Self Love . It all starts with you
This quote beautifully reminds us that self-love is the foundation for transformation. When we nurture our mind, body, and spirit with kindness and care, our energy shifts โ€” and everything around us begins to reflect that. True wellness starts from within, and as we honor ourselves, we create space for deeper balance, beauty, and connection in our lives. Here are some simple steps if your just beginning. We are all in our journey and at different stages . Letโ€™s not compare ourselves to each other as we are all unique. Mirror kindness โ€ข Stand in front of a mirror, look into your own eyes, and say one kind sentence to yourself (for example: โ€œYou are doing your best, and that is enoughโ€). โ€ข Do this once a day, even if it feels awkward; over time it softens self-criticism and builds acceptance. 2. Three things I like โ€ข Take a notebook and list three things you like about yourself (qualities, not just looks). โ€ข Repeat this a few times a week to gently retrain your mind to notice your strengths instead of your flaws. 3. Love-letter journaling โ€ข Write a short โ€œlove letterโ€ to yourself, as if you were your own supportive friend. โ€ข Include appreciation, encouragement, and compassion for what youโ€™ve been through and who you are becoming. 4. Mini self-care pause โ€ข Schedule just 5โ€“10 minutes a day for something that feels nourishing: stretching, breathing, tea, a song you love, or sitting in silence. โ€ข Treat this time as non-negotiable, a small daily act of honoring your own worth. 5. Gentle affirmation practice โ€ข Choose one simple affirmation, like โ€œI am learning to love myself,โ€ and repeat it slowly several times in the morning and at night. โ€ข You can also write it on a sticky note where youโ€™ll see it often, letting it replace some of your old critical thoughts.

The "Complex Carb" That Spikes Blood Sugar Worse Than Table Sugar What sounds like a harmless starch or complex carbohydrate in your protein powder is actually an ultra-processed filler with a glycemic index higher than pure sugar. "Maltodextrin" isn't a whole food, it's an industrially manufactured powder created through extreme chemical and enzymatic processing that strips away all fiber and nutrients, leaving behind a blood-sugar-spiking additive that feeds harmful gut bacteria and promotes metabolic dysfunction. ๐—ช๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ ๐—ฌ๐—ผ๐˜‚'๐—น๐—น ๐—™๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ฑ ๐—ง๐—ต๐—ถ๐˜€ "๐—–๐—ผ๐—บ๐—ฝ๐—น๐—ฒ๐˜… ๐—–๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ฏ" Maltodextrin (listed as maltodextrin, corn maltodextrin, or wheat maltodextrin) is lurking in products throughout your kitchen: โ€ข Protein powders and meal replacement shakes โ€ข Sports drinks and "electrolyte" mixes โ€ข Salad dressings and sauces โ€ข Spice blends and seasoning packets โ€ข Sugar-free and "diet" foods โ€ข Instant puddings and dessert mixes โ€ข Artificial sweetener packets (Splenda, Equal) โ€ข Baked goods and snack bars โ€ข Canned soups and gravies โ€ข Baby formula and infant foods โ€ข Vitamins and supplements โ€ข "Healthy" snack foods and chips ๐—ช๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜ "๐— ๐—ฎ๐—น๐˜๐—ผ๐—ฑ๐—ฒ๐˜…๐˜๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ป" ๐—”๐—ฐ๐˜๐˜‚๐—ฎ๐—น๐—น๐˜† ๐—œ๐˜€ Maltodextrin is an ultra-processed white powder created through extreme industrial processing: The manufacturing process: โ€ข Starts with GMO corn, rice, potato, or wheat starch โ€ข Acid hydrolysis - treating starch with hydrochloric or sulfuric acid โ€ข Enzymatic breakdown - using industrial enzymes to fragment starch chains โ€ข High-temperature processing - extreme heat to break molecular bonds โ€ข Chemical purification - removing residues and impurities โ€ข Spray drying - creating fine white powder What's left is a highly refined carbohydrate with: โ€ข Glycemic index of 105-130 (higher than table sugar at 65) โ€ข Zero fiber - all removed during processing โ€ข Zero nutrients - vitamins and minerals stripped away โ€ข Rapid absorption - hits bloodstream faster than glucose It's essentially pre-digested starch that requires no breakdown, spiking blood sugar instantly.
