Exercise: Walking
Food: 5 bananas, mango and spinach smoothie, almonds, grapes
I notice when I read my living nutrition magazines I get really inspired by my raw lifestyle. I am inspired on a daily basis, but I get further insights from reading and also get to hear how other people are doing. I have read loads of raw books in a relatively short period of time. My subconscious is now becoming increasingly raw! It's weird but I can look at certain foods now and I can literally feel my mind running ahead to work out the long term consequence not just the short term gratification of my potential decision!
Immersing yourself in information and experience of things that are important to you helps you get to where you want to go faster. Catherine Ponder refers to this in 'The Dynamic Laws of Prosperity'.
So first step decide what subject takes your fancy, and then just learn about it, talk and listen to relevant people, practice it , then it becomes a part of you and before you know it, you're an expert!
It applies to languages, a friend of a friend went to Paris to learn french. He lived with a french family, and the teacher refused to speak a word of English. He said he was compelled to learn in that situation, and that after a while something just clicked and the language was just there.
We all know the principle: What you focus your attention on is what you get.
On a separate but not unrelated topic read this fab email from Matthew Bilt;
Did you know there's a way to ALWAYS get what you want...?Well there is, and I'm going to sharewith you how to ALWAYS win and get whatyou want...In fact - even when YOU lose youWIN.Why?Simply - because you are unattached toany outcome.Here's how this works...Let's say you are wanting to create yourdream house or dream relationship...Instead of physically going to a realtor and picking out the exact house - OR meeting some guy or girl and thinkingto yourself..."THIS IS THE ONE"You step back for a second and think aboutthe ESSENCE of what it is that you want.In a relationship - you can get the VIBEof the type of person you want to be with.Or for a dream house, you get the VIBEof what the dream house does for you.So - map out your desires based on the essence of what you want.This is ESSENCE vs. Form... and it's a verypowerful concept.Begin to align yourself with the essence ofwhat you want and not worry about what formit comes in... For example - your dream relationship could be with that one guy or girl you just met... butthere's 100 other people that would do the job just as well.SO STOP GETTING ATTACHED!The same goes for any job/business/goal/relationshipetc, etc, etc.This applies to EVERYTHING.Figure out what the essence and feeling of whatit is you want to create - demand that essencebut be totally unattached to what form it showsup in.It will come to you VERY Fast.That's all for today.We teach more cool stuff like this in our12-Weeks to Abundance course but the letterisn't up yet...So if you're interested just e-mail me.And I'll hook you up.Talk soon!Matthew Bilt Publishing, Inc.7-1650 St. Mary's RoadWinnipeg, MB R2N 1G2

It's All In The Fruit
Exercise: Brisk walking, some yoga
Food: 6 bananas, some dates, bunch of grapes, punnet of cherries, v large handful of mixed nuts, salad of baby spinach, cucumber and celery
You may have noticed I haven't been putting escalators up in my exercise for the day. Well I've decided to focus on doing more yoga on a daily basis. I still do the escalators but not all the time, but when I do stand it's because I'm reading a book. I refuse to just throw my time away!
At the moment I'm immersed in 'Left in The Dark' by Graham Gynn and Tony Wright. I'm nearly half way through and there's a lot of science involved.
'..cooking therefore represents one further step away from the ancestral diet that nurtured our brain growth. This new change accelerated the degeneration that had been slowly taking place over the preceding 200,000 yrs. A system, which was already on a downward slope, now constructed itself out of materials ever lacking in the biochemistry needed for healthy functioning.
I am convinced more than ever (not that I need convincing mind) that humans are frugivores i.e. fruit eaters and that if we are going to tap into the potential that God has blessed us with in any impactful way (when I say impactful way I mean character-changing, life-changing, world-changing, and generational change) then we won't be able to ignore this. Ghandi is an example of someone who radically changed his lifestyle to fulfil his purpose and the way he ate was a part of this.
I feel very stirred up inside because I know you and I are not here on earth in order to simply meet meet our needs, and get by. We are here to be ourselves fully and out of that being to impact generations through vision and mission.

