I couldn't believe how great she looked. I had never seen an accountant look that radiant right after tax season. They normally look burned out, bloated, and like they had a hang over.  (No offense to my accountant friends).  But not Joanne.  Joanne DelBolso from No Fuss Accounting in Cicero, NY was on her 10th day of juicing and she looked RADIANT!  

I spent an entire day with her at an Accounting and Organizational Seminar she gave.  Nine hours of great but brain intensive information.  I was shocked to see her fully energized at 5pm while the rest of us were exhausted.  Then I remembered how energizing fasting could be. 

I wrote about my 7 day juice fast back in October where I almost made it 7 days. Since then I realized I did things kind of wrong and am thinking about giving it another try. Joanne was really motivational and helpful in seeing that you need to work up to it.  You can't just decide you are going to do it tomorrow without investigating a juicer, testing out recipes, slowing down the sugars, and carbs and then gradually going into it.  She planned and achieved! 

Here is her story:

I first started seeing the importance of loving yourself about 12 years ago in my practice. I would spend an hour with many patients with my combination Chiropractic essential oil treatments.  Some women would open up to me right away, others after many sessions.  Maybe they sensed that I cared, maybe they knew I was a safe outlet, that I could relate or maybe they knew I might have a resource for them to help. Their stories were of their past, hurts, heartaches, and wounds.

Sadly the stories were devastating, heart breaking, and some you wouldn’t be able to believe the cruelty in this world. As a result, many of these women’s traumas had directly affected their current beliefs about themselves.  Some saw themselves as ugly, some un-loveable, and not worthy of much in life. In addition, they may have had habits that protected them or even pushed love away.

Your habits reflect how you feel about yourself    

I don’t mean to be insensitive, but I think everyone would agree that individuals that are plagued with eating disorders, alcoholism, drug addiction, and even cutting struggle with SELF LOVE. In fact some call these behaviors acts of self hate. 

But there is another group of people who at a lesser degree still struggle with SELF LOVE. They may sabotage their success in different areas. They lose 30 pounds, start feeling unworthy of being healthy or slim and gain it all back and then some.  They may have success in their business and then start believing what their ex verbally abusive husband said “YOU WILL NEVER BE GOOD AT ANYTHING”. 

Have you ever wondered why you keep going around in circles in your life?  Have you seen patterns of self-sabotage?  

If yes, KEEP READING.

How to Overcome your Struggle with Self Love

Loving yourself totally requires that we pull of the roots of unworthiness. See, somewhere in your life a seed was planted. It could have been one boy at the playground calling you fat at recess. It could have been an ignorant parent telling you to shut up and you don’t know anything. It could have been a rotten husband crushing your once beautiful self esteem with awful words.  And it could have been years of your own negative self talk.

Seeds get planted but it takes water, sun and nutrients to grow. Sadly, roots grow then the stem, then the leaves and if the process continues without WEED KILLER, we may even see a TREE with FRUIT. Fruit of UNWORTHINESS, LOW SELF ESTEEM, even SELF HATRED.

But we have to understand we can’t just simply pick the fruit.  Why?  Because it will grow back.  Telling ourselves we are “over it” or using affirmations like “I am beautiful, I am successful, I am worthy” is not enough. It’s good, don’t get me wrong but it won’t get to the roots.

I want to share a pattern I have seen in some women.  Trauma in their childhood, usually abuse of some sorts with parents who were neglectful or not loving in the way parents should be.  The trauma of their childhood led to eating disorders, or some form of self abuse or self hatred.  They found themselves in abusive relationships and by their 30’s started struggling with their health. They padded their lives with fat, things, or habits like emotional eating, co-dependency, always saying yes, putting all their energy into a career, child or other person.  This padding is a wall… a wall to keep love out. In relationships mostly with men, they might push them away with meanness and cruelty just because of their own feelings of unworthiness.

Now of course this is the extreme, but many individuals do this on different levels.  

How to Break Free of Self Hatred

Self Hatred is a powerful force that could leave a person in bondage for life. The good news is there is a force greater than this. A force that can break the bonds of torment, hurt, self sabotage, and pull up the roots of unworthiness.  Some call this force miraculous and with bondage breaking over night. Others use this force and break free over months or even years.  I personally have witnessed dozens of clients and friends set free from the past junk that controlled their lives. The cool thing is they did it without a decade of counseling, medications, or electro-shock treatments.

 Most people believe in it but still don’t know how to harness this force to BREAK FREE.

For over 3 years I have worked with this specific Bondage Breaking Force. It is amazing how radically it can change your life. How good happiness feels, freedom, and joy! I would love to see you experience this same thing and learn to break free. On May 18th, we have a special presentation given by Dr. Lavonne Atnip, a counselor who has helped hundreds of clients including myself harness this 2000 year old force and BREAK FREE from the Bondage of Unworthiness. If you would like to break free too, join us.
