At Totally Nuts we are big believers in organic clean food, and following a lifestyle that is based in principles of health and integrity. And, sometimes we want something just a little bit 'naughty'. Here is why that is absolutely, perfectly and completely okay!
Why a little 'naughty' is good
- It keeps food from becoming an inner battlefield. When we are focussed on the labelling of foods as 'good' or 'bad', we inevitably judge ourselves in the same way.
- It supports a balanced relationship with eating and food in general. A treat is not the same as a binge into junk food.
- It keeps things in perspective. Your diet and lifestyle are clean and nourishing - having a little treat or two does not undo the long term focus.
- It brings pleasure into our eating and food. Food isn't just about fuelling our bodies and minds - it's also about connecting, sharing, and yes, sheer enjoyment.
Indulgence - within reason! - aligns with principles
As well as our following principles of clean, healthy and organic living, we are also committed to other principles - like kindness and balance.
Living with kindness as a guide means being kind not only to those around us, but also to ourselves. And being kind to ourselves means relaxing and trusting our instincts, letting go of judgement and trusting ourselves.
A focus on balance means that we don't get caught focussing so hard on one thing that we lose sight of the big picture. And this of course applies to what and how we eat.
So, this week...
Indulge a little with some of our delicious - and still quality, healthy and organic - treats. Enjoy them, and enjoy your enjoyment of them!
