4 Types of Planners and Journals and Why You Need Them

Are you a keeper of journals?

Notice I didn't say hoarder. Giggle!  After you get started journaling it starts to become a habit and you want to do more and more in every area of your life.



How To Get Started



1. Pick an area of your life that you need to work on or make better.  In this video I started with a food diary.  Everyone has some sort of health issue that they need to work on pertaining to food.



Whether you need to lose weight or gain (like me) you should keep a food log.



If you have food sensitivities or allergies (again like me) then you should be on a four day rotation diet to minimize the reactions.  I also did the 21 day elimination diet to start me off.  I was easy to do.  Then I found a doctor that specializes in gut health and he guided me even more on how to heal the gut with food.



2.  Now that you've picked out a food diary book you need to map out a weekly menu to follow.



3.  List breakfast, lunch and dinner.  Snacks if you need them.  If not leave them out.  You should only be drinking water or herbal teas.  No coffee or caffeine.  Especially if you have heart burn or GERD.



4.  Try to add as many organic foods to your menu as possible.  Why put chemicals into your body that your poor liver has to process.  They only add to your health problems in the long run.  Even if you are a young person you need to start good eating habits by choosing organic foods now and save yourself a lot of suffering later.



5.  Try not to eat out.  I know, many of you love to have someone else weight on you.  But, restaurant foods are loaded with all the bad things that cause your health issues to get worse.  Like high in salt, sugar, fat and calories.



6.  Monitor how you feel after 30 days of keeping a record of what you eat.  When you start to notice a certain food causes unpleasant side effects cut it out for 3 months.  Then add it back in and see what happens.

Year End Review Of 2019 Organizing Challenge By Markets Of Sunshine

2019 Organizing Challenge year end review.

Out of all the rooms in my home that needed to be organized the most was my home office and craft room.  I'm happy to announce that we finished organizing and cleaning every room in our house with the exception of the garage.  That will have to be tackled in fast approaching new year of 2020.

My craft room has one final shelf to be put on the wall and then my organizing for that room will be complete.  Yay!  I'll take a video and show you the final results with my first blog post in January 2020.

Did you do the challenge with us?  If you did you must be very proud of what you were able to accomplish in 2019 now that your home is more organized and less cluttered.  It will always be a work in progress for us.  The daily to-do-list is always filled with more than we can get to that day.
So like most of us it gets pushed to the next day and something on that's day list gets moved to the next and so on. 

Until the end of the year is staring you in the face and you look at that to-do list and see that there were just some things that did not get done.  But, never fear the things that still need doing.  Look back at what you did get done and stand up tall and reward yourself for a job well done!

I've already made myself a challenge for the new year.  Here it is...My challenge for the new year is to keep my craft room orderly and the floor clear at all times.  That will keep me very focused and busy picking up after myself when I am working on a project. 

My 2nd challenge is to follow my rotation diet and heal my gut issues for the new year.  I am working with several qualified health care professionals that will be helping me reach this goal.
I'm already feeling better and sleeping better than I have in the last 15 years just by getting off the foods I was allergic too.  And, by getting off all the supplements that I no longer needed to be taking for my Lyme disease and endocrine system.

Now that I have a list of foods to avoid I can now read product labels which includes the supplements so I don't keep aggravating my body and causing inflammation.

So, tell me what you have challenged yourself to do in 2020.

Leave me a comment below or reply back to my newsletter that will be going out to your inbox every Tuesday.

See you all when all is new!

Sending You Sunshine,
