Self-Reflection

At some point in your life, you will pause, and question how you’re spending your time serves your higher purpose. Sure, education, relationship, family, friends, career, house, money, traveling etc. are desirable aspects of our life, but what truly defines us? Is there something else in us still waiting to be manifested? Something that we are supposed to do, express or stand for other than just surviving life and fighting our way through circumstances?

We eat for nourishment. We eat for fuel. We occasionally eat for fun. All these things are good, healthy habits. But how often do we think about these reasons? Sometimes, sure. Maybe after a particularly long run or a sweaty yoga practice I might make a smoothie with some extra protein because I know it will help me recover more quickly, but I don’t often think about how sharing that brownie with a friend over a cup of afternoon tea helps us connect. To be sure, I really don’t think about how my eating habits change in the wake of stress, or during times of transition.
