Too many times we can get caught at the short end of the stick! Not enough time, energy, or will to take care of ourselves! When this happens, it’s time to take a step back and give yourself (no one else!!) an honest appraisal! Are YOU loving yourself? Better question (since this one seems to be equivalent to “how are you” “oh great thanks!” Ya right!! ). Better question, are you taking good CARE of yourself? In today’s episode, we look at what that means and what are the warning signs of not loving yourself enough!

The Gift Of Freewill.

Is there a relationship between what we eat and how we feel?  Can food be an addiction?  If so, it isn't like we can just stop eating altogether for ever and ever, right?  If not, then what is it that we CAN do to start the process of change in our lives to get healthy?   In today's episode, we unpack the notion of food affecting how we feel and how we behave and how if we want change within our lives, how do we even get started?  Here are some links below to start your own research!   1.) https://www.quora.com/Is-food-a-drug  2.) https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0091305717300035 Food and drug addictions: Similarities and differences  by Peter J.Rogers 3.) https://www.virtua.org/articles/what-causes-food-addiction-and-what-are-the-signs#:~:text=One%20of%20the%20main%20signs,be%20suffering%20from%20food%20addiction.

How Does What We Eat Affect our Emotions?

The critical voices seem to be everywhere at all times, don't they?  I mean, turn on the TV and the show is portraying how the character doesn't measure up, the commercials are letting us know we are not complete because we don't have the item they are selling and don't get me started on the news!  We shut off the TV and the social media takes its turn.  Then there's the ads within our games and what about family and friends?? Uhg!    Is it all about what's coming at us?  Hmmm...  If so, we'd all become hermits never to talk or see anyone else ever again!  Right?  Much of the very deep seeded critical input isn't necessarily coming from outside sources.  Our own self-talk can be the biggest culprit and the monster that holds us back!   In today's episode, we face this monster head on and gain some tools to loosen up his grip on our success and our dreams coming true!  We are here to fulfill our deep desires given to us by God Himself.  If we don't do it, no one else will!  Let's dive in as we take a look at what holds us back and how to start stepping out regardless of those voices!  Below are some links: Favorite Journal:  https://amzn.to/37IUbBJ Audibles: https://amzn.to/2HAIxhv By clicking the link, you'll get 30 free trial membership and 1 credit towards a FREE book of your choice.  If you get/have Amazon Prime as well, you'll get TWO Free books!  Join now and listen, learn & grow AS you get ready for the day, drive, wash dishes, cook clean, whatever else you do!  Click the link now and try it out! https://amzn.to/3jrhBgV Suggested reads:   The Anomaly Mindset, Sandi Krakowski on Audibles  https://amzn.to/2HAIxhv  Perfectionism:  Top 11 signs that you are a perfectionist  https://personalexcellence.co/blog/perfectionism/ --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/pameladevrousmith/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/pameladevrousmith/support

The Critical Voices!

In todays podcast, we touch on what it means to back up or discount our own desires, needs and wants in order to keep the peace.  Where does this constant backing up come from and how we can start to get ourselves out of it.  Living a life of constantly discounting ourselves to allow others to feel good leads to a self-loathing and victum role instead of loving ourselves AND loving others.  We end up taking a backseat in order to look like a "good girl"  or "nice guy" instead of understanding that the second greatest commandment and applying it to our lives; "love your nightbor AS YOU LOVE YOURSELF!" (emphasis mine!)   Let's take a look at how we can learn to recognize this twisted up behavior and learn to love ourselves SO THAT we can love others as well!   Mentioned within the podcast is the book Boundries by Dr's John Townsend and Henery Cloud.  Be sure to get your Audibles Credit and your Book now!
