Today is Choose-Day Tuesday. I spent a lot of my life sleep walking, unconscious to the beliefs and patterns holding me back. We can only see what we see right? My brains way of trying to keep me safe. Love my brain 🧠 🥰.
The more aware, awake and conscious I am the more I can consciously choose how I want to feel, think and act. Easier said than done on those super hard days.
Today, in the south UK, it is wet, grey and stormy. The weather affects people’s moods, especially in January. I get it 🤗 Today I choose to not let the weather get me down. So I’ve popped on my indoor sunshine to give me a boost. I have also reminded myself that the sun 🌞 is ALWAYS SHINING, sometimes we can’t see it. It reminds me that when we have glum days, better days will come, we just can’t see them (yet). Today I choose to be grateful for the rain because there parts of the world desperately needing it. In the words of the mighty .katie let’s accept the weather and choose to ‘loving as is’. 🌞☔️ 🌈 ⛅️

Wait, how did our society get so backwards when we are so obviously running the show from the start? 🙃😬 Read on…

from :

Human reproduction is commonly portrayed as a gigantic marathon swimming event in which the fastest, fittest s***m wins the race and prize of fertilizing the egg.

Yet another male dominated fantasy about the creation of life.

The notion that human s***m, once ej******ed, begin a frantic race to reach the egg has completely overshadowed the real story of reproduction.

A 2020 study revealed that in fact there is a communication system between the EGG and s***m.

The egg has the ability to repel certain s***m with a molecular mechanism causing them to swim slower and also attract certain s***m by releasing a chemoattractant helping them move faster. Cervical mucus called L- Mucus helps filter out any low quality s***m… boy bye!

In the study Fitzpatrick is quoted "Follicular fluid from one female was better at attracting s***m from one male, while follicular fluid from another female was better at attracting s***m from a different male…. This shows that interactions between human eggs and s***m depend on the specific identity of the women and men involved."

Once SHE makes her choice and the s***m begins to pe*****te the egg, the egg then releases a chemical response that causes all of the other s***m's heads to pop off. Yep, mass decapitation. ⠀

And to keep things in perspective, the male s***m is the smallest cell in the human body while the female egg is the largest, who run the world?

📄:Fitzpatrick, J. L. et al 2020 chemical signals from eggs facilitate cryptic female choice in humans Proc. R. Soc.

P.S. this comment from the original post had me rolling: “There is sufficient population evidence to support that low quality s***m is not being repelled often enough” 😆😂

This is for my recovery community.

I'm EXCITED about this!!

This is an idea that has been nudging me for a while.

I'm putting all my wisdom, knowledge and experience about mental health, nutrition and addiction recovery into action.

I'll be talking about what happens when we add in some nutrients and reduce processed foods.

I'll also be chatting about mindset and sharing my take on sh*t.fm and 'stinking thinking'.

This talk is currently only for my recovery community. I may expand it out to the public next time.

It's been a full couple of weeks with menopause awareness month/week/day.

I'm tired. I've overstretched myself. I haven't been listening to the messages my body has been sending me.

When I'm tired life feels harder. My cuppeth, runneth empty!

🙃 My sense of humour goes AWOL.
🙃 The addiction script pops up and I want to change the way I feel through food, mindless social media, binge-watching TV and over-thinking.
🙃 I focus on what's wrong in life, my attention goes to doom and gloom.
🙃 I want to isolate but feel lonely!
🙃 I nip at my loved ones and make small digs because I'm not great at creating boundaries and then blame others.
🙃 I close down and withdraw yet crave intimacy and connection.
🙃 I feel overwhelmed and want to cancel my plans but then think my life is boring.
🙃 I believe the inner critic's nonsense and lies.
🙃 My go-to phrase is 'What's the point?'
🙃 I ignore the cues to rest but I don't seem to get anything done.
🙃 My well-being and self-care habits disappear.
🙃 Dramatic Diedre (the internal script that wants to make everything a drama) starts chatting nonsense.

Most of the above is the negative script that chatters away in the background. When my energy is good, it's easier for me to choose to ignore it and focus on the positives.

Do you identify with this? Is tiredness a trigger for you? Do you rest enough?

Experience shows me that a few early nights, proper rest while slowing down and listening will have me back feeling great.
