My Food and Mood

13/01/2021

Having a low mood and energy were my life’s backdrop. My only motivation was to forget the present and stay in my bed for as long as possible.

Working on my food, however, became the foundation that changed all of that. Food gave me the energy to address the other factors in my life that were bringing me down.

Better food and eating habits are what improved my mood and energy levels. It also ignited my motivation and focus on my personal growth.

Don’t get me wrong, I still have bad days occasionally when my mood is not completely glowing. But overall, my experience in improving my mood with food has been life-hanging.
- I rarely feel anxious or get panic attacks.
- Dealing with day-to-day stressors has become more comfortable.
- My sleep quality is good.
- My concentration and energy levels have never been better.
- When my mood and energy are low, I know what strategies to apply to get back on track.

Better food and eating habits are what improved my mood and energy levels, and ignited my personal growth.

If you have couple of goals on your priority list - DONT SHARE THEM with everybody. 😌 when you start telling many people what you want to achieve in a way a bit of uour motivation goes away. It becomes more satisfying telling whatnyou want to do than actually doing it.
☘️.
If you really have a goal that you are keen to achieve share with one or few people and ask them for support. That would help you move forward more than sharing your goals to fill out silence when you small talk.
