Getting ourselves to a healthier place, starts with self-love. We cannot "will" ourselves better, it is with gentle and loving kindness towards ourselves that things will begin to shift. We don't need to go looking for the new diet that claims to have all the answers, we don't need to clear out the cabinets and buy all organic and healthy foods. The change and shift will happen, one moment, one choice at a time. Each day brings with it a new beginning, and if yesterday we were not so kind to ourselves, then the awareness will help us try again. Our health is not a destination, it is a life long process of loving and learning. A chance to offer self love through the food we choose and the food we give to others.
Here are three steps to guide you along and as always, if they don't speak to you, use what does. Self-Love comes in many forms!
First Step:
~ Bring awareness to the food your eating. Not by judging if it's good or bad for you, but enjoy - the color, the taste, the smell. Be aware, as you chew, without distractions, for one meal or one snack.
Second Step:
~ Be thankful for the abundance of choices and places you are able to purchase food.
Third Step
~ Remember when your cooking ( no matter what it is) to cook it with a loving intention.
This is a journey of a lifetime... journey with me as we explore how we can " Love ourselves back to health"
