AMAZING BOOK a must read. Feeling overwhelmed or resigned lately? Doreen covers ways foods, energy, and people are taxing our hormonal systems and creating Dis-ease. Notice that disease is nothing more than not be at ease. Stress can literally kill and there is no greater form of self love than distressing yourself <3⠀
My favourite take away was her suggested Drama detox:⠀

- Overfilling your schedule⠀
- Abusing alcohol or drugs⠀
- Playing violent games⠀
- Listening to aggressive music⠀
- Consuming caffeine, nicotine, or anxiety’s producing simulants⠀
- Saying yes when you really mean to say no⠀
- Procrastinating and getting behind schedule⠀
- Reading celebrity gossip or drama magazines (I am sooo guilty of this )⠀
⠀
Mantra: Right this moment, I choose to abstain from ___ (Insert Drama Stressor)⠀
