So I made a list of things I think are good for me:
eating an abundance of organic veggies with soybeans and some wholegrains, taking my Bach Flower essences and herbs and vits, doing qigong, yoga or other forms of moderate exercising daily, meditating, starting my day with a soy-protein shake with agave, reading inspiring quotes from The Vortex to feed my mind, listening to uplifting music, having fun, taking long baths, eating slowly and savoring each bite, asking others to watch my son so I can have some time all by myself or hanging with my Sister Goddesses, laughing daily and being silly, sleeping 9-10 hours a day, watching uplifting true story movies, dancing spontaneously as well as doing Nia and BellyFusion classes, journaling and using my BlissScripts and Byron Katie's inquiry process to shift my thoughts to ones that feel better, making time/space for self-pleasuring and orgasms, drinking herbal teas and natural sodas sweetened with stevia, going with the flow of life, getting regular massages, having reiki attunements and acupuncture support, spending 20 min. in the sun
The things I think are bad for me:
arguing & fighting with my family, over-exerting myself in masculine exercise & type-A activities, white foods (flour, pasta, sugar, rice) as staples, additives and preservatives and pesticides (oh my!) , talking with people who complain or criticize a lot, watching the evening news, seeing movies or shows about murder/crime/war/horror, doing things just to get them done or solely out of obligation, soaking up too much chlorine,taking too many synthetic meds or antibiotics, getting sunburned, smoking anything, drinking alcohol or coffee, using any drugs that kill off my sweet brain cells, being stressed about anything, and constant activity (all Yang and no Yin).
Yesterday, I was invited to go chant at an ashram in NYC with some sweet Sister Goddesses, but the voice within me screamed "TOO YANG! You need YIN right now" and I imagined myself resting in a hammock. I txted my husband t work about wanting a hammock...and as soon as he got home he rushed around to 5 different stores and came back successful! I believed that I needed some quiet, still "Yin time" and so I spent 4 hours just listening to the wind in the tree above me and the sounds of crickets and birds and frogs as the symphony of dusk began, and it was sooooo good for me!
What do you believe is good for you?
What do you believe is bad for you?
What are you choosing today?
