My change is to think about why I'm eating before I eat--or even after....
Mindfulness.
Why did I eat three popcorn balls last night?
Was it to provide nutrition for my body? No.
Was it because I was too tired to make healthy choices? Yes.
Was it because I was feeling stressed? Yes.
Was it because I was afraid that I wouldn't get any more popcorn balls until my Dad makes them again next year? Yes.
Why didn't I eat any today?
Because of 1 John 4:18
There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears in not made perfect in love.
As a force-free, fear-free dog trainer, I teach my dogs using positive reinforcement, not fear. Can I learn to live my own life based in Love and not in Fear?
I hope so.
