Eat Clean Tip #4: Is Your Food Spiritual?-Part 1

“Is your food spiritual?” Asking this question couldn’t come at a better time than during our 7-Day Eat Clean Celebration!

Something that is spiritual has the ability to consume your mind, override your will, and stir your emotions – in a heart beat. I believe food has the ability to do just that. If you don’t believe me, just mess with someone’s food and watch what happens. It’s like messing with a mother lion feeding her cubs. Take a look!

Amazing what one will do to protect – whether it be your babies or your food!

Your survival instincts kick in just like a mother lion, to the point where…

• Food can be what drives & controls your thought life.
• Food can be used like a drug… in hopes to fill a void in your heart & bring healing.
• Food can even inch its way into that place in your heart – a place reserved for God only.
• Yes, food can be very spiritual.

Is your food spiritual?… Let’s explore!

Today is a perfect day to explore and take inventory of how spiritual food is in our lives. Does it consume our mind, override our will, and stir our emotions?

Do we justifying with each and every bite by saying…

1. I have already eaten one clean meal today (so I am rewarding myself with dessert)!
2. Besides, one piece is not going to hurt.
3. I deserve it (I’ve been working hard all day)!

Oh, and I am sure we could come up with a zillion more thoughts. Remember the meaning of spiritual? Something that consumes our minds, overrides our wills, and stirs our emotions.

Bottom line…

Do you find yourself justifying what you do or do not eat? Do you find that food consumes your mind, overrides your will, and stirs your emotions? Like a roaring lion, are you ready to pounce on anything that comes in-between you and your food?
