The Elimination Diet is the gold standard for determining food sensitivities, food intolerances and food triggers. It’s a fascinating process filled with some challenges, but mostly triumphs!, like feeling 150% better than before doing it.
I’ve helped hundreds of clients through this process with my 5 step RENEW! Elimination Food Plan, and have come up with some ‘Survival Tips’ to make the process easier.
The veil of hiding may very well be fear, or anger, or of staying the same. It could be the veil of, I’m not good enough, or they don’t like me, or of protection or expectations, or ‘shoulds’. It could be a veil of wishful comparison, or that of not being true to who you are.
Whatever the veil of hiding, they all conceal you from your reality and who you are. These coverings keep you from being seen by those who love and admire you and want to be connected to the true you, because, well, you are loved so deeply.
Sometimes we lose track of who we are, there is so much external noise and pressures. Many of us are feeling lost and potentially disconnected to our authenticity and our real-ness. My Self Care Toolbox is a way I re-connect to myself and my reality and how I can create a moment of stillness to allow me to feel and return to who I am. I open it up and share some of it.
Maybe creating a little Self Care Toolbox for yourself could help you too?

How can you return to loving yourself if you get into the rut of being less than kind to your body, mind and spirit? One way is through journaling. Pen to paper, no one watching, reading, looking, hearing- except you and the scratch of your thoughts.
Need some prompts to help you return to loving yourself? They are in this blog.
