A Halloween Treat (recipe)

in holiday, Love Yourself Naked, Naked Nutrition, Recipes, Renee's BLOG on 10/31/14

Happy Halloween Everyone!

IMG_9395As we have gotten to know each other, you might have heard me chat with you about how crazy addicted to sugar I used to be. Halloween was always one of my favorites!! Not only fun to dress up but a great excuse to eat as much candy as I could possible eat with no guilt…

Well, no guilt until the next day came and I felt really yucky.  I want you to know that depriving yourself never works and I encourage you to allow yourself to taste the goods today and do it mindfully. Allow yourself to slow down and savor.

I want to share 3 important ideas about “handling your sweets” not only for today but as we move forward and enjoy the holidays.

Also, one of the reasons I can be so mindful is because I’ve become really picky and I’ve created healthier boundaries with what I put into my body.

I know that if I have too much sugar my face breaks out, my hormones go crazy, I turn into a cranky-pants, I get kind of down in the dumps, my sinuses act up, my digestion gets all weird, I get migraines that last for days, my teeth hurt and mostly… I crave more and more and more. Once I have a little… I need lots. That’s just how sugar works.

So knowing that these are the repercussions of eating too much, I make smarter choices.

By the way, that’s my son at 4 years old, SuperManny.

 

He is my superhero!

 

 

 

Okay, so here are the 3 ideas about handling sweets plus I have a recipe below for you.

1) Deprivation will never work. 

If you tell yourself you cannot have something, you will want to eat it even more. Saying you “cannot eat it” triggers scarcity and the entire day of Halloween is appealing because it’s based on this trigger of scarcity. It makes us feel we can only eat candy today or around this time of year.

Here is what works. Tell yourself you can have anything you want to. You are an adult and you can make your own decisions. Then be really empowered about the choices you make. Be empowered to say No to lots and empowered to say Yes to the favorites you have and then savor them. Taste them. Appreciate them. If you are going to put it in your body, make sure it’s worth it and you remember it.

2) Eat really well today.  

Add in a ton of goodness. Specifically:  Healthy fats, lots of veggies, quality protein and tons of water.  Be ahead of the game so if you want to indulge, you are doing it from a place that feels healthy to you.

Listen, if you skip meals or you don’t eat well… your blood sugar will drop and you will then want to eat anything and everything in sight. This is how we become ravenous.  You are crazy if you think that a little extra motivation or willpower is going to help you at this point because we are not dealing with the science of your brain and body.  Your behavior is controlled by the scientific fact that you’ve passed the point of hunger and you need to get in calories and you won’t care as much about what that is.

3) Create healthy fun treats.

Make a treat or meal today that is super fun that gives you that sweet treat that you are craving. Then you won’t feel like you are missing out on anything because you’ve created what you want. Also, remember… you can have treats as many days as you want to this year… don’t fall into that scarcity trigger trap that tells you that you have to eat it today.

Here is a recipe I’m going to make today:

Pumpkin Pie Pudding

1 cup of cooked pumpkin

1 cup of almond or coconut milk

1 banana

1.5 tablespoons of raw honey

2 tsp of pumpkin pie spice blend

a pinch of ginger

Blend together

Good morning ☀️ Good morning ☀️
When I look back on my life and consider the relat When I look back on my life and consider the relationships I attracted back then (that happened to be the most toxic or trauma bonded) it was for two big reasons.

1) unconscious seeking for security in things/people/sources outside of me.

Old Belief: “Once I have this, I will be safe. I will feel secure, everything will be okay”

Our security and safety come mostly from within. Certainly, more money or the next “magic pill” or quick fix or relationship can inspire some security, for a while...

It will not last or it will feel like a toxic relationship for as long as we are not Sourced in security and grounded within ourself. 

Note: we often need to look at the “bully’s, emotional abusive or passive aggressive relationships to see this. 
This could be with others or with yourself! Yes, you can “bully” yourself.

2) using things outside of me to cope due to dysregulated nervous system. (This is often not conscious to us at first)

Old belief: “once I have this it will help me “feel better”

These coping mechanisms work for a short while, until they do not anymore. 

(Food, the next “diet or workout plan”, the next shopping spree or purchase, drugs, alcohol, work, relationship, pharmaceuticals, etc)

We won’t be able to hold these things with any balance with a nervous system and emotional system that is dysregulated. 

Your nervous system is a complex network of neurons...
Basically, it’s the control center of your body!

All of your muscles, glands, sensations, smells, hearing, taste, touch, higher self are telling your body what to do.

Your nervous system is interpreting your body’s responses constantly.

We use things outside of us to try and regulate when we feel “out of balance” and sometimes those things just don’t serve us.

The crazy thing is: we will think the solution is in this “thing we need to have ASAP” and the solution we seek actually has nothing to do with “the thing”.

We’ve been taught the wrong way. 
Answers to things rarely come from outside of us.

Many of us were not taught about our nervous system and how it’s impacted by childhood trauma and how it’s the core reason we create a lot of the situations we are in (good or bad).
👇🏽👇🏽
Fantastic question....? Because big profits do no Fantastic question....?

Because big profits do not historically come from healthy people (when it comes to selling the anecdotes to their pain, anyway)

Because healthy people aren’t as easy to manipulate.

Because individuals with strong immune systems need less pharmaceuticals. This impacts Big Pharma’s profits and entire way of business.

Because mandating (I actually don’t like that word, but it works here) ... mandating vitamins and minerals would empower health and individual choice to choose health for one self.  Large corporations selling big pharmaceuticals, large amounts of sugar, fast food and factory and processed foods do not want empowered people because they are harder to sell to.
And big government structures that are run by unethical people can manipulate people who are vitamin deficient, because they get sicker more quickly.
What if your desire to get the lasting results you What if your desire to get the lasting results you’ve always wanted with your life (food, body, relationships, financial) was not about giving more attention to these things? 

What if your attention to the boring nothingness of life began to outweigh the attention you give to all the things you want right now?

Sounds silly, right?! 
Maybe backwards from what we've been taught culturally. 

We were taught to break free from life-long patterns of discontent by consuming information outside of us: learning, doing, pushing, striving.

And yet, it's not working so well, right?  At least not long-term. 

There is a place for education outside of us, yes, however, it doesn't do much for a nervous system that cannot hold the complexity of how we want to grow and evolve within that education and new wisdom.

People are trying to learn to "be still" and calm down their anxiety and maybe even meditate but their bodies cannot hold it yet. 
They struggle! 

So when your physical body and nervous system regulates...
 
Your whole game is changed as you learn to be with yourself. 
To be in your body, with your emotions and nervous system differently than you ever have before. 

Then your system can hold the capacity for the change you have always wanted. 

Make sense?

Love,
Renee

(I know, I’m posting a day late)

After taking a purposeful and committed 2 years off of dating and romantic relationships, I opened myself up to dating last year (a 2020 version of it, 😉 ). 

During that time, a friend reached out to me and asked if he could give my phone number to a single friend of his.
I said yes. 
After a while, it felt strange to date others, so I stopped. 

Now, 7 months later and I don’t want to hide now 😉 

Meet Matt. ❤️ We are extremely compatible in all the ways and have so much fun together. Our purposes feel aligned and so does our relationship. So now you know ✨
