Shopping trolley of thoughts

Inspiration for this blog came from an empty fridge.  A shopping trip impending, it occurred to me that careful choices are made about what goes in our shopping trolley.  We don't think, 'Urgh, liver! I'll have some of that!' or 'Wheat makes me ill, so let's get a loaf of bread!' 

So why do we allow this to happen with our thoughts?  We sometimes choose to feed on what we don't like or what makes us feel bad.  But when you chew on that, is it actually sensical to make ourselves feel bad?  Most of the time, dismal thinking is due to allowing your ego mind to ramble aimlessly.  You need to take control of your thoughts, to ensure they are empowering and encouraging, in order to evolve.

A friend suggested wearing a bracelet to remind you to think about the thoughts you think.  When you catch yourself thinking unhelpful thoughts, you focus on something that makes you feel good and switch the bracelet to the other wrist.  This way you condition yourself to think more nourishing thoughts and banish those blues.

So, throw the doomy, gloomy thoughts into the bin, where they can be recycled into something better and start to practise putting delicious fruity, vegetably thoughts of wholesome goodness into your trolley and see how much lovelier your life can become!

Happy shopping!

Monday 20 - Sunday 26 May is National Vegetarian Week.  So, if you are a meat muncher, maybe consider sinking your teeth into something refreshing, juicy and veggie for a change, rather than the flesh of another creature, and notice how you feel by the end of the week.  Even if you are already vegetarian or vegan, maybe try new dishes or nibble some new vegetables.  I didn't even know what salsify was until last Winter.  It struck me as more of a verb than a veg.

It is a good idea to be thoughtful about what we pop into our mouths, because the food we eat affects us energetically.  Plants, seeds, nuts, fruit and vegetables, which are all energised by the sun, carry very different vibrations than that of slaughtered animals. 

If you choose not to remove meat from your meals to feel what it's like to vibe on a higher level, then perhaps take a peek at Food Inc.  It's an eye opener, to say the least.

According to the ancient Ayurvedic diet, we all need to eat right for our body type to remain in good health.  Deepak Chopra's Dosha Quiz could help you discover the types of food that may benefit you.  To find out more about union of body, mind and soul through a yogic diet, click here: yum!
