Hi Friends!
We are talking SUGAR today! As you know, in the last year, my biz has taken some turns ( for the better) I am not only an Interior Designer that practices intentional interior design, but also an EFT practitioner and Intuitive guide.
So begins our new series, “Design Thoughts Wellness”-DT Wellness for short. Each Thursday I will be adding in wellness to the big recipe of Connection that I am creating. Connection to space, connection to self!
SO….What’s your relationship like with sugar? Is it a “No big deal if I have some sugar” or is it a “GIMME SUGAR” type of situation?
I have had an interesting few weeks. As I mentioned before, I recently have been on A journey to kick my sugar habit. It hasn’t been a breeze, but now that I am several weeks into it, I have found my groove, listened to my whispers and started taking action. One of my actionable steps that works wonders for me
( and my clients!) is EFT ( Tapping). I have been “Tapping” on my sugar addiction, and really listening to what comes up. I have finally determined my WHY!! ( If you missed my “Tapping on Sugar video, watch it here) Figure out your root, and start working up.
As with every addiction/habit that doesn’t serve us, there is a root. We don’t like getting to the root…its hard work, and it usually isn’t the most pleasant of places.
Well friends, my root is, nurturing. UGH.
I started to realize, that I turn to sugar anytime I need nurturing. If I am feeling out of control/overwhelmed/tired, sugar soothes me. A very shortened version of my story is, My childhood was filled with everything special, being accompanied with something sweet. My mom passed away when I was 24, and to fill that natural nurturing that we get from our moms, I turned to the next closest thing to feeling her love. SUGAR.
Why am I telling you all of this? Well, because through this journey, I have had to find NEW ways to nurture myself! I started to wonder how others nurture THEMSELVES?
So today, its a question for you, How are you nurtured? Do you have specific rituals that help you feel nurtured?
Here are some new rituals that I have discovered, that are beginning to take the place of sugar.
*Allowing myself to use both shower-heads of our double shower, when I take a shower ( even though it uses a ton more water). It feels luxurious to me.
*Warmth! Wrapping a warm oatmeal soothing hot pad around my shoulders, has amazingly, worked wonders.
* Saying out LOUD ” I need to be nurtured right now” when I get a huge sugar craving.
Do you struggle with sugar? Fill in the blanks below and see where it takes you
1. I turn to sugar when I feel__________________
2. Sugar fills the void of _____________________ for me.
3. I want to give up sugar because_____________.
So, how about you? how do you nurture yourself? what do you need right now in your life? How could you bring more of what you need, into your life?
Have a great rest of your week!!! And give yourself moments this week to tune into your needs.
XO.
