We also get nourishment from non food sources, like the relationships in our lives, our career or hobbies, physical activity and spirituality. Lovers thrive on the pure bliss and peace they are experiencing, while passionate entrepreneurs are fueled by their work. The excitement and rapture of daily life can feed us more than food. Can you remember being deeply in love?
.. Everything is light and warm, colors are vivid, and life is full of joy. You’re high on your lover’s presence, sustained and exhilarated by the blissful connection. You float on air, and food becomes secondary. Think back to a time when you were involved in an exciting work project. You believed in what you were doing whole-heartedly and felt confident and stimulated. Time stopped and the outside world was muted – food was an afterthought. Now recall a time you were depressed or experiencing low self-esteem – you were starving for nourishment. No matter how much you ate, you never felt satisfied. The need for love, power, or mere acknowledgement drove the desire for excess food.
The more nourishment we give ourselves in all aspects of our lives, the more we thrive and heal.
