Eating Healthy portions……
that seems to BE a biggie.
We tend to take a lot more than we need [our eyes are bigger than our tummies] and keep eating way past what our bodies require……satiation…NOT fullness.
Sooooo how DO we assist ourselves?
Of course, take SMALLER portions.
Sounds easy enough…..but let’s face it, if it was that easy for everyone all the time, there would be no obesity problems, to begin with….
Okay soooo what we can DO to make taking those smaller portions easier IS:
*use smaller kitchenware – dishes, cutlery, serving utensils….
*take smaller bites – yup, ya heard me…..put less in your mouth with each bite and……..
*take your time with those bites…..chew, chew, chew, savour the flavour, taste what you are eating, enJOY your meal….
*********BE CONSCIOUS when you are eating don’t watch t.v. and mindlessly stuff yourself….BE AWARE*
*and then……..WAIT…….Patience***
BEfore taking any more portions to your intial portion serving, adding any additional helpings or sides, WAIT 10 minutes and see how you feel…..see if you are really still hungry or just eating unconsciously…….BEfore taking anything more.
***Another useFull tip, during the day when it is not ‘meal time’ and you are feeling hungry, before running to the pantry to stuff your belly, DRINK…….take a drink of water, veggie juice, coconut water, herbal tea, etc…..and then again, WAIT and see if you are really hungry.
A lot of times we are actually thirsty when we feel hungry…..soooo start with the liquids, wait and see and move from there into solids. ;D

Should I say this or that?
Should I do this or that?
Confusion…….
A lot of our ‘worries’ in life are more about what decision we “Should” make with respect to any situation as much as they are about the situation itself.
If I do this then……..but, but, but if I do that then…….
HOW do we KNOW which IS the best decision to make when there are an INFINITE number of decisions we can make….an INFINITE number of ways to perceive, receive and respond to any and ALL situations?
How do we KNOW which IS an ACT [decision] based in LOVE and which in fear?
Ya gotsta journey through your potential choices and ask yourself what IS MOTIVATING the potentiality of any said choice…….and ya gotsta ALLOW yourSELF to honestly journey through, seeing, receiving, acKNOWledging….and ALLways coming from a BEingness of Divine LOVE.
If a decision is motivated by what others may think, what others may have said, as opposed to what FEELS GOOD for YOU……..it is a decision motivated by fear.
If a decision has you feeling anxious, uneasy, uncomfortable, or dreadfull, it is a decision motivated by fear.
Yes, I hear you, sometimes, some decisions we make have us feeling uncomfortable because they are ‘out of our comfort zone’, they are pushing us beyond what we know and into the unknown and are in fact very good for us.
This is NOT the discomfort or uneasiness I speak to.
I am not talking about an EXCITING, butterfly in your tummy anxiousness when I speak to that which I aforementioned.
There IS a difference between feelings of uneasiness because you have never done something before and feelings of uneasiness because you don’t think you are doing the ‘right’ thing.
The feeling is known only to you with respect to each specific situation you encounter.
You can feel it in the pit of your tummy, the back of your throat, the resonating focus on your third eye and the embrace of your heart’s love.
If a decision is motivatd by what FEELS GOOD to you, for you and for the BEnefit of ALL involved…..what FEELS ‘right’ withIN your heart………constructive instead of destructive [even though sometimes to be constructive may require some ‘renovation’…..], peaceFull, calm, accepting…..it IS motivated by Unconditional LOVE. 😀
Again, of course, there are times that decisions motivated by unconditional love DO require ‘renovating’, and it may appear that deconstruction is taking place when in fact it is anything but. This CAN BE confusing if only looking at the surface……
Look BEyond, look withIN.
Calm yourself, get into a relaxed state of BEing so that you may objectively reflect upon the situation at hand or more apropos so that you may release ALL thoughts pertaining to the situation at hand and ALLOW your SELF to FEEL what IS best….to objectively from a detached perspective eliminate your egoic drives and ALLOW that which feels best for self and all concerned to come to YOU instead of YOU going chasing after it.
When we allow ourselves enough distance from any situation, when we choose to SLOW DOWN to allow ourselves to get in touch with our feelings BEfore running to make a decision, [generally out of fear and thus usually a destructive and hurtfull one] we give ourselves the opportunity to KNOW what IS TRUEly the best avenue for self and ALL concerned….even if that avenue includes ‘renovations’.
Sometimes ya gotta tear something down to rebuild it stronger and better than ever it was BEfore or could have BEen.
Again, this is something only you can know within your heart of Unconditional LOVE, but KNOW it you shall, and until you DO, do NOT take any ACTion.***
Patience IS key to good decision making. 😉
Blissings unto ONE and ALL for a life that IS in ALL~ways ONE of LOVE Consciousness experienced, expressed, shared, lived, and LOVEd.***

