Lately, I’ve noticed small shifts in my digestion. Nothing extreme… but just feeling a little heavier, a little slower and a little less clear.
And if I’m being honest, my first response when I notice things are a little off, is not always to be gentle or curious.
My Regina George comes out and I can be judgy, angry and mean to myself! I end up ‘shoulding’ all over myself!
That inner dialogue of ‘I shouldn’t have eaten that’ or ‘I should go to bed sooner etc’ isn’t helpful in my digestion either.
Ayurveda has helped me to shift all of this. Rather than trying to be perfect, which my pitta nature always wants, I lean more into curiousness.
Not ‘what’s wrong with me’ or ‘what did I do wrong’ but rather, ‘what does my body need now’.
For me, it’s about returning to consistent rhythms, sipping on digestive tea, and being more intentional in how I prepare and consume my meals.
Not being perfect, but being conscious.
Also, I know many folks don’t realize when things are a little off… or we ignore it when we are a little off…. But in Ayurveda, noticing things earlier on is really such a gift! We can course correct in the whisper rather than in the yelling.
We’ll talk more about this is my next workshop with Yoga Studio Satya on April 12th! Sign up soon and know if you’ve been feeling a little off, you’re not alone!
