Used to be a regular utterance. It hasn’t gotten much use since I shifted to a mostly whole food, plant based diet… but this phrase has been creeping up in my vocabulary recently. It is winter. It is cold. I am bundled under bulky sweaters rather than slinky bikinis – but yet I find myself judging my body as if it should fit in a bikini. Why?
I am learning to eat with the seasons, with what the earth provides. I am learning to listen to my body & what it wants. I didn’t run during this insanely frigid week in New York. This morning I ate Ezekial Cinnamon Raisin Bread with melted dark chocolate topped with olive oil & a side of banana and peanut butter, it was incredibly delicious.
Winter is a time where fat is necessary. I need it, and I have gained it. Not much – but I feel it. What can you do – but continue to take the next right steps for a glowing, radiant existence.
I am ending my day with a Tumeric Tea and enjoying this next right step.
