How To Manage Cravings
PART 2
What leads to food cravings?
The brain regions responsible for memory, pleasure, and reward play a role in food cravings. This part of the brain is also directly connected to our traumas and heavy emotions.
We also gotta pay attention to the potential of hormonal imbalances, such as leptin and serotonin. It is also possible that some food cravings may be related to specific foods because the body needs particular nutrients.
So, how can we manage our cravings? Join me LIVE with Cristina Borrero to learn more about how to manage our cravings and join the conversation by submitting your questions.

Mindful Eating - Get To Know Your Body
Mindful Eating is about developing awareness about our experiences, emotions, physical cues, and feelings about food.
Eating too fast, eating when in a stressed state, eating while multitasking, eating on autopilot can all contribute to digestive issues. Essentially our nervous system needs to be in the correct state for digestion to work properly. If we're in a state of Fight or Flight while eating, our #DigestiveSystem may not do what it is supposed to do. If we are #GroceryShopping triggered by our emotions, our brain won’t be able to overcome our hidden loyalties.
#MindfulEating is often overlooked when it comes to digestive issues and potential #triggers. We fail to take into consideration that #Digestion is a complex process that is easily disrupted.
How many of you have been impacted by traveling? Or anxiety of public speaking?
If we are eating while overloaded with stimuli and under stress, our body doesn't know that it's supposed to be digesting. As we drive with a toast in hand or eat lunch in front of a computer screen, or when anxiously worrying about the day or experiencing negative emotions tied to a relationship, the message we are giving our body is "don't digest".
#Mindfulness is a form of meditation. It is the deeper connection we create aligning our true self with our purpose and actions.
Join @CristinaBorroso_ and I, @AlmuCorazon on Tuesdays at 3 PM E.T (NYC) | 8 PM the U.K. | 9 PM SPAIN in my Facebook Group Mindful Growth With AlmuCorazon in the discussion of how to connect with our body to reset, heal and learn from the hidden dynamics lost in our family system.
Together, we will navigate the unknown to unveil what works for us. From nutritional plans, seasonal boosters, body functions, hormonal disorders, and physical improvements. We aim to create a supportive space to ask questions that allow us to break those cycles that keep us in a vortex of heavy emotions.
Hope to see you live!!
Showing Up - 5 Day Free Workshop
This week I want to talk about showing up.
Showing up for myself and for my clients, because there’s magic in the air. Venus is traveling in sultry Scorpio, squares expansive Jupiter in innovative Aquarius today. This transit is great for supporting the good times!
We'll be feeling happy, optimistic, and ready to socialize. All have been happening to me. But also, I am feeling intense pulls at the end of the day, when I am exhausted and can't wait for my kiddos to fall asleep to catch my breath.
Basically, when Venus and Jupiter merge, there’s a window of opportunity that we should never miss. And that is why I put together a 5 DAY FREE WORKSHOP as the most positive planets in astrology, Venus and Jupiter want to show that amidst all the change happening right now, our lucky stars are always here to guide us.
Showing up for me means taking the hit. It means standing there in all our vulnerability and beautifulness and just being in that moment just as we are. Because if being a leader isn't costing us anything (i.e. comfort, fear, popularity) we aren't a leader. Leadership is costly. Leadership is a risk. Leadership is dangerous.
One powerful thing I learned through my trauma and crisis recovery work and my own life experience is that the longer we stand there, in our uncomfortable state, the more times we get up, the more secure we become in our ability to show up and the better grip we have on things we want to let go and on those we want to keep.
I feel parenting has been my most challenging job. For many years while working in crisis management and running my own consulting firm at the same time, I used to sleep no more than 3h a day 24/7 for many years. I thought that was proof of my readiness to have children. But I feel as we age, what was a challenge before is no longer appealing, and what it wasn't it has become a big deal. I feel as if I am restarting myself, rebooting.
That's the magic of life, to stand up and ride we need to be thrashed a

Authentic Talks - Pride Month
When talking about groups of people, it can be difficult to know what language to use. We, humans, categorize each other as a way to describe and assign differences, including differences of race, ethnicity, social class, disability, gender, and sexual orientation. Today's show is about creating awareness around taboos and challenging topics in celebration of mindfulness, inclusion, and acceptance.
Almu Corazon, Founder of ThinkCorazón Digital Talk Show will speak with Julio Vallejo, Jesse Sanchez, and others to bring some light to current important matters affecting the "Pink Economy" a.k.a. "rainbow capitalism," a.k.a the LGBTQ community power. Join the conversation!

