It has not always been like this

I abused my body for years

With alcohol, too much sugar and foods that fed inflammation day in day out

๐Ÿ’ฅAt 30 I had an ectopic pregnancy and almost died

๐Ÿ’ฅAt 31 I had a C-section

๐Ÿ’ฅAt 34 I had gestational diabetes

๐Ÿ’ฅAt 38 I had Stage 3 Bowel Cancer

๐Ÿ’ฅAn emergency surgery to cut the cancer out

๐Ÿ’ฅ12 sessions of chemotherapy

๐Ÿ’ฅA partial hysterectomy

My husband sometimes joke and asks me if I have anything left inside๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜‚

โœจI stopped accepting aging as my excuse of feeling exhausted

โœจI never accepted the โ€œbeing sickโ€ person during cancer treatment or after it

โœจI always believed there was a lot I could do and I did it

No BSโ€ฆ

Just did it

I believe there is a lot we can do for our health

Not in the form of delegating it to someone or something else and attending treatments daily

or taking a ton of supplements

From Stage 3 Bowel Cancer to feeling the healthiest I have ever been

I had a terrible habit to blameโ€ฆ.

Blame other peopleโ€ฆ

Blame my circumstancesโ€ฆ.

Blame my โ€œbad luckโ€

Blame the person who is driving slowly in front of me when I am late

Blame the car park that was too tight because I am such a bad driver to park the carโ€ฆ

Ya know how it goes right?

You have a habit to blame and you blame everythingโ€ฆ

It is easyโ€ฆ

It makes you feel you are rightโ€ฆ.

And the world is wrongโ€ฆ

But when I made a decision to take full responsibility of my lifeโ€ฆ

I had to undo the โ€œblamingโ€ habitโ€ฆ

And in every situation I started asking myself questions like:

โ€œWhat can I learn here?โ€

โ€œIs this happening with me because I need to see something that I couldnโ€™t see?โ€

Taking responsibility is a little more challengingโ€ฆ

It requires practiceโ€ฆ.

It requires discipline and persistenceโ€ฆ

These are the main lessons I learned when I start taking full responsibility of my life

Taking responsibility empowers you even when it hurtsโ€ฆ

Blaming leaves your powerlessโ€ฆ

When you take responsibility, you can change anything in your life because you are in controlโ€ฆ

Blaming makes you feel you canโ€™t change anythingโ€ฆ

Taking responsibility is a practice that gives you energyโ€ฆ

Blaming is a practice that drains your energyโ€ฆ

Taking responsibility of where you are at and who you are is an important step towards changing your life but again it is a practice and habit.

โ€œAccept responsibility for your life. Know that it is you who will get where you want to go. No one elseโ€ Les Brown

Not in a million years I would have thought I would be at the best shape in my life after cancer treatment

Not in a million years I thought I would have my own business helping people to change their lives….

It all started with a decision…

A decision to live a life that I wanted….

On my terms…

And a decision to doing the work every day….

Everything that was required to get there and beyond…

Stress is killing you and it is addictive

Ouch!

That is an overreaction isnโ€™t it?

When you have a stressful reaction and the stress hormones get activated. It stays in your body for 5 hours and it shuts down your immune system for 5 hours…

Yeap…5 hours…

No immune systemโ€ฆ no soldiers to fight anything that comes your wayโ€ฆ.

When I realised that stress was a third cause of my cancer diagnosis, I knew I needed to react differently to itโ€ฆ

I needed to find a different way to deal with the daily stresses of likeโ€ฆ.

How do you do that when it feels everything is coming our way all the time:

Unless you are a complete chill person, you are probably addicted to stress without even realising it.

You keep telling yourself things:

Work is stressful

Life is stressful

My family stresses me out

I am too stressed, I need a drinkโ€ฆ

My kids stresses me outโ€ฆ

My pet stresses me outโ€ฆ

Your body is constantly looking for the next โ€œstress highโ€ as it is used to feeling stressed all the time.

