Cravings
By Linda Taylor

Cravings are the body's way of sending us messages to maintain balance. 

Learning to listen to our body is essential. Cravings are the body's way of sending us messages to maintain balance. The longer we ignore these messages, the stronger the backlash can be. Yet, most people view cravings as a weakness, something to be controlled through austerity and discipline.

We all have this innate wisdom that urges us to eat foods that will dissipate, at least temporarily, our physical tension, give us more energy or lift our moods. Food can acts as a kind of medicine to regulate our current inner state.

So whenever your body is craving something, pause for a moment and wonder, "What's really going on here?" When you find yourself impulsively reaching for some food, please take a moment to slow down, breathe and reevaluate the situation and consider what your heart and soul really is asking for.  You may just be thirsty. Drink water!

Good Luck!
