In the middle of a task, half of my mind shifts away by asking, “What’s good to eat?” while trying to escape the other half, which tries to focus and be in the flow.
That was last year. And a year before that, and before that, too.
Okay, I might be in an unhealthy cycle, and you might be too.
Have you ever been in a mall for an errand, and while at it, you thought, “Might as well find something to eat now that I am here,” even when you’re not really hungry?
Okay, maybe it’s just me. But in case you’re like that too, I’m curious what’s happening with our heads!
Perhaps we want to appease ourselves, pamper, or even give us the “best day of our lives” by serving an unhealthy dose of sugar, salt, and fat.
Let me give in to this craving today.
While aiming for intentional living, I’ve looked back to this habit I’ve allowed myself to be in for years and reevaluated what I really want when such moments come.
It could be the dopamine rush of satisfying a craving or the rush of chemical-induced happiness that food can satiate in the absence of somebody’s attention and company.
I often ask myself, “What’s good to eat?” when I’m alone.
And maybe it’s just company and meaningful conversations that I really long for, not a sugar rush.
