Create Your Own Magic [1/5]

April 20, 2020

Firstly,

I would like to dedicate the coming five post to my Grandpa Tandal. As an immigrant with a hint of education he didn’t wait for handouts, figured things out and made mistakes along the way.

As a youth he got real sick and they pronounced him dead. He woke up in a mortuary and lived to tell the tale. In fact he was declaired “deceased” more than once.

He married one woman and even when she fell out of love wit him he refused to divorce her. Because he made a covenant before God.

“The day you choose to LIVE, is the day you truly understand the MAGIC of intention.”

Start at the bottom.

I have no clue why people are afraid of going back to basics or starting from ground level. Not just when you’re a spiffy teen getting your first job but when you’re 40’ 50’ or 60’ and redefining yourself. Starting back at square one doesn’t mean you failed. Instead it’s a chance to recreate your dreams from scratch.

We weren’t meant to live linear lives such as…

Go to school.
Get a job.
Create Debt. (ex. house, car, student loans)

What happened to your dreams of owning an island, traveling the world or swimming with the dolphins? Each dream is doable but why aren’t you doing them?

I would like to share with you five observations that I learned from my grandpa and I hope they will serve you. Also join me as I continue the conversation on Instagram.

SELF RELIANCE

He didn’t have rich relatives or a benevolent government. Just his two hands and an unbelievable imagination. He built a business, bought homes in Hawaii and added his last name to seven children. Things were difficult and he made it through a war, prejudices and language barrier. And all he had was his two hands and an unbelievable imagination.

REFLECTION

It’s your turn.

What do you have in your possession right now that can’t be taken away, stolen or sold?
Do you believe that challenges and crisis were meant to fuel your creativity?
What are you good at that no one else can do?
What would it look like if you took a chance on your gifts, talents or abilities?
Who can you share this with?

For the love of bees…

They are an extraordinary creatures and my favorite in the insect category. As a child I tried to keep one as a pet, so sorry Mr. Bee.

Along with their extended history with human kind, dating back thousands of years, is a tiny bug with a giant presences. It provides sweetness, organic medicine, healing properties and overall wellness.

Instead of sharing my words I wanted to compile a list of other respected bloggers and articles.

Enjoy.

Fake honey is generally some honey mixed with other sugar syrups. These syrups come from plants like sugar cane, corn, or rice. They can be cheaper and easier to produce than honey.

How to check if your honey is pure or fake?

Fake or adulterated honey will dissolve in the water while pure honey which has a more dense texture will settle right at the bottom of the glass as lumps. The same is the case with blotting paper or a white cloth. If you pour pure honey on the two, it will not get absorbed or leave stains.

What do your habits reveal?

I think habits are fascinating because it happens without us realizing. Almost as if your brain and body are on autopilot. Exploring our, "why" as in why-we-do-anything comes from the early stages of a habit.

Habits reveal so much about our life-style and environment. Which is obvious right? Well... not always. It's not obvious because we're not paying attention to ourselves. We're too busy looking after others to notice what's going on right under our noses.

Which is why I created a free pdf called: Habit Tracker. Catchy title right. In this post I'll cover how to create, use and why we all need it. You can even get younger ones involved. [Keep reading]

SPECIAL NOTE:

The content in this post might change your life for the better but that depends 100% on you. It's the action you take, which will make all the difference. Set your intention right now to take action. [Grab your Habit Tracker now.]

Start paying attention to yourself while tracking your habits. It's not a mystery why some things work and others don't. Our subconscious is always gathering information but we're not always aware of it. That info becomes part of our thought process and can turn into habits. Some habits are helpful, while others have the ability to slowly damage our wellbeing. With a habit-tracker [HT] you can log in your activity in a non judgmental way. The spaces are large enough to...

Color
Doodle
Stamp
Use Stickers
Paint
Embellish
Mark [x]

I created this HT to be larger than most so it can offer reflective moments. It's other purpose is to take up space, so put it on your fridge. It can help you understand where you are and where you want to be. I hope you create a habit around tracking and settle down with some tea and fill it out daily. Don't forget to use #WholelisticFit when posting or sharing your results. You might get featured.

“In understanding the infinite, unmeasurable possibilities that I am capable of, I must first know the habits I possess.”

How to create it.

I added a YouTube video but in my situation I didn't watch any particular vlogger. It was a simple start, in the beginning, I wanted to track my water intake for a month. So I used stickers on my planner page. Each cup of water was marked with a sticker on that day. Eventually I wanted to track other things.

To make your own you need three [3] things. You can determine the intensity or its simplicity.

Something to represent a "tick" mark.
Somewhere to mark it.
Someplace to post or put it.

How to use it.

When starting, I suggest you keep it simple. Don't try to HT twelve [12] different habits. Start with two [2]. You can use it to HT a current habit like 'drinking water' or a desired habit such as marking your AB or Plank challenge. I think the biggest habit to incorporate is to remember to mark your HT daily.

Why do we need it?

First of all let me give you some background. At some point in my life I was trained and worked as a Chiropractic Assistant [CA]. Than I took it to the next level and became a Registered Nutritional Consultant Practitioner [RNCP] in eastern and western nutrition. It was my job to reveal the report of findings, basically what the DC found. Aside from the car injury clients everyone else would get the, "If you change a few habits" speech.

That resonated with me since so many of our diseases [Dis-Ease] are connected to life-style. This was the beginning of my holistic journey. A time in my life where I read labels, considered what I ate and where it came from. Unfortunately I had already loss a lot of loved ones to diabetes, heart disease and lung cancer. My mission was to help those around me. Did they listen? Not always because they refused to change a few habits. And when they finally decided to make a change it was too late, since the desire to change was the result of a doctors persuasion. Which typically resulted in a bunch of drugs and weekly visits.

Do we need to wait for a WAKE-UP call on our health or can we maintain wellness?
