    This Is SOO True {and so funny}

    I, for so long, have been trying to figure out why sometimes I feel really empowered talking about and sharing with people my very STRANGE eating habits and my theories behind it. And why, at other times, I feel like I need to be "quiet" and keep my views and standpoint to myself {even though I'm well-read and my knowledge about it is very keen}. 

    I guess it all depends on my environment and who I am around. Same goes for political views and also religion as well. 

    Why do I let others tell me over and over about their religious views or their political views but then don't feel right sharing mine or actually speaking against what they say? 

    Social norms and mores I guess? Or maybe just courtesy? I guess we all just want to fit in and don't want to be the "Weirdo" all the time. 

    I think it has something to do with what Jeff Sexton calls, Social Proof? What is that? (Jeff Sexton writes about this on SocialMediaExaminer.com)

    "One method we use to determine correct behavior is to find out what other people think is correct. We view a behavior as more correct in a given situation to the degree that we see others performing it." 

    This explains why sometimes I feel like the odd man out {i.e. the man dancing around in the video} and other times I feel like the jump-starter or the igniter of good/fun things! {the rest of the people join the man because they like it and suddenly the man isn't so weird?}

    OK, I know, this is a really weird blog post. But this video is just WAY too funny and really explain it all in a nutshell! Am I wrong?

    MORAL: Something SO WEIRD can be SO AWESOME with something as simple as the help of OTHERS joining in.

      I feel like this every day!!! I feel like most of the time I have to keep my feelings about food to myself. People have no problem cracking a joke about being raw/vegan but yet if the tables were turned things would get really uncomfortable. I do feel like an alien at times. I wish people would not be so judging!!! Where I live it is very hard to find people to relate to, THAT is why I love this blog!! I would dance with you Juli....

      @Dina. You totally said it right! I am always worrying about offending people.

      I also feel often that people are afraid to talk about their "bad" habits in front of ME. Like they might get me scolding them. .Ha.

      But I really don't care!!!! I am more open then people realize. I hate feeling like people don't talk about "life" around me. Catch 22, I guess.

      It's really fun for me to inform people of new things. When I see people get excited or they say "oh cool, I didn't know that!" That's what keeps me going. I don't care if people ever implement anything. Just as long as they KNOW. So they can make changes to fit their lifestyles. If that makes any sense...

      Oh isn't blogging fun!!! 🙂

      THANKS DINA

      Totally see what you mean, as much as I enjoy being removed from the common beliefs, it would still be nice to fit in from time to time 🙂 That video is the greatest.

Passion fruit water is yet another youth serum. As passion fruit is full of vitamin C, vitamin A, fiber, and minerals like calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, and folate. These help your kidneys, nerves, muscles, and heart rhythm in big ways.
Your body uses Vitamins C to make blood vessels, cartilage, muscles, and collagen, which keeps skin looking young. It also helps your body heal, lowers inflammation, and protects your cells from damage. When you get enough vitamin C, it lowers your chances of getting colds and certain types of cancers. Vit A is great for eyes, immunity, and cells.
Note: did you know Passion Fruit is actually a berry? The biggest berry you’ll find.

    If you’re not ready for change, you’re not rea
    If you’re not ready for change, you’re not ready for change. And that’s perfectly ok. 
Making healthy choices isn’t hard work. You “have time” to choose an apple over a bag of chips. Let’s be real here; you just DON’T WANT TO.  And that alone is totally ok!!
Let’s not shame others choices or pressure another to change. If somebody is not happy where they’re at, or they are sick, or in pain, only then will they start examining their current routines and habits. Anger is a great catalysts for change. It often pushes people out if their comfort zones and into action. 
I often hear “I don’t have time to be healthy”. But what that really means is I don’t want to change or I’m afraid of change. And I’m not ready. Change is what they’re nervous about - not the amount of time it takes to chop up vegetables. 
Be kind to yourself…but be honest. 
Notice what you say you desire (weightloss or more energy) and then really examine your habits. Do you make the choices a “thin” person makes? Do you make the choices a rested high energy person needs to make? This might seem obvious but it’s actually not…so often we overlook this gap. We don’t see it and then we get mad at ourselves. Punish ourselves for “failing” over and over again. 
Once you start paying attention to your actions and habits and line them up with your goals - that’s when the magic happens. 
Yay or nay?
