The Road to Hectors Farm

I am studying nutritional healing with the Nutritional Healing Foundation, which is helping us to stay focused on our new healthy lifestyle. It feels like it is part of the preparation work for Hector’s Farm, which part it will play is yet to be revealed. For the time being it is reminding  us of the bodies innate ability to heal itself and how some foods help and others hinder that process. 

Some days we continue to eat foods that are toxic to the body, introducing the emotional element of food and showing the triggers. Tiredness can make coffee harder to resist, despite knowing that it will increase the feeling of tiredness in the end. When we try to do too much or have too many obligations snipping at our heels, the best of our intentions can implode into stress and irritation, because we cannot catch our breath.

This is where acceptance comes in and the reminder for balance. Eventually our tastes are changing to the healthier food options the more we consume them. Indulgences in a moment of weakness are to be met with kindness and acknowledgement that we are tired, stressed or whatever, simply recognising the triggers rather than meeting it with self flagellation.

We are learning, and remembering to practice what is already known; Acceptance of where we are in the here and now.
