Bottom line, no food, no peace.

But is there a way to foster our relationship with the items we consume day in, day out to promote peace?

To be in awe of the energy it takes to grow/produce our food…

What a better way to connect with self than to cultivate a positive relationship with the food that nourishes and sustains our bodies.

Daily peace tip #3

Today, as you eat each meal, pay attention to the food. Savor the flavors, the texture, the aroma, the moment…

Slow down and enjoy the meal, create space in your day to be present when you nourish your body.

For so many (but most certainly not all and that’s a different post), food is a choice.

Peace and “good” food…

What foods can you choose to eat that will promote peace in your life?
