Reinventing Yourself

As we are packing up our house to move I stumbled across things from the past-books, journals and pictures. I barely recognize the person in those pictures. So much has changed in the past few years. I went from being a care-free girl that didn’t really have goals or care about much to someone who has SO many goals and cares so much about the path I am on. I went from being someone who was at the mercy of my physician to becoming someone who took responsibility for their health (despite how hard it was at times.) I went from being so miserable and in so much pain to waking up everyday feeling not just good but excited to tackle my day. I went from taking over a dozen medications a day to now managing my symptoms with diet and lifestyle. So the question is how?

What I have realized over the years is that goals are important and changes in behavior are a must to see changes in your life but the real magic happens when you change your identity (reinventing yourself.) I remember when I was really sick and at my rock bottom I started daydreaming/ visualizing what it would look like for me to feel good.

I started asking myself questions like:

  • What does that person do daily that makes her feel so good?
  • Who does that person surround herself with?
  • What does that person eat?
  • What does that person drink?
  • What does that person prioritize?
  • What does that person let go of?

From there I started doing everything my highest self “that person” said to do even when it was really hard at times. In time my life was transformed and the thing is you have the power to do that too. At times when it can be hard to look at the pain and discomfort in our lives it truly is a gift and an invitation for us to go deeper. If you are struggling, I challenge you today to take 10 minutes out of your day and daydream about you living your best life and ask yourself the same questions I listed above. If you are really committed here, do it daily. I do this every night before I go to bed. I call it my designated daydreaming time, and I sure do love it!

 

Lots of love, 

Allianna

    Hi Allianna, Thank you for sharing this with us. You are an inspiration to me. I felt the same way before joining CHA. I knew I had to take control over my life and make changes. I am still making changes today. I take one day at a time and do what I can to stay on my path and heal myself. I use many of your recipes that you post and I wanted to say thank you so much for sharing all your recipes and helping me. I love to cook when I have the time and eating the Autoimmune protocol has helped my body heal each and every day. It is a true blessing to have you and so many others in my life to help me on my journey. Thank you again and many blessings to you.

    Allianna, I too was so sick and taking dozens of medicines. Once I did CHA and learned some of your fun and healthy recipes my life and health changed. Very few medicines, few doctor visits and feel adventurous trying New foods. Thank you for inspiring me.

Hi, I’m Allianna. In my junior year of college I turned to Sarah Ballantyne’s Paleo Protocol and it saved my life. During that time I completely shifted and started to manage my autoimmune disease with food and lifestyle. Since then I have made it my mission to share my clean and real food recipes with you. On Allianna’s Kitchen you can expect to find paleo, Whole30, and AIP recipes as well as things I have learned along the way as my body has healed. I’m so excited to have you here.
