Poetry Sunday


Baggage.

The demon that is pain,

Never a break from the rain,

From what do we gain?

I am going insane,

I am living as much as I can for me,

I have become more than I ever thought I could be,

Thank you fate,

For teaching me not to hate,

I made peace with my health,

I have love and that is wealth,

The days,

I added sparkle to in my own ways,

Learning to appreciate every moment in the now,

Reaching this goal - I don't know how,

I see the world and life in a different way,

Being positive every day,

Seeing beauty over darkness is key,

Follow me,

Your heart will lead,

Everyday your soul you must feed,

You roll in pain,

You can't handle the strain,

You hold your head,

Another day you seem to dread,

You search for the light,

You see it in sight,

The sun rises once more,

Life you want to go out and explore,

Push aside the fears,

Wipe the tears,

The end,

We never know my friend,

Hold my hand and see,

The person you can become to be,

Love me,

See what could be,

Your lies won't affect me,

I am who I have become to be,

My story largely untold,

Maybe one day to you all it may be sold,

The mystery behind the girl,

Who learnt through it all to continue to twirl,

She put a smile on your face,

She handled herself with grace,

You let her go somehow,

Look at her now,

In strength I grew,

I knew,

The fighter deep inside,

Could handle the rollercoaster ride,

Pain makes her cry,

At life she will continue to try.

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.
