I am feeing very nurtured right now. My bedroom windows are open and there is a slight breeze. I can hear the birds sing and the crickets chirp. The air is fresh and I am at peace. This morning I worked out at Go Primal Fitness with my friends. We had good conversation and a really tough workout. The kind that leaves you feeling really strong when it's over. I came home and made myself a yummy smoothie, packed with fruits and veggies.
This led me to check in and notice that I really feel good inside.
I haven't had an alcoholic beverage in about 5 weeks now. I don't drink much anymore, but when I do I have trouble sleeping and feel a little funky inside, and along with that comes guilt over drinking which troubles my mind. In addition I have been doing alot of cooking and eating really fresh foods. All I ever drink is water (and the occasional tea), and I have increased my intake over the past few weeks. I have totally cut down on sugar, and when I have eaten it I have done so in a mindful way, knowing that it was totally appropriate for me at the time. There is so much more satisfaction in that then just popping it like a drug at all times.
I have been playing with food for a few years now. Playing in the way of noticing how I am affected by it. I have gone up and down rollercoasters with my moods, emotions, and digestive system as I have played this game of food experimentation. It truly is amazing and true how each thing that I put into my body has an overall effect on my entire system. When the digestion is going hay-wire, you can bet so is the nervous system, mind, and your attitude towards life.
The more happy and peaceful my digestive system is, the more nurtured I am by my foods, the more happy and peaceful I am overall. What a concept.
Love,
Lisa
