My heart in a knot

It's a go

My boss finally called me so tomorrow will be my first day of official work since training. What I'm doing tomorrow is still technically training but it's supervised training and my boss will be there with me. One of the things I was worried about was how I was going to function cognitively especially with getting sick and not having beat candida yet. But I have just discovered something that I think I've been missing all along and that is that I haven't been focusing enough on my brain health and what my brain needs to fully function.


I don't like sea food, and I don't eat a lot of meat. How is it that I've never come to this conclusion before that I've been starving my brain of the nutrients it needs? I guess because I was eating fruits and vegetables I assumed that my brain was getting everything that it needed, but I was wrong, and here's how I know I was wrong: today I made a green juice of the following things: avocado, kale, spinach, hemp hearts, and water. Not long after drinking it I started to feel better, it wasn't instant but as the hours went on my thinking and mood improved. I also had an omega 3 supplement this morning which contains the fish part.


I don't understand why this has never occurred to me that my brain needs a boost. My problem is that I rarely get the foods that are best for the brain in my diet, I found an article that has a list of a few of the foods that are best for the brain: https://draxe.com/15-brain-foods-to-boost-focus-and-memory

The first one that they mention, avocado, is a fruit I've never liked, but I was always trying to eat it raw so I was basically doing it wrong. But ever since introducing this into my green juices I notice a difference in my cognitive functioning so it has to be doing something positive.


So I'm making a decision to test this out. I'm going to start eating more avocados, blueberries, omega 3s, beets, coconut oil, eggs, extra virgin olive oil, rosemary, and my regular green vegetables. At this point I don't know how much of these things and how often I will need them in my diet for me to see results so in the beginning I will just play around with servings until I feel the most optimal. I may eventually invest in a juicer instead of my blender, only because months ago when I was investigating this I found that the difference between the blender and the juicer is that the juicer allows for more nutritional value to be left in the end product, the only thing I don't like is all the waste from the foods that get juiced because these parts are the fiber that come along with these foods, so for now I will just use my blender until I can decide on what to do.


I am really hoping that this will be my breakthrough especially now when I am relying so heavily on my memory at this new job. Speaking of this job I am doing a test to see how long it takes them to pay me, I turned in my time sheet on the 1st so I should be paid around the end of this week if not the following. This job has kind of been a headache because they don't have hours and the starting pay isn't that great. I keep on getting upset with myself for not knowing the information that I know now about my health before leaving my old job, I say that because I would of been able to experiment more with different things to see what works for me and keeps me working the best.. but the reality is that I didn't know at the time that my health was the cause of most of the problems I was having at that job, but I can't turn back time I can only look towards the future which starts tomorrow, as of right now I feel so much better than I did this weekend and I feel like I have everything I need to have a good start tomorrow as long as I get some sleep tonight and stay asleep. I go in at 10am which will leave me with some time after work to go to the grocery store and get the items I need to start this new diet mission I'm on.


I can't believe how fast time is going, I'm not where I was hoping to be, at this point I was hoping to at least be working two jobs and on my way to bigger and better things but right now I'm just learning the ropes of this current job and going to try to put in my best effort tomorrow... it really will be the tell all moment. I will come and write about what happens. It's not even that I'm nervous or even excited, I just feel indifferent because I don't know what to expect.


Although I wanted to write this in more detail I think I'll just leave it at that and let whatever happens tomorrow happen, I hope it goes well.
