When things come together

For years, I have struggled with depression, mental fatigue, extremely low energy and just a general unhappiness or dissatisfaction with my life. Everyone has a traumatic childhood in one way or another. I won't bore you with details here, that's a story for another day. But I've struggled to make peace with the past and let go of some of that past hurt that just needs to heal.

For the past almost 4 years I've been working with Dr. John Wendt to try to heal many of these past traumas using Neuro-Emotional Technique (NET). We've also worked on my diet and balancing my blood sugar; he's done a lot of structural work on my spine; we've worked on goal-setting, positive thinking, etc. He's even gotten me seeing a hypnotherapist, Rachel Mullis Koenigsburg! Each new thing Dr. John has done has been one step closer to feeling like I'm getting better.

I've been eating mainly vegetables and meat for 3 weeks now. No coffee, alcohol, sugar, grains (with the exception of a little rice, and by little I mean I've maybe had about 1 cup of rice total in the last 3 weeks) or dairy. And I'm feeling great! No only physically but mentally and emotionally I'm much clearer. Decisions don't seem so difficult. I don't feel emotionally swept up in other people's drama. If someone treats me like a jerk, then they can go ahead. And if it really messes up my day, I've been able to say so lately. Things that happen that would normally upset me, don't seem to be big deals anymore. It feels like all of the crap that was storing up in my body and brain was weighing me down, clouding my mind and keeping me from feeling happiness.

It's like many pieces of a big puzzle are finally coming together and making a bigger picture that I can begin to understand. I was always on the right path with the work I've been doing with Dr. John. But I had to make the decision to go "all in" and really give the change in diet a chance. I feel like it is having such a positive affect on many areas of my health and I can't emphasize enough that you really "are what you eat." If you eat crap, you're going to feel like crap. If you eat food that's full of vitality, energy and nutrients, you will be full of energy and vitality!

Thinking of how all of these "roads" are coming together for me, I am reminded of this verse from the Bible:

"And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them." Romans 8:28
