What You Have In Common With Your Wireless (Eating Danger Zone)

I have a new “smart” phone that has an annoyingly short battery life. I’m sure you too have gotten the warning messages letting you know that if you don’t recharge the battery on your various electronic devices, things will stop working very suddenly. All power will shut down and cease functioning.

I believe we come with our own little battery-warning signals but we ignore them or just don’t know how to read them properly.

I was speaking with a client yesterday who was having a day of compulsive eating- and it was really bothering her. This is not unusual among my clients of course. Typically everyone wants to address the food- what should they do about the food? What should they eat instead, etc?

The compulsive eating is your warning-light that your battery is running down. It means your energy is already shutting down, you are already in depletion mode and very vulnerable to wanting to fill up with food. You may be tired, sad, overwhelmed, sick of things whatever.

Personally, I have been feeling incredibly depleted and off since my beloved dog Campbell was killed over 2 weeks ago. I am really just grief-stricken and I have very little energy. I do things to pick myself up- I exercise, go to bed early, talk to loving friends and family- sit in the garden and all of these help me shift temporarily. All good things to do. Personally I am requiring even more than that. I am needing a 4 day weekend to do as little as possible. If I don’t take it, I know that I will look towards trying to find “energy” and comfort through food. That is an old pattern for women in our tribe, right?

Rest and recharging is so essential- lying down on your bed in a quiet room exactly when you feel you don’t have time and can’t afford to is when you must. Your heart and soul and every tissue in your body need the peace and quiet. We are not meant to keep going going going.

If you try you will suffer. You will eat food that you won’t taste and that you’re not really hungry for. That you’ll feel badly about.

Rest. Take time out. Nap. Sit outdoors and watch the clouds.

These things are very very good for you while your battery recharges.

I want that for you.

 

Love and every blessing-
