When were working to enlighten our relationship to food, shame has it's way of keeping us trapped in the same repetitive loop that prevents the necessary forward momentum needed for self-transformation to occur.
This can look like feeling guilty after eating something, then having a negative internal dialogue about it that feels more critical than constructive.
These negative emotions culminate to a craving for more mindless eating. And the cycle continues over and over again.
Through our awareness we can interrupt this cycle with the divine voice of self-compassion. The divine compassionate voice is warm, gentle and tender. It looks to exhale rather than diminish. It leaves you feeling filled up and focused rather than heavy and depleted.
Challenge: the next time you eat something and you notice the voice of your inner critic, gently interupt it with your divine compassionate voice.
