Ego Willpower Vs Just Living Your Truth

[Nickyloveslove]

i'm not really sure why i was a little emotional watching this video (outside of me being a waterhead, aka cry baby) but this was so real and honest....today was suppose to be my (bad food day)...but i'm not going to "dishonor" myself, THANK YOU:)~

[80mthomas]

@Nickyloveslove Hey, what ever you decide to do, just be honest with yourself - we do what we perceive will bring us closer to pleasure and further from pain. So the question sometimes is, what do we define as pleasurable and what are we defining as painful. May be what we define as being painful, could actually be exciting, if we choose to see it that way <3

The part when you said that we choose to dishonor ourselves really resonated with me. This not only relates to food choices but also, I feel, relates to those that we choose to surround ourselves with. Toxins come in so many forms...Thanks for the reminder.

[JerryDechant]

I liked you kitty friend, added a bit of lightness to this video. That's the real juice :)

[NewDayDawning2012]

Thanks for another straight-from-the-heart video my friend. Saddened me a little to hear you talk so sincerely about some of the difficulties we all face in trying walk our talk health wise, & see that big chemtrail above your head at 5:02. What are our choices with that? I've had a video on my channel called "Chemtrails ~ They Are Poisoning Our Sky" for over a year now &, despite being of immense importance to our health & spirituality, it has had only 131 views! Willful ignorance? Go figure!

[EarthH2oLuma]

Thanks for your words... yes, it's always a choice to make every instance of our lives.

Even the thoughts we choose can be toxic. My new years resolution is to try to make the

best choice. Can't say I always choose wisely, but as you choose wisely, good choices become a habit. My very best to you and all the nice people here in YouTube.

I got a bad headache last week too, when I started on fruits and veggies again :) Wonderful video!!!

[Samuelthemule]

ever thought about doing a ted talk?

[LauraLadybird]

I've just bought a juicer and started making these wonderful carrot-celery-cucumber juices.

Love it. A great way to start 2012.

By the way, love the cat :)

@Artislife1982 he's very cheecky! lol

[dgmoocher]

Great to see so many people getting on board the health train. Higher consciousness.

[80mthomas]

@dgmoocher yeah it's very encouraging to have such positive feed back, thanks!

[PaintedRavensong]

Eating clean is a constant checks and balances. If I weren't a vegetarian (for the past 22 years) I know I'd have a harder time being good. But, I love sweets. Your new mate there is just adorable!

[80mthomas]

@PaintedRavensong he's cute isn't he, very playful, I was thinking about chocolate chip cookies last night but then I remembered what I've been reading about how we use sweets to fill the gap - I'm looking for other positive things to fill the gap with, it's tough some times but I'm doing ok...

[Kaidachi]

Seems we are on the same track...i was just about to go to the store before i saw this video! I also feel so much better when i eat clean and healthy...but old habits die hard

[80mthomas]

@Kaidachi they do die hard, just think, it'll have a positive impact on your astral projection!

[marscat58]

great video. I'm right there with you.

[80mthomas]

@marscat58 thanks vee :)

[Radakota]

I feel ya man, funny i came across this video while eating the unhealthiest chips ever! Thanks for the wake up call. I'm planning a round two detox and i wont even think of it as that, like you say if i feel excited perhaps I can sustain. Romain

[80mthomas]

@Radakota hey, that's great, good to hear you'll be joining us on the journey to better health and energy..stay in touch and I hope the move goes smoothly for you :)

[danmu]

I'm preparing for a detox in a couple of weeks...you've inspired me to go for it. I can't just yet since I'm in the middle of a move, but once settled, with my juicer unpacked, etc., I'm gonna have some fun. thanks

[mertles02]

excellent video, very honest, i can see your struggling with it a bit but it's very endearing, very real, vulnerability can be a good thing.

[80mthomas]

@mertles02 yeah this one didn't flow like I wanted it to - I almost didn't upload it but the cat made me laugh when I watched it back lol

[mertles02]

@80mthomas i'm glad you uploaded it, it's honest and you inspire by showing that you have challenges as well, you should keep that aspect in your vids cos that's more inspiring to people than someone say who might try to put across they are perfect all the time (not that you have done this but there are some people out there that come across like that).

[kONflictOD]

You can Do It BRo!!! Set the Example. There is so many fun things about eating healthy. When you learn the Positive Effects on the body. And Right now I'm learning to Grow my own Herbs. Your last video was a great way to start my day too. Thanks

[80mthomas]

@kONflictOD hey man, yesterday was a little tough but it's always like that for the first few days, yeah I actually tuck you up on your advice and spent some time yesterday reading a raw food book - it kept me in the zone so I think I'll do the same today, thanks!

[Carnuss]

=D  Health, Wealth, and Love.

[80mthomas]

@Carnuss and to you good Sir :)

[sleepingwhale]

cute kitty!! good videooo i've also been doing the detox, one big plus to eating healthy that i like to remind myself of is how much better i sleep when i eat cleanly!!! (low fat raw food)

[80mthomas]

@sleepingwhale keep on it, I usually find that I become lucid in my dreams more often and don't need as much sleep..here's to clean food all the way!
