Okay, so technically we still have another week to go in "the holiday season." However, a thought struck me tonight as I felt a bit peckish after a particularly gluttonous day: ultimately, what our bodies crave is healthy food--sometimes we just have to listen really hard to hear the message.
For example, I decided that a cup of tea with milk and a few chocolate covered cherries would be the ultimate Christmas bedtime snack. But as I was waiting for the tea to boil I realized that what I was craving was a black tea without milk or sugar and an orange.
HARK! [well, it is Christmas!]
I think too often we get wrapped up in what we should or should not eat or when we should or should not eat that we often ignore the best authority on what our body needs most: our own body. With the new year on the horizon and thoughts turn to ways to make you healthier, spend some time creating self-awareness about you and your needs. Interestingly enough, one of the main attributes of why those who practice yoga are healthier is that they are more in-tune with what their body needs. Hate yoga? Fine, but find another way to quiet the world around you and tune-in to you.
Happy Holidays!
