me? – What do you need from me?

“clean” it is. • Ask your body…Am I hungry?• What would your current hunger look like if it

was a landscape you inhabited?• Where are you in this landscape?• Does the food you’re contemplating putting in

your mouth enhance or detract from this landscape?

• Imagine there is a section of your landscape that you would plant this food in as if it were a seed that will yield a flower or other plant. What are you planting?

• What will grow there as a result of it?

• Even though I have parts of me that I don’t always like, I deeply accept myself…I love and approve of myself.
