What did you eat today? Do you remember? Did you feel anxiety afterwards? How did it taste?

Did you eat on the go or did you sit down? Did you eat nutrient-packed foods?

Are you ready to change your life by being able to answer all these questions and always feel satisfied with the answers?

You know the cliché: You are what you eat is more accurate than ever! It is also true that it can be difficult to change learned behaviors, your taste buds, and your pleasures. There is a price to pay in order to be able to enjoy freedom, health and a lifetime of it. But it is well worth it!

The thing that feels good is that you feel a difference in your Energy, Body, and Soul. That is a positive experience in itself. It is hard work to change everything at once, so allow yourself to change one thing at a time instead. It will not only feel good to do something for yourself, but when the results start appearing, it brings Joy and Excitement!

Here are a few simple things to begin with:

• Drink your water! Make it accessible and easy to remember. Write sticky notes and fill up your reusable water bottles the night before you go to bed … I add lemon, oranges, or fresh berries to give it a little boost!

• Eliminate sugar. Give yourself one day per week to enjoy your favorite sweets, if that works for you. Enjoy that moment thoroughly and choose your foods with conscious care and love for what you put inside of your precious body.

• Sit down and eat. Enjoy mouthfuls. Taste the new food. Do not rush.

• Select produce, fruits, nuts, beans and lentils, and lean meat over fatty meats and processed foods. Taste new flavors. Be open to a whole new culinary experience.

Make a simple small change one week at a time, or even every two weeks. Focus on one thing. Water. Investigate. Experiment. Change. Select. Taste.

Choose what you want your future to look like, and start to change now.

Your whole life experience can change once you just start eating properly. It requires willpower and self-respect to move forward with change, and by reading this you have already made a new decision. One thing at a time. One day at a time.
