Joyful Minds, Open HeartsOvercoming Negativity Addiction

I was just telling Andrew today that when I interviewed David Wolfe (raw food expert) on Feel it Real radio he said something that at the time I did not agree with, but have very recently changed my tune about.

He said, “You are what you eat trumps you are what you think every time.”

I was enthusiastic in my response to him, but inside I thought to myself, “No. Eating doesn’t affect our chemicals as much as thinking does.”

HA.

Was I ever wrong.

Over the last few weeks, I hadn’t been feeling as good as I was when I was eating mostly raw foods. I have been doing Natalia Rose’s detox diet, which is FABULOUS if you are coming from a standard American diet, but for me, I had already been mostly raw and done Juice Fasting, etc. My body is really clean.

So for the past few weeks I haven’t been feeling as good at vibe switching because I’m eating cooked veggies, butter, goat cheese, etc.

Well, yesterday, as an experiment, I ate 100% raw and BOOM. It was like someone raised my vibration instantly to bliss, I was automatically plugged into a JOY-socket, electrified, my usual happy self. And I know, being the inner chemist that I am, the only change was my diet! I had been trying so hard to vibe switch before and it was working but it was so so much more difficult, like pulling teeth to turn the vibe around. Now, I can’t get triggered if I tried.

The only difference? The food.

So now I agree with David Wolfe entirely, when it comes to Overcoming Negativity Addiction. “You are what you eat trumps you are what you think.” Now, this doesn’t mean that the thinking isn’t our main focus with ONA, but we have to lay the groundwork by eating and drinking foods that make vibe switching easier.

With that said, here is my recommendation for anyone out there who feels that food and drink may be affecting your overall vibration.

1. It’s more important to start to eliminate certain foods than it is to load up on new foods. By that I mean, just give up one thing that you know is affecting you negatively as far as your chemical addiction goes. For some, it could be coffee, for others, too many sweets. For someone whose system is relatively clean, eat more raw foods. You have to go at a pace that works for you and it is all relative. For someone coming off cheeseburgers and pizza, Natalia Rose’s diet is going to work wonders for your chemicals. But for someone who has been 100% raw for ten years, Natalia’s diet may make things worse for you (like it did me). So, find where your next step is and take it gently.
2. Try to eat as many high vibrating foods as possible in every day. Go ahead and eat what you normally eat, but add a salad with it, or have fruit for breakfast, etc.
3. If there’s a way to get your fix in a healthier way, try that. Switch to decaf for awhile, then tea, etc. Be gentle with yourself as you transition. If you have to have chocolate like me, try raw chocolate or organic dark chocolate instead of a snickers bar, etc.
4. Become your own inner chemist, curious about what foods trigger your ONA and what foods make vibe switching easier and write down your conclusions in your journal. All scientists keep a log and you are now an inner chemist!
