I began an Ayurvedic eating plan a few weeks ago with the belief that it will alleviate some of the nagging health issues I am experiencing.
The eating plan started with an evaluation of my current diet and health and then I started the cleanse. I ate more good food during that 3 weeks than I have eaten in a long time!
But this experience brought up a question:
Why are we so focused on eating healthy, but we ingest toxic thoughts all day long without hesitation.
We take in, repeat, relive and incorporate those toxic thoughts daily. If they were food – grease, processed food, salt – we would say no, that’s not healthy for me, and make a better choice.
But toxic thoughts? Anger, resentment, fear, frustration – those we just happily ingest day after day and don’t think they have any effect on our health.
What if those thoughts are just as unhealthy as some foods? They can cause physical illness and pain, prevent us from connecting with loved ones, and chip away at our humanity.
I know I’m even more aware of those toxic thoughts creeping into my mind now, and more excited than ever to say NO to them. How about you?
Just some food for thought 😉 today.
