I've done a lot of reflecting this morning. As we enter a new storm of political forces - the midterms, I had a sudden download of clarity.
The news and social media are to your mental and emotional health, as artificial ingredients and processed foods are to your physical health.
Just as the sugar campaign was designed to increase their profits at your expense, it is my belief that political campaigns that seek to seperate us into thought camps are not designed and executed for our benefit, but for theirs.
Just as artificial ingredients inflame our body, I believe political rhetoric incites and inflames our mind and our emotions. And we know inflammation in the body leads to disease, I believe the same is true for our minds and emotional health.
We live in this world. And just as we don't control the food industry, neither do we control political parties. In both cases we have to find our own way to navigate beyond the obstacles. We have to find our own ways to stay true to ourselves and prioritize our health versus their campaigns to control our thoughts, actions and beliefs.
My focus during this political storm is going to be like my health focus. Avoid the artificial. In foods, the industry uses artificial ingredients to highjack my body into craving their products. Benefiting their bottim line at the expense of my health.
In politics, the campaign is to incite my emotions and alter my perceptions so as to "buy" more of their garbage. It was never about my benefit, no matter how well they marketed it.
I need to clarify, I don't believe every person from the food industry is bad. And neither do I believe every politician is evil. But I do believe the conglomerates work as an entity, and they aren't working for me.
Just as I advocate avoiding the toxins of highly processed foods and the artificial ingredients they contain, I encourage you to recognize when your emotions are being highjacked and you are being incited into picking sides.
Separation leads to weakness. Illness. Disease. Just as sugar creates a craving, if political reteric invokes rage, avoid the poison! What good can come from it? For you or your fellow human being?
Your superpower is internal, your soul. Love is the Source. Your ego thrives on fear. YOU thrive on love. Separation is a byproduct of fear. Connections, community, family and friends are a byproduct of honoring your values and fostering love. Feed and nuture your soul and avoid the toxins that incite the fear that feeds your ego. One is your superpower. The other your weakness.
I share this with love 🩷
