Was I raised to overeat or under eat, Do I need a professional that specialized in food plans, dietitian, psychologist, can I learn about this – yes, You have permission too!

 

8.   As parents we get so busy taking care of others that we neglect our own needs, do you do selfcare for yourself and what does that even mean? Well, before you were parent or married there was just you and your likes and needs. What are you doing to feed your own happiness? Because if you not taking care of you there is major boundaries issues that need work. There is reason on airplane they let the air mask on you first.

9.   What about physical health – are you doing research to heal yourself in other ways, via alternative health or spiritual illness and trying to mentally heal yourself. Like saying I am healing my body vs I am in pain. There lots people writing books, videos and information on healing the pain without drugs or less drugs, by going back to plant medicine, instead using synthetic medicine. If worry too much- figure out why? Because it is wasting available energy and head space by saying “they can’t take care of themselves”. The only one that has the control is you over you. If you’re afraid, face the fear, we all have them.  If you’re afraid of a spider’s why – did someone tell fear them- study them, look up animal totems of them, try new fruits and vegetable, study something that you want to learn. You were not meant to just get job, married, have kids and retire and die. Expand your mind, create something, because what happens on the outside will continue – peace, happiness and joy are inside job.
