Re: Cammodels: Managing Stress & Self Care
Gotta tighten up my self care game. Since being sick I've been sleeping 12-14 hrs a night, no motivation, and eating junk. I'm still meditating daily but I certainly don't look forward to it.
This has got to stop!
Today I've had blueberries, power greens and salmon plus avocado and kimchi, drank 60 oz water so far. About to meditate soon then STFO for this shift.
I've been slacking on my hrs and it's just making things worse. Time for change.

Do you think that could have anything to do with your kundalini rising?
I ran across a Youtube video sometime week on the symptoms, etc.

That's a good question. In the beginning it was bad with the headaches then that cleared up and I was good even having lots of lucid dreams. Fast forward to a week ago and I've been horrible.
Can you link that vid? I'd really appreciate it.

This is a playlist about Kundalini awakening
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...sbGa8zGsMESRYq
I am looking for the video where he mentions about the symptoms. His channel is really great because he discusses the dark parts of healing and how to navigate through it.
I think this video might be helpful

I had a nasty faryngytis in the begining of january with fever from which i only got better with antibiotics (fro mthe doctor). That time happened before my period, now this one is also before my period ! IT looks like our bodies are super vulnerable before our periods, it is not enogh that we have to deal with the whole thing every month, it also weakens our immune systems.
I just don't want it to be as bad as the first time. This whole stupid weather makes us more prone to colds. Well the weather isn ot stupid, us humans causing global warming are to blame actually.
Rant over, I will keep you posted. I will take manuka honey too trougout the day and see.
Being trough same shit so I took your advice. Hopefully it's gonna work, hehe!!

I'm going to increase portions of veggie spaghetti as it seems to calm me down. I used to only have veggie spaghetti twice a week. Now it's been daily.
I've gotta walk too. Will add this in.

Re: Cammodels: Managing Stress & Self Care
^^^Same here with the food craving. Last night I felt in a funk for some unknown reason and craved comfort food.
I felt like I was about two steps away from going off on regular PSO customer last night- so I took the night off to cool my jets and went to bed early.
I indulged today by taking time to enjoy cooking that comfort food for myself- my meal spaghetti with garlic toast :) I feel better now that I have taken the time out to do it.

Re: Cammodels: Managing Stress & Self Care
^^I think it's important to listen to our bodies. And that's exactly what you did. I love garlic toast or garlic bread. It's been a while since I've had it. Today was really tough and since I streamed a decent amount I'm having buffalo style chicken wings. I think feeding a craving is good a lot of the times.
Been seeing you high up on page 1 Sis. Appears you are killin it :)

Re: Cammodels: Managing Stress & Self Care
^^^ Thank you. The beginning of this week was good for me- then it has just been downhill, but I am hanging in there.
Haven't posted much on here this week. My self care game has not been on point for me this week- but for the most part- my energy has been good.
I have been focusing on getting organized and then brainstorming other ways to generate income aside from streaming.

Re: Cammodels: Managing Stress & Self Care
Just wanted to say thank you to Sha and DigiLuv for discussing "As a Man Thinketh."
It's a book I own and read awhile back. Read it again last night before bed- it was the kick in the pants to get my mind right.
Been a little in a funk the last couple of days.
Much love to you ladies!!!

Re: Cammodels: Managing Stress & Self Care
^^I have to agree. It's short enough to read all the way through and long enough to have an impact. Great way to realign!
Much love Sis!

Re: Cammodels: Managing Stress & Self Care
I'm really just blown away by the power of that meditation I've been engaging in daily now for 47 days. It has literally programmed my subconscious for happiness, peace, and relief.
Today is now day 50 of zero derealization episodes when, for almost 4 years, I was having an episode about 1-3 times a week. This is stupendous. And my anxiety has been so low, despite the slump I'm in, that I do not need anxiety meds.
I can't even. And I'm dealing with stress incredibly well. The last two weeks sales have plummeted and at most I've felt irritated not in a panic. I can manage a bad day and slow times with EFT tapping or a meditation session.
Universe: thank you very much!!!

Re: Cammodels: Managing Stress & Self Care
Im just ALWAYS tired, and never seem to sleep well so i have made a resolution that tomorrow instead of having my second cup of coffee in the morning, I am going to replace it with a Superfood green drink. I have a couple of tubs of Teami Greens Superfood Blend that I bought a while back, may as well put them to use. Anybody here have any experience with green drinks? I hear they can give you energy throughout the day and I figure cutting out some of the caffeine (although there is a little in the powder due to the inclusion of matcha) would help me sleep better at night. When im well rested and full of energy Im so much more positive and productive. Like yesterday I was so rested and full of positive energy and i made high goal, which hasnt happened in a hot minute. Today? Im tired as shit, slept like shit, and camming has been shit.

