How To Get Your Body Ready For Spring

in Health Tips, Love Yourself, Love Yourself Naked, Naked Nutrition, Renee's BLOG, sensual hippie, Winning Sugar on 03/31/14

2014-03-26_23-55-54(1)

Have you felt yourself wanting to take more action on your health, your body or your soul growth but you just haven’t stepped up in the way you want to?  It’s like that irritated and hungry bear coming out of hibernation… his joints are stiff, he’s hungry, sluggish and a little reluctant to take action.

Today I am going to share with you some tips to nourish your body and soul going into spring so you can feel that bright glow and energy that this season stands for and most importantly do it with grace, comfort and smiles.

The dominance of darkness is part of winter. We hibernate more and it’s completely natural to allow yourself to dig in to your feelings more, stay in your house, crave and eat more fatty foods. That darkness and cold weather sometimes mirrors these dark and cold emotions that pop up within us.  As the cold is wrapping up, give yourself permission to go at your pace and to follow the pace of the season as it changes.

Too often we resist the pace of our body and the season and we end up fighting against the natural rhythm. When this happens, you’ll find that you’ll be under more stress and that makes you much more likely to store fat in your cells.

In the winter, most things die and then with spring, life springs forth from that death. For you it is the same. For me, something always dies inside me during the winter and I’ve learned to embrace this and let that old pattern go that no longer serves me.

Now that spring is here, you get a chance to begin again with intense passion. Those buds that spring up from the ground this time of year or the birds that break into song despite the lower temperatures step forth regardless of how tough it is.

In Ayurveda, there are dosha’s and we tend to have excess of the kapha dosha in the winter and it’s time shed this. Kapha can make us bloated, tired, depressed, sleepy, heavier, sluggish or bring up phlegm and sinus stuff.

Take these actions today.

1) Eat lighter foods and more fermented foods right now. You must rev up your digestion and detox your body.

2) Step forward and do it anyway.  Sometimes we think that we must “feel like going to work out” but in my experience that doesn’t always happen.  I go anyway and mostly I don’t feel like it at first. So I step forward with action and then the good feelings follow later.

3) Breathing.  Most of us breathe wrong and if you knew the benefits, it would be your biggest focus. Meditation and good breathing is imperative right now. More on this in a future blog.

4) Water. I drink so much water, I almost float away sometimes and it’s key to everything working great. Be a little obsessive with your water drinking right now.

5) Clutter holds you back and you must make space for you. Look around you. What you see is a reflection of your life.

Most importantly, step into this all with ease and a goal to follow the rythm of YOU and this season. Don’t make the above actions another “to-do” that you may never get to. The key to spring is to play with the rhythm of life.

Love,
Renee

It doesn’t matter who you are, all humans are gr It doesn’t matter who you are, all humans are growing in their capacity with emotional health right now. 

How are you feeling right now? 

👉🏽(Share briefly below and honor the realness of what you feel in this moment)

🤙🏽 We will either continue to distract from the feels or we will honor they exist and transmute the energy of those strong feelings into something we can take action on.

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
