The path to wellbeing
I'd really like to know what celebrities do after baby. Do they breastfeed? Do they buy other people's breastmilk? Do they hire a wetnurse? Do formula?
It's a curiosity.
Because I know that if you're pregnant, eventually you won't be any more. And your nice, full, firm breasts that look so good...
So.
There's this thing I notice, and it's a big focus on
- getting pregnant
- having a baby
- wanting the perfect car & house & nursery
for the thing you're bringing into the world and into your life and into your Instagram account.
Remember, though: you're adding a person. A family member,...
Imagine you have an opportunity. It's a big, life-changing opportunity. One that will change the course of your career and your personal relationships.
This opportunity will take change on your part, and dedication. Sacrifice and sustained effort.
You want to jump on it.
You want to so bad...
So I was a bit pressed for time the other day and my skin was feeling a little off...the perfect excuse to use combo for some sugar scrub action.
I wanted to use the scrub because - yes, I was in a hurry - but also I was experiencing that eczema-like itch I get when I know I haven't been...
Remember how you wanted to get your workouts in early?
Those days you meant to meditate and just...didn't?
And weren't you eating better the other month?
Isn't THIS the year you're gonna follow through on spending the holidays how YOU want to?
Hmmm...
Maybe you need the parental...
Yours.
Finally.
Keep it and return to it later.
Refer to it again and again.
A manual that's tailored to your exact situation.
Discussion points and prompts ease you into convos with your partner. Your anxiety is eased.
You're on the same page.
Ahhhh.....
It'll make the days following the...
Are you vegan curious?
Want to know what paleo pizza is really like?
Have you ever tried to order only gluten free from a menu?
Menus these days are proud to point out their specialized options.
You don't have to figure out what gluten free covers (exactly). Just try it and see. And...
I ran across an article and followed a link, and suddenly was embedded in this paper - a systematic review of tons of studies relating to the connection between anxiety, food, and probiotics.
Partway down the page is another graphic/link, showing how many times the paper has been...
Next time you're eating
remember to
PRIME
THE
PUMP
Eat your veggies first
your meat/fried food later.
This'll help your digestive system process the heavy stuff and keep you more efficient in the restroom.
Getting fries with that burger? Add a salad and eat that before you start the rest.
Or...
The right side
tempts me.
More expensive
Richer
Heavier
But the left side
holds its own.
Less pressure
Funner
Adventurous
What I can't do is decide.
So I decide vegetarian.
Or...umm...wait.
Pescatarian.
I decide pescatarian for tonight's meal.
Yes.
I look
and the menu
is transformed.
Options discarded
others...
Every once in a while, you get a taste of something
and you know immediately
your life is going to change.
Maybe it's a person you taste.
Or perhaps an alternative milk.
A smoothie, though?
Daily?
Who are you kidding?
But seriously.
Things happen

I was listening to a podcast the other day and someone was talking about how she went through a period in her life when she "wanted SO MUCH to look at more than just the left side of the menu."
