If your emotions and self-talk from today were turned into a meal, what would it look or taste like? Would it be a thick stew of anger and self-doubt? A light and nourishing soup of trust and self-kindness? A variety platter filled with surprise, joy, fear and confusion?
We go about our days with an endless train of thoughts and emotions. Sometimes, without realising, we may be indulging in some thoughts more than others. For example, someone may have said something hurtful a year ago and we are still choosing to indulge in the anger, thinking of all the comebacks we could have said. We all do it at times but it really does not serve us.
In our last newsletter, we designed an exploration that helps us see which emotions and thoughts we may be overindulging in so we can bring awareness to their purpose - do they nourish or drain us? The idea is to get clear on what ‘ingredients’ (i.e: thoughts and self-talk) we want to nourish ourselves with, and how, with practice every day, we can get better at cooking up a satisfying and kind bowl of emotional nourishment.