Re: Cammodels: Managing Stress & Self Care
I joined a gym again last week - managed 3 times a week since then, I love it! it's small and really basic but theres hardly anyone there ever and its nice lifting again - I'm excited to get myself strong again.
I've also been consistently hitting my calorie goal & even tho it's period week (which means I bloat & have excess weight) I'm weighing close to my goal weight :D
eating well & exercising is really helping me not give in to the downward spiral when stress :D

I have had used green drinks a long time ago pre camming days. They do give you a great deal of energy.
Edit: Just looked up that brand- It has some really good key ingredients- wheatgrass, spiriluna,chlorella, and other greens.
Also some greens drinks taste like eh... like grass but will give you powerful energy.

Chicory root powder, girl!! It's same taste/ looks like coffee, but it's much more beneficial and has no caffeine!!
https://www.healthline.com/nutrition...c-fiber-inulin
The doctor reccomended it to my grandma, who has heart disease and diabetes and she has more energy now, than she had with coffee.
Also, it has been reccomended by other doctors, to my friends. So is not a singular case.
I am gonna start drinking too, after I finish all the coffee in the house hahaha :)))

I haven't consumed them, but it sounds like a good idea. I try to eat as clean as possible with lots of protein during the day for energy as sales are usually poor when i'm tired and in a poor mood.

Ha! Well, i dont drive so getting to the store is a chore a lot of times, so getting the fresh greens is more difficult. Plus, im lazy and its easy to mix the green superfood powder lol. I feel great so far. Tomorrow im gonna try to drop down to 1/2 cup of coffee then my drink, bc i dont want to be stupidly hyper all day lol. I started taking supplements for my liver and gall bladder issues and they already have made a big difference in my lady-poops.....if i get any more regular i'll start shitting out organs lmao

Sliding in here :)
What do you put in your green smoothies- If you don't mind sharing?
Been wanting to make green smoothies at home.

I prefer arugula to spinach but I'll buy whichever is priced better at the time.
Quick Energy
Arugula
Cilantro
Celery
Lime juice
Pineapple
Energy Plus Meal Replacement
Arugula
Spinach
Lime Juice
Half Banana
Half an avacado
Sometimes I add agave and/or sea salt to balance the flavor. Apples are another great ingredient for both fiber and sweetening the drink. But I'm allergic to raw apples (cherries too) so I only add those for everyone else.
I like kale too but it's too fibrous and bitter. Depending on where you are, now is about the time to start planting your greens if you want them for the Summer.

Re: Cammodels: Managing Stress & Self Care
Feeling a lot better today. Slept 11 hrs and woke in a great mood. Actually felt motivated to cam.
Have eaten well with 2 cuties and a dish of 2 cage free eggs, 2 cups power greens lightly fried in extra virgin olive oil, kimchi, and half an avocado.
Have drank 62 oz water so far and meditated twice. Once on my reg LOA daily meditation and the other on gratitude.

Attachment 52819
Sales have been dreadful and keeping my vibe up is hard, but I'm still listening to positive affirmations, falling asleep listing off everything I'm grateful for, and visualizing my new life.
Just a couple more weeks and I can start into my business and acquire enough customers to make my exit. Just gotta be patient.
Intent is to stay positive for the next four hours, take breaks when necessary, and be a bad bitch :D

Re: Counting Our Small Wins to Help Us Stay Motivated When Times are Tough!
Facing it: I'm in a slump. So I'll be living in this thread until it picks up.
I haven't had any motivation to cam since sales have been so bad, but today was different. I woke in the best mood, the sun was shining, and I was happy to get on cam. Haven't made much at all, but damn it...I got on and have stayed positive. Major win!!!

Re: Cammodels: Managing Stress & Self Care
Haven't posted here regularly for a minute.
Been focusing on getting my ducks in a row. For some reason when Mercury in retrograde hits- my inner virgo comes out and wants to turn chaos into order.
To keep my mind right been morning journaling and reading books to keep my mindset right. Finished "Positive Energy" by Judith Orloff recently and now rereading "How to Own Your Own Mind" by Napoleon Hill.
Did meal prep today so I can put really in time this weekend.
