Is there anyone who tried the exercise from part 2?
It was very powerful for me.
To start with, it gave me back the CONTROL.
Because the biggest mistake, and a trap is to believe that REASONS of what we feel are OUTSIDE of us. That it is always SOMEONE ELSE to blame/or thank for what we feel.
But it is US who CHOOSE the reaction. The THOUGHT and the FEELING that follows.
It is very interesting to OBSERVE.
As for me, it made me question most of my emotional reactions to things that happen to me. To words that I hear.

It is not always easy to deal with this gift :)
Responsibility can be heavy to carry.
But MOST of the times it gives you FREEDOM of choice.
Choice NOT TO REACT emotionally. Keep calm.
Suddenly there is noone who is AGAINST you. Not even you yourself.

Loads of Love and a blessed Saturday to All.

When I change the way of looking at things I will also SEE them differently.
When I slow down I see the beauty of small things.
The quality of life changes.
The BIG PICTURE is important, so that I know which way to NAVIGATE, but it is those small things that make a difference on a daily basis.

Today, in a one million residents' city I met this little creature :)
Such a lovely reward for paying attention. Make the walking your exercise in mindfullness, not only transportation from A to B.
And have a lovely 'slow down' weekend.

Love to All.

It is amazong what our excited brain is capable of.
Like waking up before the alarm goes off after 3 hours of sleep.
Be well.
Love to All.

I survived day one after detox.

New (old) foods should be introduced slowly.

I started with an egg for breakfast and bolognese sauce with just a half glass of wine for dinner :)

Well done I think :)

 

I write despite this unhuman hour because tomorow I will be travelling. Yay!

 

My treats on the last day of detox were DATE BALLS, confused with chocolate balls by several Swedes and with “chestnuts” by one Pole. Funny, because the only common ingredient in both cases were the coconut flakes ;) Anyhow KICK ASS delicious, and raw! Confirmed by my Dear Husband who LOVES chocolate.

 

So, how is it done?

Soak a handful of cashew nuts and a handful of almonds

Chop about 10 dates

 

Add few raspberries

Tea spoon coconut oil

Tea spoon of hemp protein

 

And mix the whole thing together with a blender, not more than 10 seconds

Add sesame and pumpkin seeds (you can also save some chopped almonds and add them now if you want some crunch) after blending and roll into smaaaaall balls.

 

Roll them in coconut flakes and ENJOY!


Fresh like a Summer breeze!


Love and Calm Night to All.

Link to Part 1.
So maybe you don't really believe what I'm saying.
That if we FEEL bad we probably THINK bad and can CHANGE it by thinking differently.

If you let me, I will guide you through a very simple experiment. It will not take more than 2 minutes.
(Read through the whole instruction please before you start :)

Close your eyes for a moment and try to remember the last time you met someone really dear to you. Try to think about the whole situation: what you did, where you were, picture all this to yourself in your mind, and above all, try to remember how it made you feel.
Can you remember the feeling?
Try to stay with that feeling and this dear person for few seconds in your mind.
Then stop thinking of this person.
Is the feeling gone too?

Even if it is gone directly, you have just made yourself happy (or sad? or mad? or...?) only with the help of your own thoughts.

I told you that!

Love to All.

To begin a new day being vibrant and alive.

To look at the world and believe that ANYTHING is possible.

That there is no reason why GOOD THINGS should not happen to me, you, all of us, TODAY.

All these are just a THOUGHT away from us!

***

We are what we eat.

We eat what we are.

And we BECOME what we THINK.

Because THOUGHTS control our feelings.

(I MEAN IT!!!)

Will you agree with me, that each feeling begins with a thought?


When your friend doesn't call on your birthday, you get sad. But it doesn't happen automatically, your brain produces a thought first: This is my big day and he/she forgot. Don't I mean anything for him/her...?"


It so happens that those thoughts we often CHOOSE to think are those which serve us WORST, not BEST.

Because then we can PITY ourselves.

I know, I've been there   


But imagine being able to take CONTROL of our thought.

Not like literally each and every of those 80.000 thoughts we have each day (TRUE!) but at least those which drag us down and make us feel sorry for ourselves.


I now challenge you with these words:

 

“Don’t always believe what you think!” (A reminder on my fridge!)


Believe instead that you can CHOOSE how you FEEL by CHOOSING right THOUGHTS.

Would that change the quality of your life? Would that have an impact on every single day you and I have left on this Planet?


I believe so and I am a living example that it is possible to change the course of our thought. As soon as we become AWARE of them.


I wish you that. And Love to All.

Today I am one step away from facing a new stage of my recovery.

Post DETOX life and questions like: How to REMAIN clean? How not to fall back into bad habits? How not to WASTE all this job and effort I made those last 21 days?

My Clean guru, Dr. A. Junger says so wisely: “See what resonates with you, try things out, keep an open mind and a sense of humor, and above all, view your life as a fantastic journey where some of the biggest toxins you’ll encounter are actually the STRESS and WORRY created from trying to live too ‘perfectly’.”

Ta-da! Can you put it any better? So I say to myself today: “Kasia, relax, cheer up, it will be brilliant! Why shouldn’t it be?” …”As long as you avoid PERFECT!”

The notion of “perfect” is a huge thorn in my eye. I will touch on this subject later. (Sure I will!!!)

***

Now when you have seen my naughty mushroom noodles in the previous post, so delicious and still so DETOX-friendly, I thought I might as well show you few of my other KICS ASS dishes (do you notice how I slowly try to make you try this CLEAN stuff??? )


Chicken breast covered with sesame seeds fried in garlic oil served with cauliflower and parsnips (Pasternak/korzen pietruszki/palsternaka) pure (instead of mushed potatoes!) and raw, green salad (sugar snaps, avocado and fresh parsley):

 


Vegetable and chicken stir fry with soya sauce (forbidden during detox but I am a rebel!!) garlic and ginger. I also used a very cool product: seaweed noodles (“kluski” z wodorostow, sjögräsnudlar). Let me know if you want to learn more about them:

     


Raw salad with E.V.olive oil seasoned with fresh garlic, lemon zest, rosé pepper and apple cider vinegar. I also added quinoa, pumpkin and sesame seeds. This one actually looks better than it tasted ;)

        


The last one, a super tasty sallad made of raw letuce, cucumber and carrots and also stir fried garbanzo (cieciorka/kikärtor) and green and yellow beans which I “blanched” in a slightly sour dressing and mixed with the rest of ingredients. Covered with sesame and flax (siemie lniane/linfrön) seeds. Mmmmm:

     


I hope that my pictures made you hungry and soooo interested in CLEAN food.

As for me, I am exhausted   


Love, Rest and Clean Food to All.

I might be a food freak.

How otherwise to explain the fact that a pan filled with golden fried mushrooms makes me excited?


Let me show you how I turned an ordinary lunch into a 50 Shades of Grey experience.

After all it is my last DETOX lunch, for this time :)


1. Boil a portion of buckwheat noodles (makaron gryczany/bovetenudlar):


2. Fry some mushrooms, onion and garlic golden brown in a pan (I used coconut oil). Season with salt, black pepper and parsley (pietruszka/persilja).

 



3. Toss the noodles into the pan and mix. I topped this dish with raw veg. sallad fresh basilica and a generous splash of E.V olive oil directly on the plate.

 

Othervise it looked a bit... GREY   


Love and taste to All. There is more to come.

Embracing the NOW, Zebra-style.