Onlime Funnels = Passive Income
A funnel is the journey we take our potential clients on from finding out about us, to purchasing our offer.
✅🔜It follows a basic AIDA formula:
Awareness,
Interest,
Decision,
Action
🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝
In other words 🏗🧱🧭What is an Online Marketing Funnel? It is strategic way of tracking how our marketing efforts guide potential customers through the buying process. Some businesses have incredibly simple marketing funnels: someone clicks on their ad and makes a purchase—end of story. Others, depending on their positioning, have to work it in more steps.
But, hey! Some people will tell us that our business doesn't necessarily need a funnel, they will find many reasons to make us doubt... ⚠️ #BECAREFUL ⛔🚫 WHY? 1) Because in this DNA everyone needs to be visible online in order to engage with clients 2) because as long as we are posting on social media in hopes of generating clients, we already have funnels‼️ Digital platforms are funnels we use to drive people to our business. Again, be careful who you listen to.
Now, when we do not see a healthy return on our online efforts, when we post again and again in hopes to increase our sales and, instead we get crickets. Or we do expand our brand awareness and increase our online community, though we do not see a consistent growth; or, the effort we do to be active online is not balanced with the amount of return we wish to get. That is when we gotta realized we are not using the funnel to our advantage. So is it that we are using the wrong funnel, the wrong strategy or we just have no clue on what's right and wrong when it comes to #OnlineCommunications???
When we feel our current set up is sluggish, our funnel is not converting well enough, we are not getting enough people in our funnel or we are burnt out recycling the same people, unable to move them along to the action stage 📉✅🔟 It is time for an #intervention ⚠️⛔➡️ An #OnlineAudit wil
Self-doubt can be a troubling and persuasive voice that holds us back. Depending on how much we allow our #selfdoubts to take over, these can hold us back from seizing our opportunities. Count on it that #selfdoubt makes getting started or finishing things harder than they need to be.
Sure, it can sometimes be useful as it helps us to soberly see our current limitations or simply recognize a half-baked or bad idea. But mostly, it holds us back in life.
So how can one get around that, how can one overcome those times of self-doubt so that one can move forward once again?
In times of #doubt or #crisis, what helps is not letting the situation, in this case our doubts, to spin out of control or grow from a whisper to a stream of discouraging sentences. Instead of feeling doubt when something "negative" happens, practice saying stop, talk back to that doubtful part of ourselves. Something like: “No, no, no, we are not going down that road again.” By doing so we can disrupt the thought pattern and stop that inner self-doubter from taking over.
Today, practice saying to yourself, "I know I have done all I can to make this a positive experience. I have certainty that in the bigger picture this situation is positive." When you do this, you give darkness no entry into the situation.