Gaining Clarity
Exercise: Lots of walking
Food: 5 bananas, pineapple juice, guava and mandarin smoothie, bunch of grapes, a few dates, a large handful of pistachios, carrot, celery and sweetcorn salad
I've signed up for the 48 ways of wisdom from Aish.com. And one of them was explaining the importance of having clear definitions to be able to make correct evaluations of the results you see in your life.
For example many people say they are into healthy eating. But what do they mean by healthy eating? eating organic meat, being vegetarian, eating fruits? You have to research each area to find out the truth of the matter not simply what you believe to be the truth. Truth remember can stand on it's own merit, it is verifiable, it is does not need belief to stand it up. And so you go and do your research and find that actually meat is not a requirement for health in fact it can be a requirement for anti-health. Then of course you have the decision to eat it or not, both options equally valid. But both options giving different results either in the short term or the long term.
When you say you want to be fit what do you mean by fit? Why do you want to be fit? What is the best way to become fit? Are you committed (single-mindedly focussed). Do you know that fit is not the same as healthy? Fit simply means being able to achieve certain feats usually within certain time limits. It doesn't necessarily mean healthy eating and lifestyle habits are present. We've all done things through sheer force of will! Healthy and fit go together, one without the other is none at all.
Clarity brings consciousness which empowers commitment.

We Can Have Health Now
Exercise: yoga
Food: Big bunch of red grapes, salad- leaves, carrot and celery, pistachios, 1 banana, quite a few dates!
I bought a large 300g bag of raw pistachio kernels from Tesco thinking I will use it to top up my 'nut tub' at work for the week. Hmm very moreish might have to rethink that plan. The grapes from Sainsbury's were juicy but tasteless, M&S wins hands down. But the organic green ones from Sainsbury's are crisp and refreshing. Okay that's the supermarket round up.
Here is something I got from my first copy of Vibrance magazine! It's written by Dr Robert Sniadach. His website is below.
http://www.transformationinstitute.org/index.html
"God is not playing some perverse trick on us. It is not as if God made superb health the endpoint of some incredibly tough maze, one which only brilliant scientists and learned doctors could even begin to fathom. He is not standing back and laughing as we grope for all sorts of 'cures'. I suspect that he is very saddened by our suffering, especially when nearly all of it is unecessary. He made provisions for us, as he made provisions for all His creatures on Earth.
God created Man. God created Nature. God makes it all work. Trust that it all works. Trust in Nature. Trust in Man. Most of all, trust in God.

In The Dark?
Exercise: Run, yoga
Food: 6 bananas, fresh oj, pineapple and celery juice, salad of leaves, carrot and celery, smoothie-mango, goji berries and coconut milk
I stumbled upon a new website (like I need another one!) while reading the latest edition of mini passion magazine from www.detoxyourworld.com, it's www.leftinthedark.com
Read the introduction at this link,
http://leftinthedark.org.uk/introduction
I just had to paste this para from the site!
An investigation into the evolution of the human brain.A journey to the edge of the human mind.
The human brain, over a period of perhaps a million years, expanded at an increasingly rapid rate then, some 200,000 years ago, this expansion suddenly stopped. There is, to date, no plausible scientific explanation for either of these linked events.Religious and mythic traditions of paradise inform us that we once lived in a benign state of perpetual wonder and joy but from this we regressed. The reasons for this are obscure. Do these apparently unrelated perspectives have something in common?
How exciting!!! I have to get this book. I'm a great believer that Truth with a capital T can stand on it's own merit i.e. it's not dependent on belief and is verifiable. And for me the test for Truth is that it brings more freedom into my life period. Read the Introduction link and then ask yourself whether your doubts about eating raw, particularly FRUIT might suddenly be emigrating to some far off land!
I've got to do some more reading, (good science is invaluable) and will unpick it here. What I will add for now is that I noticed when I became consciously raw I was recognising truth more easily, was drawn to my purpose, coincidences and synchronicities were happening that I couldn't ignore, my mind became clear, my spiritual awareness heightened, becoming more courageous and adventureous, I was becoming more me. It's not just eating raw food, as I was changing/investing in new life habits and continue to do so as you will know, yoga, prayer, meditation, being in nature, making decisions based on my values. But eating raw biologically appropriate food is one of the most significant factors along with taking away food that weighs the body down and ties up its creative energy.
A very simple book to read that can help bring clarity is Grain Damage by Dr Douglas Graham. I love this book! It's so easy to read and short but packs a punch. You can buy it on Amazon.com
Graham writes: "during the 'Golden Age of Man' almost three thousand years ago, historical records indicate that man thrived brilliantly on a diet composed primarily of fruit, with the addition of some tender vegetables. This time period produced a disproportionately huge number of history's greatest thinkers, given that the world's population was barely twenty million".
WOW!!
