STOP. DOING. ALL. THE. THINGS. and listen to the whispers of your heart. You were wonderfully and fearfully made, unique and beautiful.
The mantra "self-care is the first step in any relationship" is only HALF right. Why would you "care"? If I asked most of my women friends if they love themselves, I assume most would say No, but they all seem to care about themselves. Almost like a first boyfriend that's not ready for marriage, we don't want to commit.
The real Step 1 in self-care, etc. is to get in the right mind-frame.
- Assess your state of being, physically. Touch is the easiest way to ground yourself and get centered. Both feet on the floor. Become aware of temperature, movement of the surrounding air, clothes on your skin, hair on your head and arms.
- Breathe, even in and out (4 in and 4 out, for example), brings balance and clarity.
- Feel the steady pulse of your heartbeat Take this time to correct posture to allow for the best alignment and blood flow.
- Pay attention to sounds around you while keeping awareness of skin and breath.
- Lastly, take a mouthful of water and hold it for 20-30 seconds.
Now that you are mostly present in your body, listen to what it needs.
Are you tired? Is the tiredness physical or mental? Are you in pain? Hungry? Thirsty? Hot/cold?
What can you do NOW to correct anything that is off? Drink water, stretch, grab a blanket, take a nap.
Next, why are you taking the time to do this? Why do you care? What are your goals for yourself?
Who is counting on you? Who could you help or support if you were able?
Having a purpose and goals keeps the focus on moving forward and positively rewards your brain even before anything is accomplished. This ends up encouraging you to continue to make more goals. Try it!
Day-to-day habits (including self-talk, affirmations, etc.) can significantly improve or destroy our health. You know that true self-care is an everyday activity, not a special occasion. True health is mental and physical well-being. If you are "all-or-nothing", stick with a daily affirmation book, Bible study, 30-minute exercise routine, and whole-foods, plant-based diet. If you can deviate from routine without being completely derailed or sliding back into bad habits, aim for 80/20 and enjoy a splurge now and then without guilt. 80% healthy foods and habits, and 20% splurges.
Did you realize that people with positive psychological health have a lower risk of physical illness? What you think and say to and about yourself matters. It matters.
Instead of getting your nails done, shopping 'til you drop, or taking a bath twice a day, or drinking too much wine, getting present and having goals to move forward is the cheapest, quickest way to reset your body and brain for a healthy long life journey.
Make a goal. Simplify the goal into 3-5 actions. Get to it. Ev Ree Day. Love, you! Love you!
Man-made EMF or electromagnetic field is creating electro-pollution which is associated with health problems such as cancer, Alzheimer's, ALS, autism, ADD/ADHD symptoms, sleep disturbances, and more.
We are electrical beings with our own frequencies. The 7.8 Hz frequency of the Earth allows us to balance our electrons. Electrons play a central role in biology and health. But when man created all the technology, it is like a wild hurricane of electricity compared to the Earth’s mild breeze.
The World Health Organization International Agency for Research on Cancer classified this created radiofrequency radiation as a probable carcinogen in 2013. It’s labeled a Group 2 Carcinogen. And it’s invisible and all around us. “All cells communicate with each other via subtle electromagnetic signals and biochemical reactions”, and the mechanisms that allow digestion and brain activities to work are the rearrangement of charged particles. Continuous exposure to manmade EMR disruptors and disrupts normal cellular function and leads to disease! (IVC Journal)
“Andrew McAfee, a former music professor at UNC-Chapel Hill and one-time principal horn for the N.C. Symphony Orchestra for 15 years says proximity to cellphone towers, WiFi signals, and wireless utility meters causes a burning sensation on his skin, gives him the sweats, and makes him agitated. ‘The removal of Duke's opt-out fees stops that added insult to injury for many who suffer debilitating electrosensitivity conditions and their associated health costs,’ McAfee said. ‘Most importantly, the NCUC order recognizes our medical doctor's proper role in determining what is healthy, not the FCC.”
“‘More than a dozen individuals, including a physician, stated that they have personally experienced debilitating health impacts from the cumulative impact of RF emissions,’ the Utilities Commission said in its ruling. ‘A few went so far as to assert that RF emissions from smart meters contribute to violence and homicides.’” (Government Technology article)

The commission received a statement from the director of the Institute for Health and the Environment at the University of Albany in New York, co-signed by four other scientists and doctors. The letter said the greatest risk of radio frequency wave exposure is cancer, but symptoms include memory loss and fatigue.

What you can do:
- Use headphones with wires instead of putting your phone to your head or using Bluetooth.
- Keep your phone on airplane mode as much as possible.
- Choose a healthy diet and lifestyle with supplements like Ginko Biloba and essential oils.
- Keep 10 feet away from devices, especially when sleeping.
- Don’t keep your phone on your person (like in your pocket or bra) and -easy button- use one of these stickers.
- Use EMF blocking devices or pendants - see links below. Smart Meter EMF BLOCKER *
- Use grounding or earthing mats and tech - see the following information:
Grounding / Earthing
“Earthing restores and maintains the human body’s most natural electrical state, which in turn promotes optimum health and functionality in daily life. The earth is endowed with ‘electric nutrition,’ a virtually limitless supply of mobile electrons that gives the ground we walk on (as well as our lakes and oceans) a natural negative electric charge. When you make direct contact with this negative electric charge you are grounding.”
The process of grounding, also called earthing, is a physical change, a therapeutic technique that involves doing activities that “ground” or electrically reconnect you to the earth.
The influx of electrons gives a powerful boost to the body’s antioxidant and anti-inflammatory defenses. They rapidly neutralize free radical molecules that create chronic inflammation, arresting the destructive action on healthy tissues, and leading to a reduction of pain.
“Medical thermal imaging has shown decreased inflammation in minutes after people are grounded. It restores and stabilizes the bioelectrical circuitry that governs our physiology and organs by recharging and thinning our blood, enhancing immune function, and powerfully and quickly knocking down inflammation and pain.
Because we no longer sleep on the ground or walk barefoot everywhere we go, we have disconnected ourselves from this major, and very necessary, source of healing. Grounding restores an essential electric connection that we've lost and that we need to keep inflammation at bay.
Grounding is accessible to everyone. It's as simple as walking or sitting barefoot outdoors. If outside is impossible and/or you need more time grounded each day (which most people do!), using indoor Earthing® products to connect to the earth while you sleep, relax, or work is critical.” (earthing.com)
“Earthing connects us to Nature and Nature is the ultimate source of health and healing."—JOHN GRAY, PH.D
