Lesson 173: It is Not Normal or...
“It is not normal or necessary for the body to be pure at all times. This is a misbelief. Even for optimum health, this is not required. The body is of the earth, and the body’s highest function is to be able to process what the earth life provides.”
Today we are to think about if we are too restrictive when it comes to our diet and health, and if it serves us well or is it something we create as a form of distraction?
I struggle with keeping a diet because I love different flavoured foods too much. Whenever I am on a diet, I find that it’s restrictive and I honestly can’t cope. I am not the slimmest and don’t claim to be either. I don’t complain about my weight anymore and just accept myself as I am. Sure, I could probably be slimmer but I’m not too worried about it either hey.
I guess I only ever went on a diet to serve others – like I wasn’t good enough if I wasn’t skinny, which just simply isn’t true. I know it would be a good healthy thing to do but I don’t think it actually made me happier in any way, so why was I doing it?
I think for me if I keep walking and dancing, then that levels out what I eat so I don’t stack on too much. I think I agree with Sara Wiseman’s lesson that we don’t have to be “pure” at all times. I think we could do things in moderation and not over indulge.
How much do you do for your health and do you put strict guidelines on yourself?
