Reserve Judgment

2/2/2015

Reserving judgement is hard for us humans to do. Every time I see someone, or watch an activity, I immediately make an assumption, have an opinion, or judge them. Why do I do this? Perhaps it is the way humans are designed! We can make a judgement quickly so the species can survive. More often than I like to admit, though, I put my foot in my mouth, say the wrong thing, and then have to backtrack, apologize, etc.

I think we have to actively practice reserving judgment. Get more information about a person's journey before making a judgment about who they are. We all live in our little bubbles in our heads and hearts. We see the world through rose colored glasses, so to speak. We filter things out that we do not want to see or hear.

How about you? Dig deep and think back about those moments where you were completely wrong about a person or situation. Were you able to rectify the issue? Was it difficult to do? How do you feel about the person or event now? Did it make you squirm to say you were wrong or misinformed? I want to hear from you! Please share my blogs, videos, and book with those you love. We can grow as a tribe!

Organic vs Non-Organic Foods

Sometimes we just cannot afford organic produce and meats. I get it, I totally do. I am a server in a restaurant relying on the generous tips to provide for my family's needs.

When we are making changes from processed, refined foods to a more natural and healthy eating protocol, keep in mind that the best quality food that you can afford is what counts. You do not have to give up your goals if you cannot buy butter that is raw, organic, and $18.99 for a tub. It is far healthier to buy veggies, fruits, meats, and seafood within your budget, than the former Standard American Diet.

So, we can let go of the guilt that we cannot afford all organic all the time. There are many farmers who grow organic and sell at farmers markets, but they cannot afford the organic stamp on their products. Ask around the next time you go to a farmers market.

Make small steps. Perhaps the focus for your shopping will be non-GMO foods. When we stop buying packaged, processed, refined foods, we may find ourselves with more money to buy some things organic. After all, when cereal is $5.00 or more a box, and it lasts less than a week, we can see how processed food costs can add up very quickly, even if we buy in bulk.

Swap out unhealthy oils for one healthy oil. For example, stop buying peanut oil, canola oil, soy oil, corn oil, regular butter, etc. Then replace those with one super food, like coconut oil. Coconut oil has medium chain triglycerides for fuel (and fat burning!), can handle high heat, mixes well with vinegar for dressings, and is very inexpensive, even at the raw, organic level. That's one oil replacing many, therefore saving you money in the long run.

Sit down for a minute and list five types of foods that you want to swap out. Research local grocery stores, food co-ops, and the internet for cheaper, but healthier alternatives. Believe me, if I can do this on a server's salary, then anyone can do this!

Write to me! Tell me one thing that you did to shift into a more healthy lifestyle, and how long it has been assisting you on your journey.

Blessings,
KJ Landis
