Episode Summary:
In this episode, Samantha shares several factors that complicate our relationship with food and make it difficult to change up our eating habits.
This week we started a whole food reset cleanse in the Pledge community and I wanted to explore our relationship with food and why it can be so difficult to change our routine with it.
Our food is the literal gas in our engine and the building blocks that create the house of our body, but it can easily become another to-do to check off the list each day.
When we’re asked to change what we eat it can bring up SO many emotions for us.
I remember when I was in school to become a Health Coach and even before working for my Chiropractor and discussing how changing what we eat can be the most difficult thing to get someone to do.
I’ve witnessed family members in my own life with chronic disease or scary near death experiences still try to eat the same way that contributed to the situation in the first place.
Einstein says it best, “Doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results is the definition of insanity.”
Many cleanses promoted through mainstream media are very restrictive and often focused predominantly on weight.
They create this looming fear of not being able to follow through perfectly and what if I cheat?
The biggest thing I shared with the ladies this weekend is that it is impossible to cheat on this cleanse.
It is not about doing it with rigidity, but rather discipline and learning to listen.
It is all about conscious choices, noticing our emotions, and being in partnership with our bodies to feel their best!
