That Nutrition Piece
A lot of people make excuses for not eating healthy because it is more expensive.
In the long run, it is more expensive not to eat well. And by well I mean whole grains, vegetables, good proteins, fruits-local and organic when possible.
Those Dr. Visits and poor health from poor nutrition are costing us collectively and individually more than we can afford.
We are always looking for easier ways to do things; work, meals, time with the kids/family. But these things require our presence, our involvement – our caring. They require our time.
Quality of life is in the time we spend with it. It is also in the thoughts we think. Are your thoughts about nutrition and other parts of your life helping you or are they limiting you?

I have basically made excuses for not eatng healthier because I never really learned how to cook in a healthy way and also because I am really LAZY. I am now changing the cooking scene in my home because I have found a few mentors in my life that will gratefully take me by the hand and actually play show and tell with me on this issue without telling me I am stupid because I don’t know how to complete a receipe. I used to go to some great deli’s and actually buy whatever it was, take it home and put it into my home container and off to a potluck or gathering with my fancy container in hand. I used to hate it when people would ask me for the receipe at one of these potlucks!!!!!!! Blush Blush and change the subject as fast as I could!!!
It’s like all things in our lives that need attention if our will is there to learn. I am starting out slow and asking for guidance from the universe in this area. One of the ways I have sabatoged this area in my life is to tell myself I don’t have the time and money to start this. Well
forum friends………… I don’t have to be perfect and when I actually broke down the fears in this (and other areas in my life) it came back to me that I am in fact NOT WANTING TO CHANGE !!! The older I get the more uncomfortable I am in that CHANGE GROOVE thing and for me this is a control issue I need to look at daily.
Today I am changing for the poisitive in the healthier eating arena because I want to change old habits of eating into healthier choices. The adult kids in my family are noticing these changes also, and this is something I can do for them also. Basically……..YOU CAN TEACH AN OLD DOG NEW TRICKS!
I have more thoughts in these areas and will most likely post them at a later time. Namaste’ April
