Simple Food ~ Sane Life

During one of my many visits to Tatnuck’s Bookseller, a particular book title piqued my interest: All is Forgiven MOVE ON by Janice Taylor. The subtitle of the book had me giggling “Our Lady of Weight Loss’s 101 Fat Burning Steps on Your Journey to Svetlsville.”

Ok, she got me. I was enticed to sit with the book and read a bit of it. Within a few pages, I was captured. Bought the book and read it. I devoured it! Fantastically written, hysterically funny, and very poignant. Genius!

The title of the book serves it up deliciously well. One of my favorite aspects is the Forgivercizes.

Throughout this blog post, I include some of her Forgiversize quotes.

As a Health Counselor, this is one area where clients get really stuck. Stuck in the mucking around. I’ve been stuck in that muck many times myself. Learning that forgiveness is the step before being able to move on. As my dear brother taught me during his recovery process, “Forgiveness is a gift you give to yourself.”

I whole healthfully agree with Janice’s statement that forgiveness can result in a positive shift in one’s health. Releasing excess weight in its many forms

Forgiveness is a key role in breaking the patterns of behavior that no longer serve us. Or no longer work for us. Feminine vs Masculine terminology, respectively.

Forgivercize: The “Tell the Truth and Nothing but the Truth Excusercize.”

Before forgiveness, there needs to be awareness and ownership. A consciousness. Even when we are made aware of a condition, or an impending one, if we are in some phase of denial, and unconsciousness, we do not totally own the situation or our body. A common phase of denial includes blame, reasons, excuses. All part of the process. We are grieving the loss of a reality we allowed for ourselves.

Consciousness & ownership comes when we are honest with ourselves with regards to our role in the situation, and begin to understand the message of the issue that our body is sending us through manifestation.

Forgivercize: Get to Work and Declutter! Toss it out, now!

Forgiving oneself is a substantial piece to our healing process and a healthy life. You cannot change what has happened, so forgive yourself your trespasses! There is a completion once we can forgive and be able then to move on to the next step, removing that old baggage we kept hidden from ourselves, and toss it out. This leaves us with more energy to focus on moving forward, moving on. Healing, living life, enjoying food, and our bodies!

Forgivercize: Behavioral Tweaking Encouraged

Moving on! Have fun exploring new avenues to feel healthy, sexy, vibrant and energetic. You now are entering a life with new healthy patterns. Some of your comfort behaviors only need to be tweaked, not drastically changed. Continue the practices you have created through the evolution of forgiveness and moving on. Take notice of your body every day, at regular intervals. Notice how it looks and feels. Now thank yourself and your body for the greatness, lessons and good health.

Forgivercize: Planting seeds

The area of growth has been chosen, through awareness and ownership; the space for the seed created by forgiveness; the seed of moving on, is now placed where it can grow, nurtured by all we can now give ourselves in health and happiness.

Create as many spaces as you need and keep planting those seeds of Forgiveness!

Your actions can plant the seed of thought for others to activate and exercise in their lives.

Remember: Forgiversizes are exercises that anyone and everyone can do to manifest a healthy life. Go get Taylor’s book for simple food for a sane life!

Peace,
