Keeping Mindful Awareness Present in Food Choices: Buyer Beware!

So, this morning after my yoga session I went to grab a bowl of cereal. My eyes scanned the pantry and saw the sweet temptation of the kid cereal laden with sugar, or so I thought.  I saw my Special K and decided to stick to my guns, but something made me pause.  I gazed at the side panel and began to peruse the ingredient list and a little disappointed in the amount of protein: 2 grams. It was the same as Captain Crunch! And then I looked further at the three cereal choices I had and the shock continued...
The Special K has a list on the front of the box (right corner hidden in picture) and it lists folic acid as a highlight.  Well, the so-called healthy cereal has 35%, Captain Crunch 100% and Mini Wheats 50%! I usually look at a few key areas: sugar, vitamins, fiber, protein and sometimes calories.

I can't believe I was duped! Darn you Special K!  I even eat that cereal because it reminds me of a dear friend, one of my special au pairs from Chile, Fernanda.
I know these are not organic and I strive to eat healthy, but I don't go overboard.  I am a pescetarian (I eat only fish, no other meat) and I do eat dairy, one of my favorite foods.  Well, cheese, that is.  I tried once to give it up and it lasted a day. I do not struggle with weight so I fear if I did give it up I would whither away.
Anyhow, the facts are out!  They have always been there just waiting for me to read them. Blatant. Good thing I use my certified pure therapeutic grade doTERRA essential oils for overall wellness!  I strengthen my immune system on a regular basis, detox and purify my home, life, studio, laundry and more!

Boost Your Mood Naturally

How, you ask? With these simple things listed below that we make so difficult or lose focus on because of our daily distractions. Life can through us curve balls , but with present moment awareness and a deeper respect for self and others (Yamas and Niyamas) we can cultivate a richer garden that yields beauty, love and peace!
During this season of change, let's ignite the natural fire that burns within us (Manipura chakra/energy center) and enjoy a blessed life.

1. Get a good nights sleep. Easier said than done, I know, but don't worry about the little things!
2. Make sunshine a part of your day. (It may appear to be hiding , but keep looking!)
3. Exercise regularly. Try yoga!
4. Introduce healthier food options. (Try a meatless Monday!)
5. Do something nice for someone; it feels so good!
6. Use essential oils daily; I love doTERRA!
7. Give positive thinking a try!
8. Find a quiet place and meditate; just close your eyes and breathe...
9. Achieve a goal, big or small. (Hint: make a list and cross off items when completed!)
10. Express gratitude daily. Imagine only having today what you were grateful for yesterday.
