Transcript
- Sarahn Says: Hello, beautiful people. Today is September the 2nd, and today's calendar challenge is eat food that gives you energy. Our theme for the month of September is nourish yourself. Let this month be a time of restoration, gentleness, and self-tending. Find just enough joy in September by feeding your body, mind, and spirit with what sustains you and saying no to what drains you. September is a reset and we are resetting. One of the best ways that we can reset our body, our mind, our energy is with the food that we put into our body. So today, eat food that gives you energy. Food can be more than just fuel, too. It can connect you to memories, culture, comfort, celebration, creativity, and the people that you love. So today is about experiencing the joy of food. But without overthinking it. So, what food genuinely makes you happy? What food connects you to memories and culture? Give yourself permission to enjoy your food too. Sometimes we can be so focused on whether food is good or bad that we forget to actually experience it. So today, slow down, taste it, notice the texture, smell, flavor, and satisfaction of your food. I know it sounds trivial because we eat Every day, multiple times a day. But how often are we thinking intentionally about what we're putting in our bodies? And how often are we filtering our food to make sure that it gives us energy and that it brings us joy? So put your food on a real plate, sit down, play your favorite music, light a candle, or maybe you just drink a smoothie while you're on the go, but you're intentional about noticing how it's making you feel. What food brings me joy and what memory, person, place, or feeling do I associate with it? Sometimes joy is as simple as taking a bite, closing your eyes, and thinking, mmm, life is good. Just enough is more than enough, Saran says.
