A few days ago it was about 8am and I was sipping on my vegan morning smoothy made of a hand full of frozen: Strawberries, Raspberries, Pineapple slices, Cherries, 1 Banana, half a slice of ripe Avocado + 1 Tbl Spoon of Molasses + 1 Tbl Spoon of Flaxseed Oil and a little bit of cayenne pepper. I use hot filtered-water to melt the frozen fruit for it’s much better on our system to drink room temperature rather than cold beverages and last but not least I add coconut Water. More Vegan Smoothies recipes here.
While I was mixing the smoothy I thought about all the convincing it took to get up early.
When you wake up in the morning have you ever asked yourself,
"WHO IS IN CHARGE HERE?"
Perhaps it’s a good question to ask yourself not just in the morning. "Who is in charge here?" is it me or is my emotions. Is it my desperation, my fear, my loneliness, my excitement, my guilty conscious, my empty stomach, my starved heart, my hung over head, my baby-head size pimple on my forehead, my ego…Who is it, that’s telling me how to feel?
Emotions are so amazing so valid, and we go through tons within minutes and are often completely unaware that we have so much going on within ourselves but when YOUR Emotions start to RUN you, things can get a bit complicated.
Exercise:
Imagine an INNER COMMITTEE and it’s hired to work for YOU,
YOU are your Company! You show up at the office and things are completely out of control. So you call in a meeting and as you walk in to the conference room you notice that there is someone else sitting in your CHAIR, it’s Mr. or Mrs. FEAR who is giving all kinds of orders and firing your colleagues: Self-Confidence, Trust, Believe, Talent and causing inner-turmoil galore!
Are you going to stand there and let someone else run YOUR COMPANY or are you going to
take charge!?!
Don’t let your FEAR run YOU!!
How?
PINK SLIP all those in that inner committee of yours that aren’t working in your best interest. I sometimes have to Pink Slip someone within me every other minute. Our Emotions are guidelines to show us what’s up with us what we should/could be doing more or less, but they aren’t who we ARE and they should NOT be the ones running your life. And it’s quite simple to figure out what works for you and what doesn’t. One makes you feel good and the other not so much.
So be your BOSS and think about what kind of BOSS you want to be for yourself.
Cuz YOU are in CHARGE!!

I LOVE THIS! THANK YOU for offering a great way to get things in order when you are feeling off track. And so humorous, too sometimes it is a little too easy to take yourself so seriously that you forget you can change your mind.
And thanks for the smoothie recipes. I am struggling to go raw vegan and need all the inspiration I can get.
You know, Sometimes the only thing that will keep you alive is fear.
Do you know what Adrenaline is? its liquid fear.
Sometimes just feeling good wont keep you alive.
This entry will help many people . Thanks for the inspiration …
Peace,
