turqoise has got only one goal: to grow in faith +

listen to my body (read all 8 entries…)
Untitled 8 months ago

okay, I’m coming back to this goal again.. I can’t accomplish none of my goals without this one. this is the begining and the end of my story.

these days I’ve started focusing on my breathing. every hour or two I inhale and exhale deeply for few times.
this way I get myself connected to my body (otherwise I can totally forget it in what I’m doing at the moment), I become aware of it and I can live in it.
small step, great changes.
I can feel my hunger (or satiety) clearly and those cravings seem like they’ve disappeared. It’s not like I’m a different person, I still have some cravings and have to control myself sometimes – but it happens more and more often that I can stop eating because I’m satisfied and I feel that I had a good, healthy meal which nurtures me, and not stop eating because my brain thinks that I’d eaten enough and I shouldn’t have any more (without any connection to my stomach, without feeling that satisfaction at the end of the meal, still wanting more but forcing myself to stop eating, always having rather unpeaceful relationship with food.. ).

anyway, all those changes have taken place just because I started breathing deeply every now and then, and especially focusing my mind on my breathing at the beginning and during the meal.

...

I want to make this a habit…
makes me feel good in my body, makes me feel healthy and brings peace to my meals, and all the other activities. I feel that I have more and more time, just by breathing, my time goes slower and slower.. wow!

I hope this can also help somebody else:)
