The Miss Plunkett Guide To Weight Loss

 

A Low Fat, Low Carbohydrate Diet

Generosity - a nude watercolour by Emma PlunekttI lost a stone (6kg) in six weeks! I like this diet because I get to eat three healthy meals a day and still loose weight. You also get one day off the diet each week to eat what you like. Eat less carbohydrates generally, choose mostly brown rice and definitely no carbs after 6pm. Just forget about bread and pasta altogether. Eat your main meal during the day, when there is plenty of time to burn it off. No sugar and very low fat everything. I find if I can get past all the goodies in the shops then I won’t be tempted from the cupboards at home. Find ways of releasing hidden emotions and thus you will release the appetite and then you’ll find it easier to maintain a healthier weight. (more…)

The Miss Plunkett Guide To Attracting A Magical Partner

Wednesday, January 28th, 2009

Get your love life sorted, so that you can concentrate your energy on being creative, whilst making someone else very happy.

Write A List

Help the Universe along by writing out a list of all the specific qualities you’d like your magical partner to possess. Start by writing, “For the highest good of all concerned, may this or something better happen.” Then start writing your list of the qualities you deem as important, things like: sexy, humourus, fun, spontaneous, stylish, interesting, spiritually advancing, loving, intelligent, considerate, knows him/herself, playful, creative, generous, addiction free, healthy, capable, faithful, vigourous …

You may also like to make a list of all the qualities with which, you wish to possess, to bring yourself up to scratch, so you match your new spouse. Qualities like: clarity, good posture, nice skin, courageous, loving, approachable, fit, pain free body …

Make your lists, then burn them and forget all about it. Lists can be updated at any time, even after several years of being together.

Things To Consider

  • Be aware that you don’t want to be the time waster.
  • Be honest to yourself, do you really want to attract the best possible person or just someone that is half way there, because you are scared or feel unworthy of having the best?
  • Be open and confident that it will happen, there are up to 5 soul mates each for all of us.
  • Take away all the time scales (within a year etc.)
  • If you find that you are afraid of being loved, start by loving yourself up. The more you love yourself, the more others will be able to love you.

Introduction To An Article On Emotional Expression

Thursday, January 22nd, 2009

The following article is about sharing my route out of grief and going towards emotional liberation, it is written from my personal experience.

I think emotional expression is about our whole lives and experiencing fully whats really going on, when we stop regularly to take stock of it all. The abundance we hope for and the reality of our grief that can overwhelm our everyday life if we let it. Unresolved emotions can get in the way of us getting what we really need out of life, which is our joy of life, (more…)

Emotional Centre

Thursday, January 22nd, 2009

Our emotional centre was explained to me like this, by a guy named Shiv. Imagine if you have a piece of string inside your body hanging from the top of your head to your feet. There are lots of things that can take us away from our centre or piece of string, be it drugs, alcohol or shocking experiences. We then need to find our way back to our piece of string, because that is where we truly belong. Alas sometimes we stray too far away from it and, “go off the rails”, as they say and can’t find our way back. (more…)

Dealing With Emotions

Thursday, January 22nd, 2009

I think we could have emotional studies as a subject taught in school, along side combined science and sex education, in there with human biology maybe? What do you think? I suppressed my emotions really well for years, “thick skinned” they called me, “happy go lucky”, nothing seemed to effect or touch me and then one day I exploded, which hurt everyone around me. (more…)

Suicide

Thursday, January 22nd, 2009

If you feel suicidal or feel like killing someone else, I strongly suggest you get your thoughts out in the open, talk about them or write them down, so it’s not just a deep dark festering secret going round and round inside of you. Suicide is a very black and white way of looking at life, self mutilation too, they are very temporary ways of relieving or accessing the pain. There are a million colours between black and white and with each colour is actually another pathway to your destiny, you can always find another way if you look for it. (more…)

Pit Of Despair

Thursday, January 22nd, 2009

Hitting rock bottom and then sinking just that bit lower. We as people sometimes need to do this, in order to process change, pain is our measure of resistance to change. I think in order to really appreciate the good times we sometimes need to take ourselves to our absolute polar opposite limit and beyond. It takes courage to come out of our pit of despair and face the world again because really it’s a very selfish place to be and doesn’t help anyone, least of all ourselves, but shit happens and we find ourselves there once in a while, feeding the black hole that can never be filled, being an energy vampire even though we don’t mean to be.

Change The Record

Thursday, January 22nd, 2009

So what happens if we decide not to fall into the pit of despair? What else could happen? Something will if you give it space. Lets just do something different, for a change then, shall we?

Be conscious of the next wave of emotion that takes you, own it as a special part of you. See it as a unique feeling, so why treat it the same as all the other feelings? Give it some space with no expectations, to be what it is gonna be. Be still, think only of the incident that has triggered the emotion, (more…)

Alternative Therapies

Thursday, January 22nd, 2009

When my life was unbearable, I went to see a homeopath who helped me open the can of worms, which up until then controlled my way of life. After which I became an emotional wreck as my hard exterior failed me, I had a tidal wave of grief to experience before me, it took years to get up to date with all the things I had buried but the new direction my life took left me more space to be my old self again, I started to like me, even to love myself for the first time. That is why I’m writing this, (more…)
