Your body clearly tells when you are hungry. It has a language all its own that is a kind of a nudge or at times a push, or even a kick in the gut. At other times, when you are around food, your body will communicate by feeling shut down. Learning to recognize your body’s language will help you to stay tuned in to when to eat and to what's good to eat.
Listening to your body will have it, and you, feeling satisfied and energized.
Tune in to your body language by respecting and feeling it.
Here are ways to stay connected with your body when you eat:
First: Be Tolerant of your whole self- body and mind, by acknowledging that you are trying hard to eat smart for your body. Part of being tolerant is forgiving the past and staying in the present.
Hey- the present is the only thing that exists right now!
Second: Stay Alert by using your 6 senses (see, smell, taste, touch, hear, intuition) when you are around food. A lot of over eating happens because we don’t even notice we are putting food into our body. Being alert you will notice how your body feels when you eat.
Let your intuition work for you.
Trust your intuition the way you trust your ears and eyes. Using your 5 physical senses when you eat takes you away from what you’re thinking and connects you with your body.
Your intuition stays in touch with your mind, body, and your heart to keep your priorities clear.
Third: Stay Determined to follow through with being Tolerant and Alert.
Determination is your commitment to connect with your whole being for eating smart.
Determination is will-power. You have it!
You can rely on following your intuitive truth to create the changes you want.
Don’t wait until your body is screaming at you with gas or bloat pain.
Don’t wait until your body is embarrassing you when you put on your bathing suit or when you’re ready to make love.
Listen to your body.
