It is my 7th week at the
Institute of Integrative Nutrition, and I can thank enough the Universe and my friend, Kateryna, who introduced me to this life-changing program. I think I can already say that my life will be divided into two parts - before and after IIN.
Although I'm very busy at my job, I spend any minute I have listening to my Ipod with IIN audios and videos. It's a perfect way to learn something useful and interesting while doing routine job, flying, driving, jogging, or exercising. I like to take notes as well, but not always. The IIN online forum is a resource that still need to fully explore.
In this post, I would like to talk a little about one of the main concepts we talk about at the IIN - PRIMARY FOODS. Everyone has probably met people who look skinny and happy regardless of their terrible eating habits. We also know meticulous diet "control freaks", who have never done any consistent progress in the way they look and feel. Well, I'm sorry if you are one of them, but this is reality! The reason is that the quality of our life plays an enormous role in determining how we feel, and as a result, shapes our appearance as well. It's that simple: Happy people have happy bodies!
So what is primary foods that can affect our quality of life. There 4 main area of life that contribute to our overall happiness and well-being:
1) RELATIONSHIPS: with yourself, your spouse, boyfriend/girlfriend, parents, children, siblings, family members, friends, co-workers, extended family.
2) PHYSICAL ACTIVITY: the right mix of exercise that is appropriate for your life style.
3) CAREER: find the work that you love or learn to love your work.
4) SPIRITUALITY: spiritual practice/rituals that nourishes you.
I feel like my main priority right now is in the area of relationships. Then, comes my career. Obviously, all these four areas of life are interrelated. Without good relationship with ourselves and others we can't be happy at work, for example. I find it fascinating to explore my relationships with myself, my fears, and limiting beliefs that originate far back in my childhood. I would like to come to the point where I can fully express my authentic self and create my life joyfully and with highest integrity I am capable of. I think I have made a progress in this direction, but there is still a long way to go.
The previous post has inspired me to start a book list with all the books that have helped me to come to the point where I am right now. The list will contain not only books, but other online resources., Youtube channels, etc. Maybe someone else will find it useful as well. I will keep updating this list continuously.
