Inspiring And Never Retiring- Poem


Choosing to inspire,

We never want to retire,

Lives to save and protect,

On the past we must reflect,

We take steps forward a learn from mistakes,

In life there aren’t any retakes,

The people we meet,

The ones we greet,

Stand tall on your feet,

Listen and watch your life is a movie- take your seat,

Love and be proud of the person you have become,

Unlock the door to your dreams - you are welcome , 

Every year,

We must wipe the tears and choose to cheer,

Life is tough,

The road is rough, 

We are at our best,

So forget the rest,

We are stronger than we ever believed we were and could be,

Set your soul free, 

Focus on the positives and the light,

Be the star that shines so bright,

People gravitate towards your kind heart,

You are your own cheerleader for your team that everyone wants to be a part,

Open your mind,

The treasure you can find,

Dark days do bring rain,

We suffer through a lot of pain,

From our struggles we have so much to gain,

So go out and dance in the rain,

The world is full of people making a change for a better,

Be a go-getter,

Life is a gift,

So don’t just drift,

Leave footprints in the Earth’s core, 

You have the world to explore, 

I am so lucky and blessed,

To be right here I wouldn’t have guessed,

My life went off road for a while,

I have chosen to smile,

Inspired by my strength and pain,

I’ve realised from my darkness I have so much to gain,

I have so much more to give, 

To fate we must forgive,

Turn the darkness into light,

Keeping dreams and goals in sight,

Empowering and inspiring people all around,

Keep your feet on the ground,

If you give your best that is all that can be asked,

With many hardships you have been tasked,

The strength you show,

More than you know,

Helps to inspire and empower,

In kindness always chose to shower,

You are rocking life and adding your own mark,

One bright and beautiful spark,

Choosing to inspire,

Never wishing or wanting to retire.

COOKING TIPS

#1
Feeling sluggish and rubbish when you have woken up? Get boosting up on bananas the more the better - they will help settle your stomach, boosting digestion, they are a mood enhancer, they will give you the energy you need and keep you full. Buy my book for banana receipe ideas.
 
#2
Wake up every morning and ATLEAST have one glass of lemon water before doing anything else! Ideally try to drink a litre of water. The lemon wakes up your digestive system ready for the day and has great cleansing properties.
 
#3
Check your dairy and meat intake - dairy can sit in your system for up to seven days unable to digest properly. Meaning other foods also get neglected and nurtients aren't absorbed properly and you feel extremely bloated. Go and smell your food bin, your stomach will be in that state. Rotting foods in your belly - hmm nice.
 
#4
DO NOT FEAR CARBS - THEY ARE NOT THE ENEMY! CARB UP!!
Bananas, Rice, Potatoes, Leafy Greens, Corn, Beans, Lentils etc PACK THEM IN GO MAD.
 
#5
NEVER COUNT CALORIES - NEVER RESTRICT!! These restriction 'starvation' diets who tell you to only eat 500 calories a day then have a treat day - where you binge out and eat WAY too much, is simply messing up your metabolism and on your binge days yours body stores all the fat meaning you gain weight because it knows it is going to go back into starvation mode and needs to hold onto every little thing it can. HELLO WEIGHT GAIN. 

Life is too short not to live it to the full, making yourself happy.
