Today, let's chat about food. You might be wondering why a personal development brand is talking about food. How is that even related? On what authority is Kyetu talking about nutrition?
I promise you it'll make total sense in a minute. Let me explain.
Your wellbeing is like a pyramid or a triangle. You need foundational things before growth can happen, just like a house needs a solid base. Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs is a psychological theory that outlines human motivation and development. It's like a roadmap for personal growth. At its core are five levels of needs, starting with the basics like physiological requirements (food, water), safety, and social connections. As you satisfy these foundational needs, you move up to higher levels, seeking esteem and ultimately self-actualization – reaching your fullest potential.
So today, we're going to focus on one of the basics: Food.
If your food habits feel out of control, it might be time to connect with a dietician or a nutritionist. Eating a nutritious and balanced diet is key for overall body function.
Your body is like a temple, deserving top-notch care. It is what houses your soul or your vital energy. Caring for your body means honoring and respecting it enough to fuel it with nutritious foods. It is a form of self-love and self-care.
If you have a fancy, high-performing vehicle, what grade gasoline do you put in it? Low octane 87? Or high octane 94?
We're not here to dictate the type of diet – vegan, paleo, keto – it's your call. Everyone's body needs are different. We don't know how active you are, how much protein you need, or what your gut microbiome looks like. The core message is that food is about choice and control.
Feeling like your food habits are all over the place? Getting a grip on that is a primal step in your personal development journey. This isn't about looking good; it's about optimizing your nutrition to feel good, so that you can spend your energy developing your best life.
Food is all around us. It's part of our culture. It's how we celebrate. And it's ultimately directly tied to our identity. The foods we choose, or choose not to eat are intrinsically and deeply linked to our internal belief systems of what makes our bodies thrive.
Add frequency to the mix. We typically eat three times per day. If you're a grazer, maybe five times per day. So several times per day, you are making a conscious choice of what you put in your body.
We believe there's a huge opportunity to examine those choices and to optimize them, for longevity and well-being. All in order to help you on your path to self-realization.
Let's grab our journals for a moment now. Are you in control of what you eat and how you nourish your body? Take a moment to write this down. If you are, fantastic! Then, think about how you can level up. If not, it's time to consider what changes you can make. If you already know what's good for you but find it hard to stick to those habits, challenge yourself. And if you're feeling lost, not sure where to start, reaching out to a nutritionist could be your game-changer.
Here's to healthy eating habits that go the distance!
