A share from autumn cleanse that resonated a lot with the beautiful group so wanted to share here and unshame our distorted relationships with food ❤️…
For me I now know that food has been a way to regulate my nervous system when I’m feeling too much/stretched/overwhelmed/too busy/not taking care of my own needs/unsafe/pushing myself to be around people when I know I need solitude (I’m someone who recharges on their own).
And so these internal parts that speak to me about wanting food, I now see as having a deeper need that I’m only just learning…and building conversation with them to understand my needs and how to meet them whilst still navigating life.
It’s so freeing, and at the same time deeply highlights the fast pace of the world with live in isn’t sustainable for me to thrive. Maybe exist and cope, but not thrive.
How did I get to 40 before realising I have needs that I abandon all of the time because of the beliefs I’ve adopted from this culture 🤯
Very grateful to be uncovering them and beginning to meet them all myself/ask for help meeting them ❤️
