Finding raw inspiration
I just listened to Karen Knowler’s The 4 Juiciest Secrets to Going and Staying Raw and I feel comforted, relieved, and inspired. I would highly recommend this recording if you are restless and discontented. I’m at a crossroads where I find it hard to be raw (emotionally and socially) but yet I feel enormously awful if I eat a cooked diet. Is there a happy medium? I do wonder sometimes…
I have been asking myself why I’m just finding it impossible to stay away from cooked food in the evenings. Strange because it’s hot and I still want warm food. I’m not aiming to be 100% raw 100% of the time, but I would like to be mostly raw with more sensible cooked food choices. Right now, I’m indulging in a lot of grains and noodles. It’s as if I cannot say goodbye…
One of the points mentioned in her podcast that got my attention was maybe I’m bored of my present and afraid of the future. I know I have this great reservoir of energy but yet I’m seeking something but I don’t know what it is. It seems I’m compelled to move forward but am fearful of change. So perhaps to keep the status quo, I reach for the comfort and numbing effect of cooked food, while watching movies, and lazing about after work at night.
The question is, what will engage my mind fully? Or what variety of things will….? Lots of questions but will need to exercise patience. It feels like I’ve been on the raw path forever but yet it’s only been six months so I should be kinder to myself and go with the flow. Not rush things, perhaps?
