5 Steps to start living a happier life!

1. Step Back

It is always best to take a step back and gain some perspective before you react. It's about Responding over Reacting. How can you take back your control?


2. Feel 100%

If you're feeling like crap. Let yourself feel it and process it and then LET IT GO. When we get disappointed that we are having a down day we don't realize how much more efficiently and quickly you could release the feeling if you just let yourself feel it. And LAUGH ALOT!


3. Live without Expectations

It is always about just being present. When you hold onto the past then you create a future based on your past, expecting it to be something. How can you tune your focus to the present moment and BE OK with each breath you take?


4. Self-Care

Non-negotiable. This is a must. What helps your nurture your body, mind and soul? Whether it is 10 minutes each day or taking a spa day, self-care is a must to tune into your inner happiness.


5. Be Happy over being Right

Ask yourself if winning the argument or making sure someone understands what they did to you is more important than just being content and happy.

Top 5 GMO (Genetically Modified Organisms) Foods

What is GMO? According to World Health Organization "Genetically modified (GM) foods are foods derived from organisms whose genetic material (DNA) has been modified in a way that does not occur naturally, e.g. through the introduction of a gene from a different organism." Most of these foods have been linked to health problems, weight gain, organ issues, and diseases.


1. Soy
On top of this food being a huge estrogen disruptor, almost all soybeans have been genetically modified to be resistant to RoundUp (a common herbicide). 

2. Corn
Half farms in the U.S. use GMO Monsanto seeds that are given to livestock and humans.

3. Canola Oil
Canola comes from rapeseed oil. This oil is the highest chemically altered oil in the U.S. It also has been shown to raise your metabolism.

4. Cotton
This popular product has been linked to many health concerns. The highest concern is cotton oil that is used to make margarine.

5. Milk
According to research 1/5 of dairy cows in the U.S. have been given growth hormones.


How to eliminate your exposure?
Make sure to buy USDA Organic or Local Farms that are chemical free. You can just ask the farmer you are buying from what they put on their foods and in their soil.


Other GMO's to watch out for: Sugar, Aspartame, Zucchini, Yellow Squash, and Papaya.
