I had the most beautiful week in Mexico, eating all the best food and exploring the city on the back of a motorcycle.
When I got to my Air BnB yesterday for a good night’s rest before traveling home to the Caribbean, my body was SO excited for vegetables.
I can’t tell you how good a big lettuce-based salad, fresh tomato bruschetta, and simple veggie soup tasted after a week of very few vegetables.
But it wasn’t a “bad food week” because of that, and I don’t feel like I need to “detox” in any way.
I feel and felt great in my body.
I loved all the outfits I brought.
I had a photo shoot done and I LOVE the photos.
There was a deep feeling of ease, adventure, and pleasure throughout the trip and today.
I took nude self-portraits in the beautiful loft I rented, a spiritual-artistic practice of mine.
This is the intersection of intuition, ease, and self-reverence.
This is intuitive eating.
This is where lots of different foods feel fun and nourishing at different times, because you’re never forcing yourself to eat anything out of fear or restriction.
When salad becomes an “I have to be good!” food, it starts to suck… and salad is delicious.
Refreshing.
Life-giving.
When it’s part of a broader mix within the scope of intuitive eating, you look forward to it.
In this space of ease, your body tell’s you what’s up.
She asks for what she needs, and food + body begin to feel easy again… or maybe for the first time.
But most of us aren’t taught this approach.
We’re taught to analyze, control, restrict, and buckle down to feel good in our bodies.
I thought I had to take that approach to feel good in MY body, for at least a decade of my life, if not nearly 2 decades.
Not only is that approach ineffective, it’s harmful. It backfires.
The tension compounds, and you want to binge or restrict or rebel against yourself in some other way.
It makes food and body feel like a drama film.
Now, my lived truth is everything I’ve shared with you today.
My clients and I are living proof of what’s possible in this area of life… and really in every area of life.
When you unlock freedom with food and in your body, your life opens up.
You have energy and excitement for the things that are most important to you.
Life gets really cool. Truly unlimited.
If my words are speaking to you and intuitive eating is calling to you, I currently have space for 3 private clients.
