Count Your Blessings Instead of Calories

Counting calories is downright defeating and depleting. When you focus on what is wrong (needing to lose weight), and what you can’t have (food), you will feel like you are crucifying yourself. This approach is likely to backfire and cause emotional bingeing. After you go overboard, then you will be drowning in shame.

Your body responds best with positive vibes and self-love. Switch your focus to what is right and what you love. When you start counting your blessings your soul will feel filled and you will eat less. Feel gratitude and excitement about food, and your life.

Delete the calorie counting application and embrace journal writing. Buy an inspiring journal and get cozy with yourself. Surrender the desire to be perfect. Write fast and furious to access your intuition. Asking questions evokes a response from your subconscious. You can write out your answers in a list, in paragraph and/or picture form. Allow your answers to come by clearing your mind. There is power in the pause, wait for the deep insights to come out.

Write your heart out by answering these questions:

What am I grateful for?
What healthy food do I love?
When do I feel my best? (What am I doing, who am I with?)
What are my dreams and desires?

After you finish answering those questions, review what you wrote, connecting the dots and “ah ha’s”. Highlight, circle and star what is important. Write a summary with your new perspective and empowered actions. Feel the satisfaction of connection; your soul is no longer starving for attention.

Elicia Miller

Elicia’s own journey toward physical, mental and emotional enlightenment began years ago. Frustrated with traditional doctors and therapists and the lack of results, Elicia researched and tried over 50 detox and healing methods from around the world. This process helped her cure herself of many emotional and chronic health issues, including Systemic Candida, addictions, eating disorders, perfectionism, and more. Today, Elicia firmly understands what it takes to heal the body. She specializes in the emotional connection between the mind and body for self-healing. Elicia works with hundreds of people around the world via Skype who are still suffering after wasting time and money on programs that focus solely on diet and supplements. Elicia also created a Candida eCourse self-study as the culmination of 10 years of her expert-level training, personal healing, and round the globe research distilled into a guided, step-by-step process to address the real root of Candida in just 8-weeks.

Elicia Miller is also the author of the ebook Detox 101 and coauthor of the book One Crazy Broccoli.
