[on his role in "Raw" (2008) ] Geoff is great fun for me to play.
Australians are quite relaxed by nature, so this allows me to blow off,a lot of steam.
I found focusing on the positives was really beneficial. I wrote down thoughts about how much better I would feel and look and how much calmer and more present I would be when I could get through the initial phase of wanting sugar and pop out the other side,Respect your body, and look forward to feeling healthy and clean. Your body deserves better than laboratory-made sweetness.
We can change our rewards. It just takes a shift in out thought patterns and being gentle and patient with ourselves. .
