A Vulnerability Post
This is my confession:
While I might currently be thin, one of my deepest and most burdensome habits is that of gluttony. Oh the irony!
This pattern has repeated itself throughout my life in the form of overeating, hoarding, over-buying, over-stimulating, over-doing, over-working, over-thinking, over-analyzing, over-indulging, over-committing...
I have lived an "all or nothing" lifestyle for most of my life and I am ready to change this habit! All good things in moderation!
While this pattern has been seen throughout all aspects of my over-consuming life, lately I've been giving myself permission to over-stuff my body in the name of calories. Because my body is in a temporary state of thinness, I've been allowing myself to indulge in eating as much as I want....But it is at a great cost to my body! Overeating creates so much burden on the digestive system that it is forced to empty itself and any calories that were input now become a negative output as they are not only flushed away, it also costs a great amount of energy (calories) in order for the body to clean up the mess!
This is my proclamation:
I free myself from this pattern of bypassing my body (and mind)!
By trading in gluttony for temperance my body will absorb and build.
By trading in gluttony for temperance my mind will be free from clutter.
By trading in gluttony for temperance my attachment to agenda will release and I will be FREE.
I learn my lesson of moderation in ALL THINGS, beginning with my food intake. I shall eat only what the body requires and is asking for. I shall listen to my body AT ALL TIMES. While I will have intended "soft rules" or guidelines to follow, my body will have the final say about what is put into it and how much. I ask for the wisdom to KNOW what my body needs in each moment and the strength to ACT accordingly. Thank you. Amen. Sat Nam. And so it is!
Wahe Guru!
