Food is a STATE changer…
I’m not talking leaving Mississippi to go to Florida!
Food literally changes our internal reality and experience of life.
That’s one of the reasons it’s so hard to let go of it as a coping mechanism.
It’s an incredibly effective state changer.
It can pick you up when you’re feeling tired.
It can relax you if you’re feeling anxious and irritable.
And to be frank, it’s totally fine to use food to change your state SOMETIMES.
If you’re feeling hungry, having food can help you to feel satiated and nourished.
That’s a change in state too! When you’re hungry is a great time to use food to change your state!
The problem is when food is the ONLY state changer that we know, or the only one that works well.
When food is the ONLY thing we know to turn to when things feel challenging, it’s easy to over do it, and we can actually hurt ourselves in the process.
Feeling overly full is NOT a joyful state to be in.
The good news is…there are MANY other state changers.
The more we practice them, the more they become a viable option to turn to when we need to change our state.
These are some of my favorite state changers…
-Meditation/prayer
-Walking in nature
-Singing in any way, even if it’s super loud and off-key
-Dancing in any way, even if it doesn’t look “beautiful” from the outside
-Sleep
-Taking a bath
-Changing scenery…going somewhere different, experiencing something new
-Connecting with a beloved person by talking or hugging
-Listening to music
-Any kind of exercise
What are your favorite non-food state changers?
How and when do you like to use them?
Which one would you like to do more of in your day-to-day life?
