Yes, I went on a sweet binge this past weekend. And then I paid the price. Tummy aches and gas ensued but worse was the mental bruising I gave myself for giving in and over doing it. I am not saying I won’t ever have sweets but I know better than to eat sugar every day or in concentrated amounts. And my body was reminding me of what I know. There are many things that I “know better” about. So, why do I ( we) give in?
I’d like to blame it on weakness and outside influences. But it’s just not truth. I am a strong person and have the capacity to make wise decisions. I do however have weak moments and typically they are related to how I am feeling emotionally. So as I take the time to evaluate why I made the choice to sugar binge on the weekend, it makes me face the truth that I am feeling less sweetness in my life…. and taking the easy accessible way to fill that void or to ” taste of sweetness” again. Does this resonate with you? Sadly, You and I both know this solution is temporary and damaging.
I believe ALL of our deficiencies , physical and emotional, are directly related to our emotional and spiritual health and balance. When I find my balance , my connection to truth and light…. things work out better and I make better decisions and judgements. When I deny myself true connection , through ignorance, willfulness or disallowing, this is when I give in to worldly temptations and beliefs. It’s only when I surrender to truth and light that I feel most authentic and have a great capacity to stay balanced mind body and spirit.
There is so much more this understanding can encompass. This is not just about sweets but about life…. living an authentic life. This is just one moment of my journey. And so , I choose to do better today and tomorrow and continue to strengthen my resolve to stay close to truth and light.
Fortunately I have the blessing of using doTERRA Essential oils and products to help move me through these times. I used Terrazyme to support proper digestion and elimination of things that are not good for me. I used Digestzen and Digestzen tabs to provide ease and comfort for my tummy issues . These oils and products help me take responsibility for my body and mind. Not only do they assist in physical healing but emotional healing as well. I Know that it is my privilege and responsibility to be successful and to me that means being strong and capable mind body and spirit. And so I know I must keep working to ” heal thy self” .
