Anything healthy can become unhealthy
About this episode
Anything healthy can become unhealthy if it's driven by fear, control, or self-policing. I'm learning that this year, in my own body.I grew up in a family obsessed with wellness and longevity: my dad and his heavy medicine books, my mom making kombucha in a hot Taiwan kitchen thirty years ago, before it was popular, Tai Chi lessons at fourteen with fifty and sixty year olds. I loved ballet, and by ten I was watching my arms and stomach in the mirror. For decades after that I often skipped dinner, because it was the easiest way to control my weight.
Making the Soft Power Project finally got me into a gym for the first time in my life. I told my trainer I just wanted to feel strong. What my body asked for instead was dinner.
I'm still adjusting. I've gained weight, my stomach isn't flat, and my old self still comments on it. But soft power here looks like letting my body find its rhythm instead of policing it.
If you've done all the healthy things and still felt like something wasn't right, this one is for you.What are you giving yourself permission to eat?
