Sucess Story: The Destructive Thought Diet

If you are not able to see this mail, click here

Dear Wonderful Patients and Friends,

Happy New Year! Here we are, a new year, and I wish a beautiful fresh start for all of us.

The Alchemy of Thoughts
I was thinking about thoughts the other day. How powerful they are; how they mold us and change us. If you think negative thoughts, you will likely have a negative experience. Think about creating a new thing or a new reality, and you'll be doing that!

Thoughts are the alchemy that can save us or doom us. I don't mean to ignore or leave aside things in life and pretend they are not happening. But in the thick of it, we have how we respond to the things we think, the thoughts we let into our personal space.

In this new year, let us think about the things we want to have, the things we know we need to do for ourselves and others, the healthy, joyful things. Let us flow with what life brings and strive to see the positive side and how we can change the flow of our lives to make it more the way we want it, more stable, more healthy, and more balanced.

Being practical about this, let's consider diet. Some of you struggle with changing things you have done for a lifetime. You know it's too hard, and you've failed so many times before.

You've started another diet how many times? Maybe to lose weight and gain it back again plus a bit more. You said you'd exercise, but you just don't get up, or you hang out on the couch with a good book or a great show. You said it was time to get the sugar out, but somehow there is a treat in your hand as you watch tv or read. I know this because I have been there myself. I have done all of these things and been frustrated and unhappy and even mad at myself, the situation I find myself in, and any number of contributing things.

A Truce!
I want to propose a truce!

A truce between yourself and all the self-destructive ideas and thoughts that have won so many times, stealing the joy out of your life.

I would like you to realize that this is your journey, your day, and your year. Many of you have sought my help and have done smashingly, changing and growing and achieving goals. I am so proud of every single one of you who has worked with me and had the courage to make different choices for your health and your future.

We have all been through an actual real-life pandemic. For over two years! Wow! And good on us for being here and making it through despite all the trials this has entailed. On top of the last two years, we still had life; kids, relationships, health problems, sickness, and you name it. We all deserve a month-long sabbatical to the south of France! I hope you get to take one! However, if you don't manage this, I would like to suggest something else.

I want to suggest that you take a minute and think some thoughts about how cool you are, how you work so hard and take care of others, yourself, your family, and the world. The world is made up of so many yous! The yous who do not give up, who cry a good cry and keep on, the yous who love when all the signs say you should not. I see you. I hear you, and I want to tell you that you are enough. I want you to think that thought today. Let's not even think of anything else today. Let's think, "I am enough, more than enough to do to be to have what I want, what I need."

The Destructive Thought Diet
Instead of a food diet this year, let's have a destructive thought diet. Let's resolve to think about those things that build us up, not tear us down. Let's eat the foods that nourish us and if we make a less positive choice, let's make a new, better one tomorrow. Let's move so our body is happy. Let's resolve to minimize the stresses we can and get rid of the ones hurting us. Let us find our strength to believe in ourselves and find and kick out those people or things that don't feed us or heal us.

Let's resolve to love ourselves and do those things that we know are best for us that will give us health, peace, and joy.

Detoxify your Mind and Body
I want to invite you to do a detox of mind and body next month.

I have a very special but simple program planned. It entails fundamental changes that will maximize your wellness and get a jump start on a sustainable lifestyle. Because that is what this is about, sustainability. It isn't about a diet or even losing 15 or 20 pounds. It is about loving yourself enough to do those things that give you energy, joy, and stability.

Some of the foundations of this are: sleep 7-8 hours a night, going to bed before midnight if possible. Eat three meals a day and snacks if you need them. Hydrate every day with enough water to flush out toxins from your cells. Keep your thoughts positive and healthy.

Our physical detox will entail eating fresh fruits and vegetables avoiding alcohol, sugar, gluten, and dairy. Doing these things alone will make you feel pretty amazing.

I will be making available a recipe for a special detox soup and a detox smoothie. The supplements in this detox will encourage the Phase 1 and Phase 2 liver detox and give your cells antioxidants for healing. We will release and remove those food toxins that many of us possibly overdid over the holidays. We will bathe those cells in good nutrition and boost the special antioxidants that neutralize free radicals.

High levels of free radicals damage cells and genetic material. Free radical damage can change the instructions coded in our DNA. It can cause oxidative stress that damages cells and can lead to chronic diseases. We are not defenseless— though the current environment in which we live gives us plenty of challenges. Vitamin C, Vitamin E, glutathione, Co Q10, flavonoids, and many others serve as natural defenses against these free radicals.

Fresh, organic foods provide the best sources of antioxidants in a way our bodies can use them best. That is why we will add these things into our diet in large quantities. Stress, lots of sugar, alcohol and other drugs, environmental pollutants, and medications all add up to a toxic mix that makes our bodies work harder and can damage our fragile cell structure.

So next month, we are going to change that! Look for a separate email in the next few weeks with details.

What are you Grateful For?
In the meantime, I want you to start your day with gratitude. Think of two things every day that you are grateful for before starting your day. I also challenge you to think those thoughts that feed you and do the things that bring more health and more life to you. Let's change the endorphin rush of sugar or alcohol into the rush of feeling real energy coursing through our bodies, real food, real sleep. Let's determine to love ourselves, with all our perceived failings realizing we are pretty dang perfect the way we are. Let's detox body, mind, and spirit.

Within

She understood
that it all began
with her.

The responsibility
the possibility
and the love.

She found delight
and strength
in this
knowing that all she
really needed
came conveniently

from within.

—Jeannette Encinias

Until next time, love yourselves. It is how you will begin the work to drink as you pour.
