Treat Yourself to Something You Made
I want to talk, again, about eating real food and enjoying the heck out of it. I am not one for counting calories (as a cook I love to eat) but I do want to educate people about real food and why it’s so much better…
I am surprised on a daily basis by how confused people are about what to put inside their bodies. Now, I know that most people won’t go my route and start scratch cooking and making their own cleaning and beauty products but I would love to see more people at the grocery store with their carts full of simple, real ingredients instead of boxed meals and 12 packs of soda. The chemicals in packaged foods are way worse for you than, say, an avocado.
It really isn’t that much harder to cook for yourself…or invest in some higher quality prepared foods (it will save you money in doctor’s bills later).
I have actually been thinking that if I pursue the personal cheffing thing more in the future, it will be to create prepared meals for people. My bigger dream is to teach people how to cook healthy, budget friendly meals for themselves…and how to create a healthy pantry of go-to items.
I also want to encourage people to sit down and enjoy their meals instead worrying about what they are putting in their bodies. Food is phenomenal and should be savoured!
A mindful meal can also be a form of meditation where you centre and check in with yourself. Eating this way helps develop your body’s intuition for what it needs and what it won’t tolerate. It’s taken me a while to shift my system into this place but it happened, and it will happen for you if you really want to take the time and make the change.
