

    Needlessness is good. Lightness of being is smart. Creating your life is something we “GET” to do. We are all expressions of Divine Grace in human form. We’re good as we are. Perfect, in fact. So why do any of this? For fun. Let ENTHUSIASM be the driver.
