We live in a world where food surrounds us everywhere: the smell of buns from a nearby bakery, burger ads, sweets at the supermarket checkout. It seems that we stopped eating to get full and started eating to distract ourselves, to please ourselves, to eat away stress... Sound familiar?
But someone wise once said:
"I eat to live. I don't live to eat."
And there's a whole philosophy in this phrase. Let's delve into it a little.
🥦 Food is fuel, not the meaning of life
The body is like a car. If you pour everything into it, it will "drive" unevenly.
Healthy food is self-care. It is energy for work, sports, dreams and smiles. When we eat mindfully, our mind becomes clearer, our body becomes lighter, and our life becomes brighter.💡 Mindfulness in eating is self-respect
Eat when you are hungry. Not because you are bored, not because “you need to finish it” or “it’s a shame to throw it away.” Tune in to a dialogue with your body: “Are you really hungry? Or do you want hugs, rest, inspiration?”
Sometimes the desire to eat cake is not an appetite at all, but fatigue or loneliness.
🍰 Pleasure — yes. But without excess
Food should please. But not be the only source of joy.
Allow yourself dessert, but do not turn it into an automatic reaction to a bad mood.
Pleasure is in balance, not in extremes.
🚶‍♀️ Live brightly, so as not to eat away the emptiness
When there is enough movement, goals, love, communication and inspiration in life, we stop hiding behind the refrigerator.
Do what you love. Dance, write, draw, walk, dream. And food will take its rightful place - not on a pedestal, but during a lunch break.
❤️ Food is not an enemy. It just shouldn't be the master
Love for food is wonderful. But let it be a part of life, not its center.
✨ My motto: I eat to live.
To live deliciously, consciously, easily, joyfully.
And you?
