SUGAR DEFINED 

I was surfing the internet when i saw this which gives rise to this blog:

Earth Day run photo goes viral, creates online uproar over strewn paper cups



The Word 'Earth'

From : Word Web

The 3rd planet from the sun; the planet we live on

I would like to expand the definition of the word 'earth' in this blog:

The word 'earth

The planet we live on.

This planet we live on is here before we were born and it has given all of us equal access to the resources coming from it.

We have to look at a way to align our expression to its expression - to give all equally a means to get the basic necessities we need.

Upon getting our share from these resources the earth provide, we have to find a way to support its upkeep.

It is easy to look at the earth from a subjective view of reality and create a place somewhere out there in our mind - a 'perfect' place to go in the future hoping that one day this will happen, but we are here on earth so what is presented before us is objective reality.  It is commonsensical to see what the problem is and provide a solution. 

 It will benefit all of us to have a sustainable ecosystem. 

To do that, we have to be responsible for the trash we create individually and where they are going, because eventually, they are going to the water, which will be eaten by the marine animals and plants which will eventually come back to our table.

We affect each other because we are all birthed here on earth interacting with each other.

Let's stand for that which will benefit all of us.

SUGAR DEFINED 


What is Self-forgiveness?
It is the process by which an individual forgives oneself for accepting and allowing self to separate from objective reality, releasing positive and negative value judgments such as good or bad, right or wrong, positive or negative - as subjective interpretations of reality regarding something or someone that leads to stability as breath. 

Forgiving Myself In Writing:

I forgive myself that i have accepted and allowed myself to overeat beyond what my body needs - unaware of what food combination will spike my blood sugar, push it down or stabilize it, when attending a family event like  birthdays, anniversaries, holidays or a friend's event and eat tasty food, believing within my mind that since everyone is eating a lot i should also eat a lot and rave about how delicious the food is so the host and my friends will be pleased - unaware of what food really is,  so i can have fun with friends and family,  where within this, i am defining myself by what others do and figuring out in my mind how i can have fun and defining food within taste and entetainment rather than looking at the common sense of supporting the body through what food i take and how much of it i take so the body can have a stable blood sugar and enough nourishment while i enjoy my expression - as who i am, in an event, where friends and family support me for what i do that benefits the body, myself and others - which is what enjoyment is all about, enjoying that which benefits all, which in essence benefits me.

I forgive myself that i have accepted and allowed myself to be defined by what others do rather than see the common sense of eating for nourishment.

I forgive myself that i have accepted and allowed myself to connect this event to a memory of:
1. An event of me eating a lot in 'fiestas' in the Philippines where there's so many food, laughter, fun etc.
2.A story of my dad inviting my mom's relatives in a feast when he was courting her which i connected to true love and which i also connected to fear of not finding someone within fear of being left alone with no one to love me, a subjective view of reality within bias.

Rewriting My Life:

I commit myself to when  i see myself believing that i have to eat more than what my body needs because i want to have fun when attending an event, where i copy what others do rather than see food as what it is (a source of nourishment) and use it for that purpose, in any kind of group event (carnivorous, vegetarian etc.) - I stop -  I breathe. 

Note: 
blood sugar goes up and down even when we are eating fruits only or fasting.

I realize that i am not even aware of when my body have already enough nutrition that it needs when eating while attending these events because i am in my mind thinking about how to maximize the experience of having fun, so, to correct myself and assist the body, I will log my food intake and look at how much food i have to eat when eating in these events,  that will give the body a stable blood sugar rather than spike the body's blood sugar and eat using the data from my sugar log to commonsensically figure out when to stop eating -  either when i eat at home, at a family event, at a fiesta, birthday party,  anniversary, holiday or at a friend's event.

I commit myself to see 'food' for what it is - a substance that can provide nourishment for the body and release the definitions i attached to it  from my mom through a memory that is connected to a fear .

I commit myself to assist in creating a world that gives guaranteed survival for all so all can afford to buy food and other basic necessities to support the body for optimum survival.

SUGAR DEFINED 


What is Self-forgiveness?
It is the process by which an individual forgives oneself for accepting and allowing self to separate from objective reality, releasing positive and negative value judgments such as good or bad, right or wrong, positive or negative - as subjective interpretations of reality regarding something or someone that leads to stability as breath. 

Forgiving Myself In Writing:

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to believe that if i watch a movie in the theatre, i have to buy something like popcorn etc.even when i already ate and eat with the one i am with while watching, otherwise the experience will not be enjoyable and it will defeat the purpose of going there - which is to be entertained, rather than looking at what nutrition the body can get from the popcorn for example (or any food item) and having a log, know what food gives me a stable blood glucose so that i can assist the body and be able to eat with commonsense and use food to give the body nourishment that it needs.


Rewriting My Life:

I commit myself to when i see myself believe that i have to buy and eat  popcorn even when i already ate for my husband and I to be entertained when watching the movie - I stop, breathe and realize that I have to use food  according to what it is - which is a substance used as a source of nourishment.

I realize that i am wanting entertainment because i connected it with a memory of me being entertained before and therefore have defined it within bias - where i connected it to a memory of when my great grandmother gave me a coconut sweet while playing around the house which i also connected to the  fear of not being entertained by food, people, event or any external stimulant within a subjective view of reality - within bias.

I commit myself to rather than seek being entertained by the the taste of food and the movies, see food objectively and use it for what it is intended for.

