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!

OMG!!! They're GMO!!!

Genetically modified foods are all over the place! What to look out for in the stores is so important. Knowledge is power.

1. Soy-Up to 90% of soybeans in the market have been genetically modified to be naturally resistant to an herbicide called, Round Up. This increased resistance to the herbicide allows farmers to use more Round Up to kill weeds. However, this results not only in a genetically modified food product, but also a food product loaded with more chemicals. The long term effects are not yet known.

2. Corn-Half of the US farms growing corn to sell are growing GMO corn. Most of this corn is going to be used for human consumption. Genetically modified corn has been linked to health problems, including weight gain and organ disruption. Even if the farm grows organic corn, nearby farms growing GMO corn can cross pollinate in the air and create the organic corn fields to become GMO without any knowledge of the organic farmer.

3. Canola oil-Canola oil is derived from rapeseed oil. It is considered one of the most chemically altered oils sold in the US. Canola oil was originated in Canada. Canada+oil=canola.

4. Cotton-Even cotton has been genetically modified to increase yield and resistance to disease. Most concern relates to the cotton oil. Cotton originating from India, and China, in particular, is considered higher risk for personal health. There are less regulations concerning GMO in those countries.

5. Milk-One fifth of the dairy cows in the United States have been given growth hormones to help them grow faster and increase their yield. These hormones can be found in some of the milk produced by these cows. These growth hormones have been shown to act inside the human body. We become larger more easily because the hormones made to make the cows bigger.

6. Sugar-Genetically modified sugar beets were introduced to the US market in 2009. These sugar beets are modified to resist Roundup, like corn.

7. Zucchini-Genetically modified zucchini contains a toxic protein that helps make it more resistant to insects. This introduced insecticide, has recently been found in human blood, including that of pregnant women and fetuses. This indicates that some of the insecticide is making its way into our bodies rather than being broken down and excreted. Long term effects have not been concluded yet.

8. Yellow squash-Yellow squash has also been modified with the toxic proteins to make it insect resistant. This plant is very similar to zucchini, and both have also been modified to resist viruses.

9. Papaya-Genetically modified papaya trees have been grown in Hawaii since 1999. These Papayas are sold in the United States and Canada for human consumption. These papayas have been modified to be naturally resistant to Papaya Ringspot virus, and also to delay the maturity of the fruit. Delaying maturity gives suppliers more time to ship the fruit to supermarkets. It also makes them have a higher sugar content, spiking our sugar levels when ingested.

These are some of the most prevalent GMO foods found in the supermarket. There are many others currently for sale and being grown for the market. GMO safety is not yet certain, so if you want to stay away from it always keep an eye out for a label that indicates food is organic or non-GMO.

You are welcome here! Some folks are not ready to make a drastic change all at once, so I have developed slower, smaller shifts in the dietary behavior that one makes with 100% commitment.

The plan for you is week by week. If this is still too fast, then change week 1 to month one, etc. Add the next week's shift to the one already in place. By the end of the program, you will feel great and look great, so that you may have more energy to do more and serve humanity more. It really is a win-win situation.

I suggest:

Week 1, increase water to a gallon a day.
Week 2, give up all wheat products and still drink a gallon of water a day. Week 3, give up all grains and still drink a gallon of water a day.
Week 4, reduce fruits to 1-2 times a day, always keeping previous changes.
Week 5, reduce fruits to 1-2 servings a week.
Week 6, change your oils to only healthy fats I mentioned in Superior Self with KJ Landis posts.
Week 7, no more added sugar, in any form: no honey or agave or date sugar, etc. Buy Lakanto or XYLA on amazon or Whole Foods.
Week 8, purchase raw dairy and pastured eggs if you regularly consume them.
Week 9, give up beans and legumes.
Week 10, write to me and share your experience! I know you can do this.

In all of the weeks (or months), pay particular attention to how you feel rather than how you look. Sometimes flu and cold symptoms, headaches, and general fatigue may plague you. You may suffer acne or a rash for a little while. These are symptoms of the body detoxifying as it gets used to the cleaner fuel you are providing it with. Fear not, and keep moving forward with the process. Moving toward superior health can spur us on to our true superior self. Just think about how clear, attentive, helpful, and generous we can be to others we love when we have taken care of our own essential biochemical needs.

Practice, practice, practice. Eventually your eating choices and preparation of meals will shift to a healthier format and it will become easier. For me, it has not yet become entirely easy. It requires becoming present and conscious at each meal. remember that you do not have to feel alone. Surround yourself with like minded individuals. Seek out thought provoking materials to stimulate your journey and spark continued interest in your superior self.

Feeling Fancy

Feeling Fancy--- so many people ask me each day, "How are you?" I often answer with, "I'm feeling fancy!" To me, feeling fancy means not holding back my most loving, most elegant, most celebratory self. It is putting on my Sunday Best, but, from the Inside Out. We have the opportunity each day to put on our best attitude along with our best clothes.

I remember when my closest childhood friend, Marcie had breast, bone, and brain cancer, she would still get up each morning, light a candle, put a gorgeous wig on, and meticulously apply her makeup. She looked amazing even though she was ill. I visited her during chemotherapy and asked why she got all dolled up to go to chemotherapy. She replied, "Rituals are important to me. It is what I have always done. I feel great when I look great and vice versa. I'm feeling fancy and healing myself.

I encourage and prod you gently and assuredly to put on your Sunday Best, from your Inside Out. What are you waiting for?

Blessings,
KJ Landis
