A few weeks ago we stayed with friends who served us steak. These friends are thin, healthy and full of energy. I was totally intrigued. So much so that I admitted that I’d never really cooked steak as an adult and the few times I did it didn’t turn out so well. You see, I’d allowed the common belief that red meat is bad to become an absolute. Rather than enjoy it in moderation, I’d eliminated it completely.
I’ve started making steak whenever I want, which amounts to about once a week. What a difference. I realized that steak nourishes me physically, but also mentally. It feels like an itch that I finally scratched. I have more energy, have actually lost, not gained weight, and somehow feel like my world got bigger.
So, where are you carrying stories about what you shouldn’t do? Are there friendships you don’t pursue because you think they aren’t right for you? Is there a career direction that you constantly talk yourself out of? Is there a trip you want to take? Where are the, “Yeah, but..s” in your life? What would it be like to scratch that itch? What nourishment and abundance are you keeping at bay?
