#012 We have increasingly become detached from where our food comes from and how it’s been prepared. The transition has been very favorable to the food industry at the expense of our health. The current state of our food system has made it imperative to reevaluate our relationship with food. We can start with our current attitude toward preparing the food we consume ourselves. This episode explores our relationship with food and food preparation.Invitation to MasteryHow much do you argue for your limitations? What excuses do you have for why you don’t have the money or time to eat healthy? The following exercises will bring awareness to truths that exist in opposition to your rationalizations.Free Time Inventory: For the next 7 days, track how much time you spend doing things that do not align with your dreams, goals, or values. Examples include: social media, streaming services/TV, watching sports, daydreaming, thinking about/dreading the things you need to do, or shopping online for things you don’t need. Be brutally honest with yourself and diligently track every minute. Total the amount for each day. As you track your time, be mindful of thoughts like: “I deserve this”, “ten minutes won’t hurt”, or “just this once…” etc.Grocery budget: Track how much you spend on everything you consume over a 7 day period. This includes drinks (energy drinks/coffee/bottled water), snacks, candy, tobacco, alcohol, and eating out - in addition to groceries. Once you've tracked the daily totals, add each day's total to find your weekly total. This is the amount that you currently have to spend on healthy food. You may be surprised by the number.Take the amount calculated in step one and place that much cash in an envelope. Plan your meals for the week and ensure you stay within the amount within your envelope (your budget).Avoid purchasing anything that’s not part of your plan. Yes, that means that eventually you’ll need to eliminate energy drinks, purchased coffee drinks, bottled water, snacks, candy, tobacco, alcohol, or eating out. Start small and gradually eliminate the foods and substances that do not align with your dreams.Tell me how this week's challenge went: Saturday 5/07/22 @ 3:00 pm PSTCheck out the blog: Your Relationship with NourishmentDownload your free guide to setting meaningful intentions that can change your life.
