Eat yourself happy!
As much as I love the holiday season and any celebrations that
beautify and celebrate life, those festivities also take their tolls on my body
and mind when it comes food. Overeating of traditional, mostly heavy food is
often the norm and tradition. In addition, winter time is frequently associated
with spending more time indoors, curling up on the sofa with high-carb foods
and too many sugary snacks. In addition, cravings for starchy foods and
chocolate are the worst for me during this time of the year. While it is true
that such food choices often do keep us feel warmer and our tummies filled,
they empty our minds and sadden our souls. However, you can eat yourself happy!
Let me explain.
Since ancient times, metaphysicians have agreed that everything in
and around us is energy. For those not familiar with this, I’ll be happy to
elaborate on this another time. For the time being, just know that every
person, animal, plant, and objects (yes that even includes the chair you are
probably sitting on while you are reading this), are made of energy. Everything
you see around you vibrates at a certain frequency. You vibrate at a specific frequency
as well. Every cell in your body vibrates. Energy is life.
What has this to do with food? Because everything is made of
energy, so is the food that you eat. In particular, it can be said that
colorful fruits and vegetables vibrate on the higher end of the energy scale,
while carbohydrates such as sugar vibrate on the lower scale. When you eat
something, you absorb the energy and vibration of that particular food. This
means that this energy merges with your own energy patterns.
What has this to do with happiness? You can eat yourself happy. Basically,
what it means is this. When you vibrate higher, you are more likely to feel
happier, healthier, more blissful and more loving. The reason is that these emotions
and conditions can be found among higher frequencies, while negative states and
feelings such as disease, depression and sadness, even anger and rage, vibrate
on the lower end of the energy scale. This is exactly how I started to feel a
few weeks ago. Furthermore, in recent weeks, my body has become sluggish and
simply not as fit and strong as it could be.
I know that this condition is from the many comfort foods that I
have enjoyed in recent months. I also know that my body, mind, and soul are literally begging me to feed
them with nourishing, high-vibrating, and healthy food choices again. I love
the feeling of being healthy, fit and happy. Who doesn’t? Therefore, I have
made the decision to go vegan, gluten-free,
and sugar-free as much as possible during
this lent season. My basket is filled with fruits, my fridge with veggies, and
my body, mind, and soul will soon be overflowing
with health and happiness again. I invite you to join me. Eat yourself happy.
In health and happiness,
Love,
Barbara