This addiction comes from your body as you are used to being and feeling on flight and fight mode 24/7

Recognizing that is key if you want to change your reactions to lifeโ€™s challenges

If you are not taking 5-10 minutes to gaze the sky, listen to a guided meditation or just to being, you are overworking your mindโ€ฆ

Your mind is never getting a break and things will be getting on top of you quickerโ€ฆ

You get stressed about smaller things and getting out of that cycle becomes even harderโ€ฆ

One of the first things people do when they want to torture people is to deprive them from sleep.

It seems like people do this these days as a tool to torturing themselves.

Whether you are following the latest guruโ€™s advice on accomplishing more and sleeping less or if you just donโ€™t prioritise your sleepโ€ฆ

You are torturing yourself dailyโ€ฆ

Adding a major stress to your bodyโ€ฆ

Once more contributing to staying in the fight or flight mode more often than not.

Why You Can’t Change Your Habits

This is a tough question right!

It makes us feel inadequate, less than…

It makes us feel we are a failure and a disappointment to ourselves and others…

Part of the problem is that behind every intention to change, there is an underlining unconscious fear and commitment to protect the ego..

to stay the same….

We want to open ourselves up but deep down we fear that the person on the otherwise will see ourselves in a different light, will judge us…

That deep desire to protect us wins because it is primal and it has always been there…

We do everything in our day-to-day lives to avoid pain and to create pleasure…

Going to uncomfortable places, getting out of our comfort zone and shinning a light into our darkness doesn’t fall into these 2 categories…

Avoiding pain or create pleasure…

In my journey to healing myself and helping others to heal, I believe there is one simple thing that discern the person who can overcome that and the person who can’t:

The person who can overcome that is the one who can sit with their pain, their uncomforting feeling of whatever they went through, whoever they have become and wherever they are at in life

But going to that place is not easy….

And it is not for everyone…

And when we want to go there by ourselves….

Our ego grows bigger and stop us from going to that painful place…

When we work with someone who can guide us through it by shedding a light into our darkness…

finding our blind spots…

Things are easier, you achieve what you desire faster and you create the life you want without all the baggage you have been carrying around.

You always have options though…

You can keep trying it at your own peace, go on another strict life style diet, watching free videos on social media, reading books and trying to figure out how to implement things…

or

You can work with someone who has done it – someone who has proven results and someone who has a simple and efficient strategy

If you are:

Sick and tired of living a life that is unfulfilled

Physically stressed and exhausted

Ready to be ruthlessly honest to yourself

Willing to get out of comfort zone

I would love to chat with you:

I stopped drinking coffee

As the world becomes more and more uncertainty, we are left to making one decision…

Are we going to take control of our lives or are we going to leave it up to chance?

Are you going to take small steps each day to look after ourselves or are we going to wait for something else to happen before we do anything?

On the 1st of January I stopped drinking coffee…

By the way I am not saying coffee is bad, all I saying is I wanted to take this “small step” to see how my body felt.

Instead of reading a book about it (by the way I have read many good and bad things about coffee) I decided to listen to my gut, to stop drinking coffee and to actually experience what it does in my body…

Ya know…I am Brazilian…I have drank coffee my whole entire life and I have always loved coffee.

Before I was diagnosed with cancer, I was drinking away too much coffee with sugar too (ouch!) and my inner voice kept telling me, you should stop drinking coffee.

But it has taken me 2.5 years to stop drinking coffee…

Isn’t that crazy?

We get so caught up in our habits that we think that if we hold on to that, it means we are living a “good” life.

But we forget (or maybe ignore altogether) to accept that some of our habits are just not good for us…

Yet we keep doing…

So to answer that question that is in your head?

Do I feel better about not drinking coffee?

YES, I DO!

I feel coffee gave me a fake feeling of energy (which I don’t need by the way as I have away too much energy) and coffee is also too strong for my bowel (yes exactly where my cancer was)

So the short answer is for me drinking one coffee per day (which is what I did) is probably not beneficial.

So what about you?

What have you been doing that you know in your gut (sometimes literally) that is not good for you?

You don’t have to stop forever…

You can always stop and see how you feel…

Nobody is going to stop you from going back to it…

You can simply try it…

See how you feel it…

And if you decide you still want to keep that “habit”, just go back to it.

I would love to hear how you get on…
