The Beginning of My Journey

There were moments in my past where life's busyness turned eating into a mere act of necessity. I was juggling work, my business, family, and household tasks, often skipping meals or opting for convenience over nutrition. My husband often had to remind me to eat. I was skilled in prioritizing everyone else's needs above my own, and my eating habits reflected that.

Slowly, I began to make small changes, like choosing herbal teas for digestion and replacing sugary snacks with fruits. Fruits naturally satisfy our sugar cravings with healthy benefits. Over time, I noticed significant changes—more energy, clearer skin, and an even mood.

Why Food Matters in Self-Care

Food is one of the simplest paths to self-care, yet often overlooked due to its simplicity. What we eat impacts everything. The saying "garbage in, garbage out" holds true—what you consume affects your overall wellbeing. We need to nourish our bodies intentionally with foods that support our health.

Everyday Healing Foods

Let’s explore some healing foods. Leafy greens like spinach and kale are nutrient powerhouses, detoxifying our bodies. Stress also plays a role in our digestion, and easing stress can help our bodies metabolize better. Sweet cravings? Consider berries—blueberries and strawberries are loaded with inflammation-fighting antioxidants. If you struggle to enjoy blueberries, opt for strawberries or both if you like them. Nuts and seeds such as almonds, chia seeds, and flax seeds are great energy and digestion boosters. Herbal teas, like chamomile and peppermint, are excellent for gut health.

Eating With Intention

It's not just about what we eat, but how we eat. When I discovered Stephanie Perry, she ignited a passion in me for intentional eating. On her travels, restaurant staff encouraged her to sit and enjoy her meals, a foreign concept in our fast-paced culture. In the U.S., the hurried lifestyle often diminishes mealtime to rushed, distracted consumption. Let's change that by savoring the textures and flavors of our meals. Listen to your body—eat when you're truly hungry, not out of habit.

 Starting Small

Major changes can be overwhelming, so start small. Consider incorporating one or two new habits, like a morning green smoothie or swapping sugary drinks for herbal teas. Build gradually. This journey is about nourishing change, and every small step matters.

I hope this serves as inspiration to begin your own journey towards mindful eating and self-care. Share your thoughts in the comments. Does this resonate with you?
