I meditated for an entire 7 minutes today and had this little philosophical gem pop up: I have gifts to share with others, may God/the Universe allow me to share these gifts.
Then as I was doing a little reading, and an author had a thought about distracting ourselves with media, television, and computers and taking on the thoughts/expectations/opinions of others instead of quietly, through meditation, forming our own. When we are constantly bombarded with media, do we every truly have an original idea, any idea of what we want, and original ideas on how to make it happen???? I'm not sure. So today, I am challenging myself with this question:
How can I share my gifts while making myself happy?
Sometimes identifying our gifts is hard enough, let alone figuring out a way to share them and share them in a way that makes us happy! Hopefully reflecting on the above questions will help get my wheels turning on this one. Just some thoughts for you guys to enjoy on this lovely Friday afternoon.
Here's what I'm eating:
Breakfast/Lunch
32 oz green smoothie (1/4 before crossfit, 3/4 after)
(2 c. dandelion greens, 1 lemon, 1 lime, 1 grapefruit, 3 bananas, 1 orange, 1/2 tsp stevia)
1 mango
The funny thing about green smoothies is that they really curb my appetite. It's 1:45 p.m. right now and I have no interest in food (SO UNLIKE ME!). Whenever my appetite comes back I will probably hit up one of my famous Sunwarrior Protein smoothies and then some of the chocolate I've been looking forward to having but haven't had the appetite for yet. There is a theory in raw foods that when your body gets a lot of nutrients, you appetite is curbed because you aren't nutrient deprived. I feel that when I eat green smoothies. Surprisingly satiated and nourished. Apparently green smoothies make my nerdy philosophical side come out too.
Thanks for this- I struggle with appetite as an Ultra Runner, body always seems to be wanting more nutrition for burning up many miles in many days on end. I am going to give this breakfast a try-
