Mental Health Matters: Tiny Tip 11
Moments of Meditation: Your Food is Your Blood to Life’s Flood
Food greatly affects how we can feel. A sweet delight can help us back in the moon in the moment, but it’s important to understand how we aim to balance our intake to maximize our output.
Sugar may be the ultimate instant gratifaction, but it’s also eternal starvation from clarification. If we rely on it too much, we become trapped into poisionous comfort. In our bliss, we lose what makes us blessed. We give up our sanity for some extra vanity.
But if we can control how we want to feel energized, in ways which secure our short term and boost our long term, we’ll feel full and fulfilled all the more.
So, if we want sweets, we can imagine or smell the food. That alone can make us feel like we’re settling our cravings with some kind of answer, while we look for a king that becomes the pillar to our every disaster.
If we’re ever unsure about how much to eat, one simple way is to chew longer. Not only will this help in disgestion, but it also helps with the realization of when our stomach has reached completion.
