I have been inspired by the life-regenerator to try raw food. Many raw foodists claim that a diet free from cooked foods will provide optimum health. The major effect of raw food is weight loss, but others have claimed to have serious illnesses cured or put into a state of remission. I’m all about the weight loss, and the beauty factor of the diet. I’ve got to start somewhere, so why not with vanity.
On the spiritual side, I have noticed that the fruit & veg has cleared up some of my mental fog. I am able to notice emotions and thoughts that are just programming (thoughts that are on a mental loop, thoughts that I have without questioning). It’s like I am still affected from negative experiences that happen in the past. These experiences come with actual physical sensations. I can feel my heart quicken, the heat rise through my body, and the anger. So, if I can recall negative experiences, then why can’t I call recall positive. That is the programming. I am programmed to focus on the toxic thoughts (e.g. Life sucks, I never get a chance, etc…). I could write a list of these negative thoughts, but I want to focus on the positive and the blessings in my life, to reprogram my mental wiring.
What I am doing to make this reprogramming happen?
I have renewed my commitment to exercise. Lately, I have been getting a little bit of a happy feeling after working out.
Oh, I am off my point. I wanted to talk about the raw food thing. Yesterday, I started an 8 week experiment with eating raw. Realistically, I cannot be 100% raw because I love to cook, but I want to try 80% raw. So, I told myself that I can have one cooked meal a day, which can be breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
Today as well as yesterday, I started my day with miso soup. Then I went to the gym and walked for 45 minutes on the treadmill. I really need a mellow day today because yesterday, I did yoga and zumba.
Miso Soup recipe (serves 2):
2 teaspoons of white miso paste, 2 cups of water, 1 green onion, 5 mushrooms, 1kale leaf, and ¼ teaspoon of wakeme seaweed.
Soak wakeme in a little bit of water until it expands, Mix miso paste with the rest of the water, add mushrooms and kale bring to almost a boil, turn fire to low cook until kale is tender. Take wakeme out of water and chop into thin threads, and add the water to pot. Turn fire off and add wakeme.
Serve in a bowl garnish with green onions for flavor and for beauty.
