Who hasn’t seen a child meltdown when hungry or tired? Who hasn’t felt the discomfort of a dysregulated body because of feeling hungry?
In addition to anxiety and irritability, the hangries can promote a headache and behaviours that make me feel bad about myself. Furthermore, being capable of thinking clearly seems improbable.
My confidence and productivity also suffer when there’s no time set time aside to eat.
The problem is, as a high achiever, it seems easier to skip eating. Not because food is not enjoyable, but because it’s an interruption in the flow of the day. Intentionality towards eating, and eating regularly then becomes a MUST.
Therefore, here’s some rules and practices that a) affirm you matter and b)nourish your body:
Sit down when eating
Don’t eat in the car (unless stopped and enjoying a view!)
Ensure there are enough healthy foods in the fridge and cupboard to prep easy meals
Pre-plan meals, especially when you might be cooking for one.
Have a list of your favourite, healthy foods so you don’ thave to think when you are tired
If you are wanting to be calmer and have improved energy then make your meals nourishing. You’ll feel more resourced and healthier too.
