#STAYHOME - Poetry

Stay home is our role to play,

Plans on hold as we delay,

2020 upside down,

Ghost town,

The silence through the streets,

Uplifted through podcasts & music beats,

Emotions are a rollercoaster making me sick,

But to the rules & guidance we must stick,

To save lives,

Into the dark the world dives,

No right or wrong all trial & error as the map points in all directions,

Looking in the mirror at our reflections,

Working on us for once with no distractions,

Less transactions,

Material things won't save,

No matter what we crave,

Don't cave,

Create your own house party & rave,

Listen to how your heart beats,

Take a stroll peel yourself off your seats,

Fresh air & sun,

Laugh for fun,

Feed your soul,

The days of isolation take a toll,

Remember the love,

Tat shines on your from above,

Remind yourself of the heroes that fought through our history,

This is us creating our history,

To show strength now,

To inspire future generations to know how,

To face tough times & rise,

To comprise,

Work together for our end goal,

Remind your soul.

Of your strength,

The journey is long in length,

We bounce back stronger,

Even if plans have to be put on hold a little longer,

When the time comes around they will be even better,

During this golden time you became a goal-getter,

Refreshed with inspiration for life & dreams,

However crazy it seems,

This it is golden,

Our time hasn't been stolen,

Our heart still beats,

Virtually we still meet,

I have faith in you,

So should you!

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.