Word Web:

Food 

Any solid substance (as opposed to liquid) that is used as a source of nourishment

I commit myself to make sure i am clear within myself before i say or write the word ' food'.

I commit myself to assist in making a world that truly honors life so all can get the basic necessities to survive - including food to help the body survive optimally.

Expanding The Word 'Birthday'







According to the Word Web:

Birth is:
Event of being born

Day is:
A day assigned to a particular purpose or observance

Phoenetics
B-e 'I' as ea-RTH DAY

My Expanded Definition of the word 'Birthday':

The day that I was born as the breath in a body, where i breathe the breath of Life, realizing that i am part of the whole that is Life, and within that, a decision is made to stand for what is best for all life - the eartth, humans, plants, animals etc. 

The decision to assist in providing all a means to live life in dignity, where all can get the basic necessities they need to survive so all can enjoy life is commonsensical.

SELF-FORGIVENESS FOR MENTAL HEALTH: BLOOD SUGAR
Sugar
n.
An essential structural component of living cells and source of energy for animals; includes simple sugars with small molecules as well as macromolecular substances; classified according to the number of monosaccharide groups they contain.


My Expanded Definition:
Sugar
An essential structural component of living cells and source of energy for animals; includes simple sugars with small molecules as well as macromolecular substances; classified according to the number of monosaccharide groups they contain;

The energy we take from food is for the body's use.  When we use this energy and convert it to mind energy, this depletes the body of energy going to the cells, so releasing mind chatter based on value judgments  (ex. good and bad)  that uses mental energy is commonsensical. This can conserve  energy that can aid in the proper functioning of the cell.

We have to make sure also that all of us have means to get food for the body so we have enough energy for our body's optimum survival

Forgiving Myself In Writing:

I forgive myself that i have accepted and allowed myself to believe that it is bad and scary to be old, and believe that only old people and people with diabetes should monitor their blood sugar levels because when their blood sugar level goes up, they can die - where my decisions are fueled by fear of being old, sickness and death, so instead of looking at releasing the fear, i ran after health and longevity using food to make me look young and feel young through getting into a vegetarian diet, vegan diet, 'raw food/living food' diet, paleo diet, ketogenic diet, the zone diet etc. instead of releasing the fear and logging my daily food intake, sugar intake etc. and aligning my food intake to what will support the body optimally as per my own investigation of how my body works and the feedback it gives me according to what food i eat.

I forgive myself that i have accepted and allowed myself to believe that only diabetics should monitor the blood glucose levels because they are old and they may die when their blood glucose level goes up and down, instead of realizing that since i am the breath within my body, and seeing that the body is supporting me to move and express myself in this world, it is my responsibility to be aware of what is going on in my body, what food i am taking, how much sugar is going into my blood etc. so i can assist the body in regulating blood sugar levels.

Rewriting My Life:

I commit myself to instead of running after what i desire in terms of health and longevity based from information given by others, learn to question those, do an unbiased investigation, look at my definition of the word 'sugar' and correct myself when i see that i am defining it within bias and instead of doing that, expand the definition to align to my expression of myself, log my sugar intake and be aware of how much sugar goes into my body (which will eventually go into my blood) then adjust my sugar intake to what will support the body to maintain balance - homeostasis for optimum survival.


Word Web:
Sugar

I commit myself to accept and allow me to develop an equal and one relationship with food and the body through taking self-responsibility.

I commit myself to assist in creating a world that supports dignified life for all, where everyone is able to get the the basic necessities to survive and means to buy food that will support the body to survive optimally

Quote:
The internal movies we make to entertain us in our mind which we have internal conversations about, both positive and negative, can lead to psychological ups and downs or psychological stress which can eventually lead to disease  - June Roca

I forgive myself that i have accepted and allowed myself to connect pictures in my mind of events in the past and create a motion picture that i imagine in my mind of how the old lady with psoriasis suffered and inflate it to the point where i see her as an inferior member of the community and so dread having psoriasis.

I forgive myself that i have accepted and allowed myself to connect the picture of a relative who had a disease where tumors appeared in her body distorting her figure which i imagined in my mind as a form of a dreaded disease where one gets ostracized in the community because one becomes so ugly due to a disease and then projecting an inflated reality of what i see into the future so that i live the future in the present instead of being here as breath in every moment and look at how the body's energy is taken away/depleted through the use of mental energy as i imagine within my mind.

I forgive myself that i have accepted and allowed myself to connect the picture of poor children that walk without slippers with torn shirts and dirty faces in the Philippines to fear of death, disease, pain and suffering and then create a moving picture of it in my mind that i always replay whenever i see people who are sick .

I commit myself to bring myself back here in physical reality when i see myself replaying a series of pictures in my mind which are snapshots of real people etc. that i perceived in the past which i have interpreted within my mind based on positive and negative judgments, beliefs etc. therefore mostly inflated interpretations of reality and realize that if i do this, the body will suffer because the energy i use in my mind to produce and direct this movie of which i have internal conversations about is taken from the body, so just like a laptop plugged into a socket on the wall, where electricity runs giving power to the laptop, i am taking the energy i am giving the body through nutrition from the food i eat, and misusing it to produce and direct this movie i am watching and having conversations about in my mind which creates weakness in the body that leads to disease and instead of blaming the bacteria/virus in my mind, i will take it all back to myself and change my starting point from fear of the bacteria/virus, to embracing it as a part of me - as life.

I commit myself to assist in making a world where survival is guaranteed for all where my environment is supporting my process of self-perfection.
