Posted on March 14th, 2018 | Annie | Leave a comment A number of us are guilty of not paying much attention to our vibrational frequency. Many people just aren’t aware of the affect it can have on our overall wellbeing.The science bit!Everything is made up, of a bunch of atoms, floating around in time and space, mostly surrounded by air. These atoms are in a constant state of motion. That includes all of the atoms inside us humans. Everything that manifests itself into your life, is brought about by matching the vibrations of our thoughts/words/deeds along with our physical bodies.So, that being said, what can we do to optimise our personal vibrational frequencies, in order to manifest optimal experiences for our overall health and wellbeing?There are a few simple measures you can take towards starting this process. Quite a few may seem obvious and require little or no effort. Others may need a little more time and research on your own part.Acts of kindnessYou don’t have to run off to Africa to build a school or give all your life savings to Cats Protection!! You could do that, but start small. Smile! A simple smile to people may mean nothing to you, it may mean everything to a stranger.MindfulnessBe conscious of your thoughts/words/deeds. Everything you say, think or feel manifests into your reality. Try finding one beautiful thing everyday that made you smile and write it down.MeditateThose who say they have no time to meditate, often need it the most! Just 10 minutes per day can have amazing results on your state of mind and raise your vibration profoundly. Never meditated? don’t know where to start? Find some short, guided meditations on YouTube that resonate with you.ExerciseThat word can strike fear into the heart of many. Visions of sweating away at a gym, red faced, gasping for air, clad in lycra? Again start small. Put on a YouTube video of your favourite band, play music while doing housework, ironing, gardening etc. Boogie about inside your own home and while you’re at it, why not sing? SING SING SING! at the top of your lungs, who cares if you are terrible, who cares if you are out of tune? It does you good.Another excellent, beneficial practice is yoga. Also terrifying thought right? Not necessarily. There are gentle yoga classes suitable for all ages and abilities, even if you have limited mobility or health issues, they can be adapted to suit your needs.

Clean eating, is a phrase bandied about a lot. But what does it actually mean in real terms? Clean eating is simply choosing foods that are as natural as possible with minimum processing.Here are a few simple changes you can make to your eating habits.Cut down on processed foods They are loaded with chemicals and preservatives and often contain ingredients that have been sprayed with pesticides. These foods are digested much more quickly that wholefood equivalents and therefore lead to weight gain.Cut out or limit alcohol consumption Alcohol is empty calories, has no nutritional value and leads to numerous health problems.Drink more water Water should be your first choice of drink throughout the day. Most of us are more dehydrated than we realise. Choose good quality bottled water, avoiding bottles that contain BPA (which is a manmade chemical found in plastic, that can seep into the water and disrupt the endocrine system, which regulates all your hormones) Or purchase a water filter.Tap water also contains unwanted chemicals and additions.Pay more attention to labels Know what you are putting into your body. Google the funny names and science sounding big words! Educate yourself as to what the law permits in the food industry. You will be surprised (probably horrified) at some of the ingredients. Trust your own intuition as to what you feel comfortable eating. What will make you feel good later?MeatCutting out meat completely would be the ideal situation. If you do however choose to eat meat, opt for locally sourced, free range or organic. While this doesn’t necessairly ensure that the animal has been well kept and managed, its marginally better that the mass produced, intensively farmed alternative.Unrefined grains Quinoa, wild rice, oats etc are far superior and much better for your health than their refined counterparts. Again, always check labels.Fruit and veg We all know about our 5 per day, right? Yet only one in four of us are actually eating them. It doesnt have to be as difficult and time consuming as you think. Remember its 5 fruit AND veg. One protion is only 75g, which is about the amount you can fit in one cupped hand. If you are making your main meal, chop up loads of yummy stuff and throw it in! Celery, carrots, courgettes, mushrooms, tomatoes, onions, even tinned veg counts. You’ll soon be at your quota.Sugar Watch out for hidden sugar. There is far too much sugar in the average adult diet. Statistics have shown that it is up to 4x the reccomended amount. Natural sugars, like the fructose found in fruit and lactose in milk etc, should be enough for our bodies. However, it’s the processed refined sugar that sneaks in undetected. Agiain, check labels. We expect to find sugar in sweet treats and deserts but a lot of savory foods contain it too. Especially pre-made sauces etc.The environment Consider the impact of your choices on the environment. Look into where your food comes from. Is it locally sourced, sustainably farmed? This sounds like a weird one, but it is important.Sodium AKA salt. As with sugar, we consume far too much salt. As before, cutting back on processed food will help. If you do use extra salt, switch to good quality sea salt or pink Himalayan salt. these both contain trace element vitamins and minerals. Basic table salt is heavily processed and has no nutritional value. It too has been linked to several serious health problems. Notably, increasing blood pressure. Use that do de-ice your drive!In conclusionAll this may sound like a lot of crazy “hippy” nonsense to some. Others are already reaping the benefits of the changes they have made. My advice is, give it a try. One small step at a time. Build up gradually. Self love is where the healing begins. You deserve to be loved. Begin by loving yourself enough to raise your vibration. You deserve to be the best, most fabulous version of yourself.If you would like a more in depth guide towards leading a healthy, happy life, check out my book.
