Reflexology, Reiki, and Your Self-Care Diet Journey
Your diet is a life-changing self-care journey.
A successful diet begins with a plan . For many, this plan begins and ends with the diet itself. Nobody gets past whether the diet is Keto or low carbohydrate or low calorie diet or any one of hundreds of weight-loss diets.
The diet itself is only a part of the total package. A diet is a time when you embark on a spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical self-care journey. And, surprisingly, it’s not really about getting to a certain body size. The quest for a body with perfect proportions is doomed before it even starts.
Your total diet package is a quest for a healthy body that functions, not just window dressing.
These upcoming blog posts are keys focused on helping you achieve your goal. They offer you tools to change your life so that you achieve your own goals. There is no authority here telling you what is best for you.
Except you. You are your own authority. No one is going to challenge what is right or wrong for you.
This is your ultimate self-care manual. As you read these blog posts, use whatever tools work best for you, your health and your well-being.
They help you achieve your self-care goals as they share ways to boost your energy, enliven and calm your mind, balance your emotions, and prevent, control, and reverse health problems you experience.
Your life-changing, self-care journey begins with reflexology and reiki sessions. My hope is that you will schedule at least one session each week.
Keep a journal describing your feelings and reactions after each session:
Are you sleeping better?
Are you calmer?
Maybe you are more excitable.
What about your bowel movements?
What does your skin look like?
Whatever happens to you, write down what you observe. It may take several sessions before you feel and observe differences. Or, you may see changes from the first session.
There is no wrong or right way to experience reflexology and Reiki. Each person is different.
Regular sessions are important for your self-care diet journey.
You may perceive some obstacles here. Now is a good time to overcome them. Find a Reiki master teacher and learn Reiki 1 if you don’t know where to get the sessions. A Reiki 1 class will teach you everything you need to help yourself in a successful journey.
Is $$$ an obstacle? Offer an exchange of some kind.
Regular foot reflexology sessions are ideal. if you don’t know a reflexologist, get a book and chart on hand reflexology and give yourself a session.
Thank you for reading this blog post. It’s the beginning of several articles written with you and your successful diet in mind. The things I suggest in them are not listed by how important they are.
Each suggestion is equally important. More important is how they interest you. And how each item motivates you to progress on your journey. I’m hoping you will see each change you make as an achievement toward your goal.
As you continue down your diet path, I’m hoping you will let each change be a new habit you can live with for the rest of your life.

I’m looking forward to joining you on your journey.

Choose Water! – But Why?
When you think about dieting, you probably don’t even think about water. Instead, you think about things you’re going to give up in order to release those unwanted pounds.
Before you even decide many details of your diet, explore what you’re going to drink…and why. You may find that you’re thinking MORE and not Less.
For starters, drink more for a successful diet. Think more ounces, and cups, in glasses, bottles, and cans.
But…more and not less of what?
For starters, drink less tea, carbonated drinks, alcohol, and 100% fruit juices. Better yet, skip anything with a calorie.
Now is the best time to eliminate carbonation. Break the diet soda pop drink habit today!
Choose water!
If you’re stuck on diet sodas, you may discover many options you never considered before. It may take several days or weeks even to try out all the new found options just waiting for you to try on grocery shelves.
As you sample the many drinks out there, avoid artificial sweeteners if you can. These artificial sweeteners haven’t been proven to support your weight loss.
As you test different products, put them in categories because there are so many choices.
Water is Your First Choice. Not all water tastes the same. You’ll have fun choosing your favorite.
For starters, put waters in two basic categories: natural spring water and purified water. Personally, I went for the purified waters to begin with. I found so many delicious spring waters that now I keep several different waters on my pantry shelves.
There are many, many infused waters to choose from.
Also on this first list, include strained homemade broth.
Your Second Choice is Water with Stevia-Sweetened Flavor Drops. These products are essentially products with liquid water enhancers added.
Decaffeinated herbal teas come in the water-with-enhancers category.
Flavored Drinks sweetened with Stevia are your third choice.
Artificially flavored sweetened beverages make up your fourth choice. This choice includes sugar-free popsicles, sugar-free gelatin and any broths with MSG.
This last category is your jettison section.
Don’t even consider diet soda pops, seltzer waters, sugar-sweetened beverages, fruit juice, milkshakes, and fancy coffee drinks. Erase them from your consciousness.
Discovering your new favorite drink may take some persistence and a few trips to the super market. Don’t rush this search. This is an important discovery for you. You’re searching for a beverage to live with.
Take all the time you want.
I shopped in my super market for years and never really paid a lot of attention to what waters were sitting on the shelves.
Recently, I went to my favorite super market and looked at all the different bottled/canned waters out there. This time, I really looked at what was on the shelves. What I saw amazed me!
It seemed my new diet was opening up a whole new world for me…a world of waters!
