Avenue Lifestyle: Eating Disorders
Avenue Lifestyle: Eating Disorders
Welcome back to Avenue Lifestyle. Happy Women's Month. We are getting in a very uncomfortable and notorious conversation which is eating disorders but this time around we're aiming towards influences. What do we feed our minds, hearts, out entire being and surroundings?
We have to draw inspiration/motivation somewhere and that often has a big turn out on how we express ourselves. Our fluency is important. Moderate consumption, over the top, bare minimum or nothing at all.
Many people find it easy to digest bad news. Negative comments, hostility and toxic traits that they welcome them in, host them and then throw a massive pity party. This is caused by us having a point of reference or recognizing what is normal and accommodating it. There's a good guy who treats you right but you're not familiar with that so you reject him or friend zone him. Then comes the one you should run from, the warning signs to you are relatable so you draw closer and it crashes and burns you ask yourself "how do I never see this coming?" Well you do, it's a normalized meal that seems enjoyable until you realize it's not good for you.
The food we are used to, even if it isn't good for us, we're able to come to enjoy it. Then when something delicious comes our way we just can't take it in. Long-term effects can be hard to tackle as there's a tug of war, back and forth conflict that is demanding and brutal.

What we feed on daily can impact how we think, how we speak to people and how we feel about ourselves. Is your diet more of love or destructive towards you or everyone? What's easier to consume? Negativity or Positivity?
There are people who find it hard to believe compliments as simple as "you look beautiful" because they constantly feed on past words that were scathing to their self esteem. It's hard to let go because they've registered the words and victimized themselves by replaying and maintaining or growing the pain of what was said. Gardening 101.
Watering the wrong fruit and vegetables and letting the good stuff wither. We then sabotage our happiness. We push good people away, good opportunities and just stay in a space of conflict because it's easier to just embrace the negativity because we're now used to it, nothing new and it's a "no surprises there" thing than to fight your way out because that requires you to face everything and most of us would rather take the blows than wear the gloves and know our worth.
So a lot of times what we eat can create good patterns or bad patterns that can lead to an orderly life or one that's disorderly. We then fail to cope or overcome challenges because we've been made to believe we can't get through this we can only stay in it and cry. We're all going through something so I'm not just having a bad day by myself, someone in Africa is starving, someone in America is deported, someone in...we do this to make ourselves better but it's more of like going deeper into the cage and locking ourselves in then throwing away the key and forcing contentment in a destructive environment of sorrow.
Some consume too much negativity, some too much positivity but even in moderation are you in a stable state of mind? Where you can function and think clearly? It's all in your diet. If your plate is filled with clashing foods then you need to start making sure your plate is healthy for you and others. One bad tomato can make you take it all out on the whole salad and you'll ruin not only your day but another person's. Don't give in to something that will make matters worse. Turn your attention to what helps you move on, be better, do better and live better. You're capable and yes you can. Take a leap of Faith.
If that marriage, that show, those friends, that workplace is not good for you. Don't stay when you're in agony you're feeding and there aren't any benefits. If your thinking patterns aren't good, try to create positive roadblocks or happy endings. Just because they start bad in your head means they have to end bad, take control and reimagine it working all out.
Step 1 - Review The Diet
Check if it's essentially good for you. Why is not working for you. Who is the chef, why do you keep going to that restaurant or checking in that hotel. Because you don't want burnt food that's bitter, how will you ever be nutritious and flavorful if it's not worh consuming?
Step 2 - Get rid of what's unhealthy
The bible literally teaches us about taking new and old things out of your storage room.
Step 3 - Take Control. Stand Your Ground
Don't be swayed by the situation for emotions will try to lead you. Be calm. Start affirming good things.
Step 4 - Positive Retaliation
Rejecting the negativity like blocking calls and hanging up. Put yourself on DO NOT DISTURB MODE. whenever negative menus are offered. You're not ordering a bad day with a side of envy.
Step 5 - Analysis
Check and monitor your progress. What are your triggers. Temptations for cheat days when you feel like throwing a pity party or playing a negative record about who said what about you. You'll get to know what to void and how to avoid it. What's good for you and how to accommodate it.
We hope this was helpful. We all have patterns that can lead to a great downfall, spiral but it's all in us putting in the work to rehabilitate the mind, heart and everything that concerns us. Plus Reusing. Reducing and Recycling should be applied where necessary. Reduce the negativity bit by bit. Reuse the affirmations. Recycle everything that's helping you be a better version of yourself bit give new things the welcome they deserve. Don't stay stuck on the same rhythm. Grow..it won't always be roses and sunshine. Our struggles aren't meant to break us, even if they try to. We can overcome. God is for Us and he's the greatest diet to feed on.
Until Next Time.
