One of my most consistent and valuable practices is questioning what I think I know as absolute.

The foods I think work for my body 100% of the time.

What I think I want.

What I believe I want to be doing.

Questioning core beliefs is not for everyone.

But it is for those who consider integrity and growth non-negotiable.

Because the truth is that we are not static.

We are always changing.

The foods that nourish us in the summer, drain us in the winter.

To grow, we must adapt.

Questioning what you think you know as absolute is hard.

It can make you feel unstable.

But once you strengthen your questioning muscle, and get used to shifting, your ability to respond and adapt becomes your strongest anchor.

Your pivots become the very things that keep you grounded.

I used to always think I needed protein for breakfast, warm foods, eggs.

ALWAYS. No matter what.

I had grapefruit and tea the other day, and felt amazing.

I was open to the fact that my body was asking for that.

A lot of people stay stuck.

Married to their way of eating or living, even when it’s no longer supporting them.

They find “the formula,” and they get attached.

Even when it’s not working.

Even when it’s dragging them down.

Because it provides a superficial sense of certainty.


Why do we do this at times?

Because we are not taught to trust ourselves.

We are taught to trust experts, books, and advertisements.

But you know your body best.

Your only true certainty lies within you.

In your ability to shift, adapt, and grow.

To trust the genius of your body.

To serve yourself, for yourself, so that you can serve others from your overflow.

What you can always do, to stay tethered to self, is to question what you think you know as absolute.

To be a yes to your body, to your intuition – which is different than your intellect, and impulses.

To sit with yourself, move with yourself, and trust yourself.

To self-source your power.

And be a measure of one.

Yes?

Lula
