We all claim to want to be happy. Happiness is part of the dream, isn’t it? That moment of triumph when you feel a level of success at your “whatever”. When everything falls into place so that you get to bask in the glow of your awesomeness. It’s what is supposed to be driving us all. But if you grew up in an environment that was less than ideal struggling just to keep focused, how do you learn what “being happy” actually means? I realize that I have met quite a few Negative Energy Addicts…being a former addict myself. Yup. “My name is Kelly Keelo and I am a Negative Energy Addict….Heyyy Everyone.”  I realized several years ago my addiction by paying attention to my thoughts. If my mind was left to its own devices, its conversations with me were pretty harsh. It told me what I wasn’t doing. who didn’t like or love me, all the potential problems that could possibly happen, and how ugly the world was. And I wondered, why does my mind come back to that pattern over and over again? Why was I choosing (even when everything was going well) to focus on what was wrong?

My lessons have led me to find that many of the my life style choices aided in my lack of focus and negative perspective. Some were mental, some physical, and others spiritual. I realized through my own personal growth, research, study and the many detox consultations that I have handled over the 4 years since opening my lifestyle brand Juice Hugger LLC., that many of my happiness issues could be linked to life style choices I thought were healthy based on the information I’d grown up on. That information as it turns out, was inaccurate. I have many clients who come into my cafe regularly touting how “healthy” they eat – but most are eating things that are harmful to them without even knowing it. I believe that in many ways, in this country specifically, we are actually trained to fail. The information we are provided, the media that we are exposed to, and the life style that is held up as ideal, is often counter intuitive to the needs and desires that will make us feel whole. Many of us are living in a hamster wheel, constantly running but getting no where. But then, somebody needs to be the “other 99%”....
