Being In A Mindful Relationship With Food

A client recently asked me how to go about improving her relationship with food.

I love that she sees herself in relationship with food because we all are… And… this is one of my most, best, favoritest topics in the whooooole world. robert-harding-woman-pounding-food-in-village-near-deogarh-rajasthan-state-india1

In one word:  MINDFULNESS!!! that’s how to do it… Be Mindful.

  • In the grocery store.  (do you read labels, think about what you are choosing to put in your body?)
  • When you put your food away. (are your cupboards tidy and respectful of the food you store?)
  • When you prepare food. (are you thinking how blessed you are with such abundance?)
  • When you set your table. (is it an occasion?  Placemats, candle and cloth napkins etc because you deserve it?)
  • When you eat. (do you give thanks? do you honor the hands that grew the food?)

See how practicing mindfulness changes everything?

Brightest Blessings on you and your food.

Your Personal Vibrational Set Point… or… how’s your life working for you?

Good Morning…

When I facilitate a personal growth workshop, I often offer an opportunity for women to look at and assess their contentment on the various aspects of their lives. 1228-pet-smiles

I would like to share this powerful little exercise with you.

On a scale of 1 - 10, with 1 being totally dissatisfied and 10 being completely satisfied, assess your contentment with the way each of these areas of your life are going for you… how are you tending to them? Please note, there are no right or wrong answers…

  1. My Finances
  2. My Body Image
  3. My Intimate Relationships
  4. My Social Life
  5. My Authentic Self Expression
  6. My Spirituality
  7. My Career
  8. My Physical Health
  9. My Emotional Health
  10. My Sense of Community

In a perfect world, you have the potential to enjoy a rating of 10 on each of these aspects right?  If the score you gave yourself is less than desirable on any aspect, you can do something about it… in fact you are the only one who can.

Now…for a deeper awareness…  add up all the scores… this will give you an overall percentage out of a possible score of 100.  This is your general personal vibration set point… this is how you walk through life…this is how much of your potential you are using…

How do you feel about it?  Is it enough for you?  Do you want to make more out of your life experience?

Makes you think doesn’t it?

Please feel free to share your thoughts and comments… I love the feedback…

Brightest Blessings
