Do or Diet

What are your first impressions when you hear the word, "diet?"  Do you cringe a little (I do) or think, yeah, I need one of those!  I like the acronym Shawn Mynar shared above (I'm a fan of wordplay in most forms).  Shawn Mynar is trained and experienced (and has her own personal experience) in helping women heal utilizing a customize-able, fat-fueling approach.  In my opinion, it's like Keto for Queens.  Through her program, many have come to find themselves better able to determine intuitively what the body needs without the hassles.  Her recipes are simple and elegant, her demeanor is sensitive and humble, and her approach is specifically targeted to women.

My friend and fellow writer has a website that takes a wild spin on the DIETside of this.  I don't know why I hadn't linked to her blog until now - distractions - but it's high time now.  The insights this kindred spirit offers result from decades of study, reading, trial & error.  Do yourself a favor and visit her page.  Don't let the intro scare ya - "sometimes it's really dark," but you have enough light to make your way to the other side (whatever that side is).  One thing you'll find her quite fond of are these "savor spoons."  There's a link on her page featuring them, and there's one in my purse at all times!

How else might we treat this four-letter word?  Here's my own acronym off the top of my head, and I'll add the rest of my friend's domain (www.DIETside.com) name as a bonus:

Delete old programming that no longer helps you.
Install new ways of dealing with feelings.
Engage with your world intentionally
Treat each moment as a new opportunity.
Seek others whose belief is congruent with yours.
Innovate strategies that work for you (write your own script).
Decide to embrace the miraculous mess you are
Enthusiastically nourish yourself in all ways.

That doesn't seem so dark to me.  Go visit the page and let me know how greatly you are amazed!

Jotting with Johnna

Do you sense that dietary dogma has kept you from living fully?  Are you aware that you can indeed find peace with yourself and with the food-fond-culture in which we live?  How might you re-define the concept of "diet" (no acronym required) to make it part of your own Wellness Script?

Remember:  you are so very worthy of a more positive definition of diet - which is simply the foods you eat and beverages you drink.  You have the power over that four-letter-word; but it's going to take some doing to make that shifted mindset stay.

Stay tuned.  Stay focused.  Stay well.
