For the past 45 days I have been on a what feels like an archeological dig, digging away to find truths, that will aid me in making the choices for my healthy and thinner life. There have been many truths that I have uncovered. But by far the one that I uncovered in recent days is the greatest truth. THE NECESSITY TO RETEACH YOURSELF, YOUR LOVELINESS! And the following has been my journaling for today.
This week has been one that has had many an AH HA MOMENT. It began with a session with my mentor coach. I did not know what I wanted to start with when I opened up a conversation with her. But I did have one burning question. Why did I turn to the food source when I was attacked by the tired gremlin? Why was I having problems with respecting myself like a best friend? Believing I had the answer inside me, we talked about what were the possibilities for me to deal with the gremlin in another way. The answers are still working their, way to the surface but the good thing is, I have begun to take a step in the right direction, acknowledging that I need to look at another way of working thru the tiredness. One o f the things I have worked at is to acknowledge that I am tired and treat the emotion, not by hiding behind the food but to give myself the permission to have the emotion, admit to the feeling and deal with it by resting and then moving forward.
Now, the next AH MOMENT came with the reading of an article is which the author of Women, Food and God, Geneen Roth writes “TRUTH, NOT FORCE, DOES THE WORK OF ENDING COMPULSIVE EATING.” The truth shall set you free. Unearthing truths that are inside me is the way that I will continue to make the decision for the healthy life I desire.
The poet Galway Kinnell wrote;
“SOMETIMES IT IS NECESSARY TO RETEACH A THING ITS LOVELINESS”
Today my purpose is to begin to reteach myself, my loveliness. What about you?
Have a beautiful and blessed day, wish you enough.
“and the truth shall set you free!” I love that quote.
I still have trouble sometimes, expressing myself, and it takes me awhile to figure out how to express the feelings the right way, but when I do finally express, I feel like the greatest weight has been lifted from my heart and from my shoulders.
