Day 6: Icky in Belly = Icky in Mind


12:22 PM
Yipes! My tummy doesn’t feel so good. I bought some veggie dumplings from a café near my yoga class. Icky in the belly. They weren’t so fresh. They weren’t so tasty. And I ate them anyway. Oh, Boy! It’s nothing drastic like outdated food or food poisoning. It’s just isn’t Saatvic /fresh /delicious.

Wisdom:
Take the time to cook something fresh. I know that if I make something a priority, I can get it done. And food is SO important – obviously. When I do this to my belly, I remind myself that my mood may later be low or negative because tamasic or old/stale/low Prana foods are the energy for the mind, too. This helps me out later when I’m thinking, “Boy, what got into me? I’m so testy.”
