This one’s a morning entry.
I’m trying something new today. I’m going to imagine an ideal day and go after it. Today I’d like to have an avocado, and a hard boiled egg for my first meal, maybe a tomato too. Then later, a bowl of beautifully seasoned and roasted garden mix.
How have my thoughts about food changed in the last 6 days?
Honestly, what’s taking some getting used to is not so much to do with the vegetarian aspect of this journey. The work is happening here, in these moments. In the time I have had to commit, daily, to thinking about the food I eat, why I eat it, and its overall effect on me. I say this to say, this endeavor itself has turned on its head and challenged me in a way I had not foreseen. I decide the value food has to me. Any change I hope to see in my attitude of food must be intentional.
Every day that I reflect on my meals, attitudes and quirks in these entries, is another day that I realize my role in creating the life I envisage. I am learning to imagine my diet, nutrition and overall wellbeing the way a parent would their child’s. With love, patience, and warm consideration.
