I'm so glad that you're here . You are listening to what the fuck did she just say with your host ? That's me , sandra Priestly . I'm all about living our best life and finding our zone of brilliance and then removing the resistance so that we can go all in .
I say random , crazy shit , which is why I called this podcast the way that I did , and I really hate long drawn out intros , so let's fucking go . I went to the acupuncturist yesterday for a treatment session and we were talking . We were talking about a whole bunch of things .
She started talking about how our bodies are naturally acidic , but the more acidic they become , the more cancer cells sort of love that acidic body . I don't even know , actually , what she said leading up to this one point , because it was just mind blowing when she spoke .
She said this is acidic and this is acidic and these things are acidic and thoughts are acidic . And I went , well , wait , what thoughts are acidic ? And she said , well , yeah , and I was just mind blown and so I said , okay , wait a minute . So negative thoughts I could see being acidic .
I mean I was totally going there , even though my thought process is going . How could thoughts be acidic like that ? I mean it was hard for me to grasp but I said , okay , wait a minute . So then would positive thoughts be alkali ? And she said , well , that would make sense , right .
But I do think that she probably meant thoughts can trigger a biological or physiological response that could make the body more acidic , like that's what I think that she was grasping at .
But I love this idea , this concept of thoughts being acidic , because , like then , all of a sudden it's like whoa , I need some more alkali thoughts , like I totally grasped onto this concept . I came back from my appointment and I started to look and and it does talk , like on the research that I found , which was very , very quick .
But you know , it talks about our bodies having this delicate pH balance and when you shift towards a highly acidic body , it definitely like screws up a lot with a lot of your systems . There was an example of how increased acidity in the brain was linked to issues like anxiety and depression . Makes so much sense , right .
And then there was this article or research journal , a journal article in psychology today that talked about how our thoughts directly impact our body's chemistry . So , stressful or negative , stressful thoughts or negative thinking can release cortisol , right .
And so , of course , increased cortisol affects , totally affects our body and also can affect our body's pH balance , making it more acidic . And also , if you have a negative thought which leads to a negative emotion , it can trigger a physical response and that could potentially lead to increased acidity in the body .
So like , while acidic thoughts isn't necessarily mainstream concept , there is evidence that our mental state can influence our body's chemistry , which includes our acidity or alkali levels .
So I wanted to come on here and share this with you because I thought it was just such an interesting concept and I don't want you to be scared of your thoughts , and we did have this conversation too . It was like negative thoughts are okay , negative thoughts are just activations . Negative thoughts are okay to feel .
We do have a natural yin and yang to everything , and that includes negative thoughts .
The problem is , if we spend way more time in the negative way , more time in the fear , in the negative self-talk and wanting to get ourselves out of it , if we want a different life , if we want a healthier life , focus on the positive thoughts as much as you can Recognize , acknowledge the negative ones , because we do have that yin and yang , but don't hang
out there . Don't hang out there and spend all of your time in the negative , in the worry , in the fear , in the even the you know that space where you can get , where it's just like oh , my life sucks , why is this me ? You cannot move forward when you're looking in the rear view mirror .
One of the things that we do in the work in my 90 day challenge we have to focus on mindset . We have to and , to be honest with you , I mean the goal is to do all three things every single day , and that's how we're going to get to our goal . I don't care if you get there in 90 days .
I don't care if you do all three things every single day , but what I do care about are a few things . Number one is I want you to recognize your mindset .
I want you to work on your mindset every single day , because the more that you work on being positive , focusing on clearing out those negative beliefs , focusing on strengthening that mental muscle that we have , the easier the other two aspects of that goal attainment is going to be .
And feeling like shit about not completing a goal is the absolute opposite thing that we want to do in mindset , right , feeling like shit about not being able to continue turns into I'm going to say it an acidic thought , and we don't want acidic thoughts . We want alkali , positive , strengthening thoughts . Have a good day . Thank you so much for listening .
I hope you've had some laughs , maybe some ideas , and that you've been inspired to take some type of action toward the life you've always dreamed of . If you feel so called , I would love it if you would share with your besties and leave a review down below . I look forward to bringing you along on this journey and I will see you in the next episode .
