There
are many pieces to the
development
program and beginners especially, can be easily overwhelmed. However,
with
a little structure and forethought you can simplify things to make
your plan more “user friendly.”
Developing
your own routines and habits may involve some trial and error, but
having them is a sure way of succeeding. The following might give you
some ideas to try. In the end, it all depends on finding a realistic
framework that you can live with and will adhere to.
MORNING
HOURS ARE GOLDEN
That
was a favorite phrase of my grandmother, but it is very true.
Anything you know you want to accomplish in the day, do it in
the morning before you get distracted or too tired. Do as much
of your program in the morning as possible and you've set yourself up
for a great day and eliminated any excuses for not doing
it.
MULTI-TASKING IS
A GOOD THING
By
using a little creative thinking, you can accomplish quite a bit in a
short amount of time.
For
example, if you set up your sauna so you can lie down, you can do a
coffee enema, vaginal coffee hold (for women) oral coffee hold,
meridian leg rub, foot rub/toe pop, neck pull, deep breathing and
meditation all in the same session. Top it off with a shower
eye massage, genital bath and skin brushing and you’ve covered a
lot of ground in a little time!
THINK
“BIG BATCHES”
If
you are going to make a little, it’s not too much more effort to
make a lot. When you are laying out your supplements, might as
well make a couple days, or even, a week’s worth.
A
convenient way to store the pills are in small plastic zip lock
plastic bags made specifically for this purpose. They are about
two inches by two inches with an airtight zipper seal. Having
some pre-packaged pills makes it very easy to grab some to take if
you are heading out to work or on a trip. With them
conveniently packaged there is never an excuse to skip your
supplements!
Another
way to maximize your efforts is to make coffee ahead of time.
Instead of preparing it daily, make enough to last two days.
Don’t make more than two days worth, however, as it won’t stay
fresh.
PREPARE BY
PRE-MEASURING
It’s
easy to lose track of how much water drink, especially if you are
drinking from various bottles throughout the day. If you
pre-measure your daily dose of water it’s much easier to see wether
you’ve consumed the allotted amount.
The
same goes with your vegetables. It’s easy to either over or
under estimate what 6-9 cups looks like. If you measure them
out and cook a day’s serving early on, there’s no cheating or
short changing yourself. (Remember, that making vegetables more than
a day in advance isn’t recommended.)
QUICK
COOK PROTEIN
Very
thinly sliced meats or ground meat cook quickly and simplify your
meal prep. Ground meat can be stirred into freshly pressure cooked
vegetables and cooked with almost no additional heat. Once
ground turkey or chicken turns opaque, it is ready to go. Remember,
you do not want to overcook proteins!
MAKE
MINUTES COUNT
Instead
of waiting and watching for the water on your pressure cooker to
boil, make it a game and see how much you can get done! Is it
possible to lay out all your pills before it’s time to remove the
pan from the heat?
Can
you clean up the kitchen or measure out your water for the day? It’s
quite amazing what you can do in minutes if you apply yourself!
A
BEDTIME ALARM
Alarms
wake you up, but can also be used to remind you that it is time to
wind down. Especially in the summer months when daylight hours can
stretch out well into evening, it can be very easy to lose track of
time and push your bed time into the red zone. A bedtime alarm,
will never let you forget when it’s time to wrap up the day.
IT’S
OK TO BE A LITTLE SNEAKY
This
one is for the family members who “don’t/won’t eat onions or
cauliflower.” Pressure cook three or more varieties of onions and
some cauliflower. The pressure cooking makes the onions very
sweet. The cauliflower will add some creaminess and texture.
Blend them all until smooth. You can drain some of the
liquid through a cheese cloth or just cook it down to thicken.
This
mixture can be used as a base in chili, or other sauces. I have
mixed it with carrots that I blended and added some taco seasoning
sauce and a little ground meat at the end. The family loved the
meal and had no idea they had just eaten a good potion of the
vegetables they all claim they don’t like!
PICK
A POSITIVE ATTITUDE
Be
kind to yourself and go step by step. This is not a game of
“perfect.” Do the best you can and keep moving in the
right direction. Momentum and desire for more will build as you
feel yourself gaining energy, clarity and overall vitality.
Lose the mentality that “if I can’t do it all, then I won’t do
any of it.”
Every little bit you do helps and leads to a path to more. It may takes some practice and some trial and error, but keep plugging along. It’s worth it!
