without realizing it – for the majority of this life experience, i struggled with over-eating, over-indulging & unconscious eating patterns that perpetuated many of the illnesses & dis-eases that limited me for years! over the years food became an escape – a cure for boredom, a reward for any celebration, a way to ignore/mask feelings, a self-sabotage tool along with many others. the most prominent one was using food as a reinforcer for the limiting belief of lack/poverty mindset. check out this blog post where i go into all of these more!
i can remember several times where i was triggered by whatever was happening around me & then turned to overeating as a way to cope – now i get to remind myself daily to observe rather than absorb all that is happening around me.
however, everything in DIVINE timing really – as i became a disciple of the 108 Divine Circle of the wonderful Master Sri Akarshana (MSA) february 27, 2022 - & was introduced to what is referred to as CONSCIOUS EATING. this was of course a completely new notion to me - & it really took being introduced to this to realize that i had developed a terribly toxic relationship with food!
this is a constant, daily practice to do WITH INTENTION – now i am re-learning that i can sit, give thanks for my food & enjoy my food rather than eating mindlessly with endless distractions. years of mindless eating led to overeating as i was not connected to my body or listening to its cues!
this lifestyle practice is saving my life daily – to be honest, i still falter here & there where i may be caught up with so many “things” to do – but i am learning to slow down more & more daily & for this I GIVE THANKS!