New Moon of #Gemini!
#CountingtheOmer Day 45, Sundown May 11 to Sundown May 12, 2021
Today is the energy of #Compassion in #Nobility.
PRACTICE:
Check ourselves today - are we delicate when we should be definite or #judgmental when we should be #gentle?
TONIGHT - New Moon of Gemini!
In astronomy, a new moon marks the first #lunar phase. As a new moon represents the start of a new lunar cycle, it symbolises new beginnings. People use the energy of a new moon to achieve their goals or start on a new project. They also reflect on their old goals and set themselves new ones.
Tonight's new moon is asking for us to be courageous and bold in moving our life forward. Time to revisit our goals and actions. Focusing on the big picture, it is time to ask ourselves if what we are doing is manifesting our full potential.
As life seemingly starts to open up from the outside - we get to make the rules and re-write the things we thought we had to do in order to meet current times.
Time to toss away old vision boards, plans and connections that have dragged out for too long. The new Moon cycle brings new beginings and possibilities. Be open, believe in your potential, invite new ways of action, be unstoppable.
It's time to let our life unfold, the energies are gearing us up for so many changes that will finally feel like "yes - this is it, what I’ve been wanting for so long seems to have legs again”...
Cherish that notion, rest even, however don’t wait...
What we could do during the new moon:
* Be aware, be curious
* Write down intentions
* Practice mindfulness
* Work on a new project, set action plans to make things happen
* Expand our network and experiences
* Take a new moon refresher bath and set healthy routines
* Create sacred space
* Become a positive influencer to others
* Revisit our key performance indicators (KPIs)
* Cultivate empathy and consciousness
Remember, it is time to assess our current efforts, goals and planifications. Acknowled
#CountingtheOmer #WEEK7 Day 44, May 10-11, 2021
Today is the energy of #Discipline in #Nobility.
PRACTICE:
Our speech shapes our life. It influences our thinking and can alter the course of our future.
Allow me to be bold here. Our words are a way of underlining our thoughts and reinforcing them. When our words are harsh, negative, inconsiderate, or judgmental then these are the aspects of our experience that are emphasized. It won’t be long before one have developed the habit of always focusing thoughts on the darker side of life. We know what kind of a person this will turn us into – a miserable, depressing and mean spirited person who sees only the bad and not the good in others or in life.
So yes, let me repeat it — our words are indeed, a reflection of who we are.
Speaking/typing before we think is a bad habit that can get us into trouble and hurt us in the most important areas of our life. Relationships will suffer or end, our online footprint will turned negative, our career will be stalled at a level far below our talents, and most importantly, we will have little #confidence in ourselves.
When we post online before we think about what we are going to say, we do not take the time to consider what words we will use, what these words will mean to another person, or how they will feel about what we are saying. We are also not thinking about what these words say about us as a person or about all of the good things we may be neglecting to focus on.
To break the habit of speaking without thinking one first have to accept the fact that it is up to us to control our tongue and manage our thinking process. We are responsible for our emotions and what comes out of our mouth.
Before telling anyone what we think of them consider three things:
1. Is my criticism true?
2. Do I love the other person genuinely?
3. Will they hear me?
If we can meet these conditions, then speak up. If not then it is better to be silent.

#CountingtheOmer Day 41, Sundown May 7 to Sundown May 8, 2021
Today is the energy of #Bonding in Bonding. When we worry only about ourselves, the #Creator can't come in.
The sense of #belonging is fundamental to the way humankind organizes itself. We are members of families, sporting teams, hobbyists, spiritual groups, charities, cities, nationalities, you get the point. Nearly every aspect of our lives is organized around belonging to something.
We cannot separate the importance of a sense of belonging from our physical and mental health. The social ties that accompany a sense of belonging are a protective factor helping manage #stress. When we feel we have support and are not alone, we often cope more effectively with difficult times in our lives. Coping well with hardships decreases the physical and mental impact of these situations.
Think about it, we begin life with the most crucial of needs: #attachment to a #caregiver. This is the beginning of our fundamental need for belonging. Studies have shown that children who have not achieved a healthy attachment in their young life have lower self-esteem, a more negative worldview, are mistrustful and can have a perception of rejection.
#Depression, #anxiety and suicide are common #mentalhealth #conditions associated with lacking a sense of belonging. These conditions can lead to social behaviors that interfere with an individual’s ability to connect to others, creating a cycle of events which further weakens a sense of belonging.
Here are three tips to increase the sense of belonging in our children and ourselves:
- Make the effort - The most crucial ingredient to building a sense of belonging is effort. One cannot belong if one doesn’t choose to make the effort to engage with others. Put in effort to seek activities and groups of people with whom you share common #interests. Encourage and support your children to join you on the effort and to get involved in bonding.
- Be open minded - Try new activiti
