As I reflect on Bernstein and its impact on my life, I want to take that open-circle approach. So I have the talking stick: here are my thoughts.
Sugar is poison
Salt is evil
I dont need to eat as much as I thought I did.
We (I as chef) relied on starches and meat to fill the void; processed white breads and sugar-laden products.
Im keeping the preferred products, and in the process of mapping out for each member of the family portions/foods and a new approach to meal planning that balances out what were eating and how much.
The program has given me the opportunity to stop the bus, do some research, evaluate my relationship with food, and what food I want to have in my life. I always admired high performance athletes who would say that their body is their temple and they dont ingest anything that harms it. I would think - yes, nice philosophy - as I drove through a McDonalds restaurant for a Big Mac. Now I know what that adage means, and have been living it. I want to continue living that clean-eating motto.
Now, in some communities, a sacred stick, pipe or other cultural object might be passed around the circle. The purpose is that each individual would "speak into it" (a metaphor for simply verbalizing publicly) their one action that they commit to implementing to continue the learning and path to change.
So, heres my personal commitment toward continued action. Im going to create a visual "talking stick" - a decorated plate to visualize how I will eat based on my learnings - as a commitment to myself for the future.
Im going to do that this weekend and Ill post a
photo and display it on my fridge for daily visualize and action. Ill post it when its done.What would your "talking stick" commitment look like?
And no...this picture is not it. Far from it...
