Good morning FS friends
So I'm in the midst of a 90 day virtual food addiction program which ends on Christmas day. Some of the learning is old, much of it is new. The whole loving oneself and being our own best advocate is an alien concept. That we are perfect in the eyes of our creator just as we are, whether fat or skinny. I'm of a generation where it is more of a head down, carry on, be stoic, self is subjugated to family and work. I have always found the current selfie culture a bit odd so this whole idea of loving oneself is a difficult one to internalise. Don't get me wrong, I value my strengths and am thankful that they have served me well in my life so far, but this self love thing is just plain weird (to me).
Incorporating meditation is another tough one. My brain doesn't stop long enough to embrace the moment as in an attempt to be quiet/still, task lists and to dos start running through my head instead. Problematic when one has always been goal oriented. This particular goal seems to be quite elusive. Then again, maybe not. Maybe my way is through gardening. There are times I'm working away, my mind does just drift, not thinking about any particular thing. Gosh, I cannot wait until spring comes.
Have I learned some practical things? Sure, for instance when cravings hit, take 10 deep breaths and see if the urge has passed. Or the whole eating mindfully, savour the flavour, stop when satiation hits.
So, keep on carrying on. Might have to take the course again as there a ton of little snippets that I'm sure could be valuable going forward, and at the moment I'm stuck. Change is hard.
Over and out