Morals, Ethics, Values….these are ALL individual perceptions which……..mostly learned through socialization……[from our parents, friends, communities, country, etc…] ….guide our emotions.……and thus our responses – sometimes reactions to others.
These can BE about really BIG things like the death sentence for example [which for the record…..ya guessed it….I am NOT a supporter of] to really small things like leaving the toilet seat cover up or down.
Okay sooooo, let’s try something fabYOUlous for today…..
Let’s set aside our morals, ethics, and values at least in so far as they relate to the ‘smaller stuff’ and most especially with those in our intimate circles and CHOOSE NOT to react in any way [uless that way is a response of LOVE] to the ACTions of others as we may deem them to BE “not up to our moral or ethical standards”.
Let’s CHOOSE for today to NOT respond to our negative emotions as they relate to justice – again to make it easier, keep it on the smaller scale things and with those in our intimate circle, and instead CHOOSE to give them- our loved ones the BEnefit of the doubt [ie: they forgot, didn’t consciously mean to…..] as well as being open to allow [not agree…] for their alternate perspectives to our own, and maintain our grace in LOVE.
In other words….NO Nit Pick’n today okay?
Let things slide.
Lemme KNOW how it goes for ya. 😀

EnJOY the following first person posting by Serge Bielanko which was originally posted on:
Babble.com | Love + Sex – Tue, 9 Oct, 2012 5:48 PM EDT
Please keep in mind though Serge speaks to marriages, the following DOes apply to any relationships wherein a conscious commitment to pARTicipate therein exists. Obviously, there are certain ranges of emotions that may BE interplayed, for example, you may not be “in love” with your boss or your job but at one time, you did “like” or “respect” either or both.
Once again, enJOY*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I have been married eight years next week. That’s not too shabby, really. Especially when you consider that in all of that time I have only really been “officially” kicked out of the house for one stretch, and that was only for like ten days. And eight-years-minus-ten-days still puts me in the “successful marriage” camp the last time I bothered to check out the definitions and all. Still, I’m no expert. But then again, who is, right?
The truth is, those of us who are married are mostly shape-shifters, perpetually changing at warp speed, always two steps behind on a lot of important stuff, but usually out in front for a thing or two, as well.
Marriage is madness.
Not in some kind of dysfunctional traumatic way, so to speak, but more in that it is a long and often grinding road that maintains that we keep on keeping on or just get the hell out of the way. Even marriages that have suffered somehow and are “on a break” are never really on a break. Once you hit the gas, say “I do,” and aim that thing toward the setting sun, there really is no pause button.
And that can make things tough sometimes. And “interesting” the rest of the time.
Anyways, not being an expert and all, I decided that right now, the best thing I could maybe offer other married people, or people who are fixing to get married, wouldn’t be a book or anything like that. Instead, I’m just going to go ahead and write down my own list of things to remember when marriage gets tough. Some of it you might already realize. Hell, some of it you might have invented on your own! But still, there’s bound to be a few things that come in handy. Maybe it’ll make you smile or keep you from saying something you’ll later regret.
1. You were in love once. That’s why you got married, dummy. So you’re probably still in love. Remember that.
2. Money is more important than some things in a marriage and less important than others. You pick which ones.
3. No one else is married to you. It’s just him or her. That says A LOT.
4. Romance is nice. Patience is nicer.
5. Some marriages are perfect. Yours is not one of them. Deal with it.
6. When questioning your marriage, you should be questioning a lot of other things first.
7. No one cares more about your marriage more than you two.
8. Living with the person you love can suck sometimes. Put your grown-up pants on.
9. Long periods of confusion mean you’re not saying enough.
10. Remember that exact moment when you both just knew it was the real deal. Well, guess what? It’s still happening.

When upset over the actions of another, ask SELF why it matters so much to you that you are willing to allow self to get upset in the first place.
Often times when we get upset over a situation, it’s NOT about the situation itSELF but the feelings conjured in the situation that are reflective of a past experience.
Instead of reacting to the emotional feelings about a current situation, reflect upon them first, use them to assist you to heal their reason for being in the first place, and then RESPOND.
BLISSedly BE,
