I slipped into autopilot

Happy Sacred Sunday!

It’s a spectacularly beautiful Sunday morning on the beaches of Marco Island. I just finished a mindful, long walk by the water. The last couple of days I’ve had the privilege of witnessing the most gorgeous sunsets and quality time with friends and family.


A friend of mine captured this sweet picture of my oldest son, Orly, sitting with his momma enjoying her favorite view in the world.

But you know what has made the weekend most enjoyable? Believe it or not, it’s been how mindful I’ve been about food.

I have to confess to you, that for some time I had slipped into autopilot with my nutrition.

I got a little too comfortable with the identity of being a “healthy” eater who occasionally indulges. It’s like when you’re coasting in a healthy relationship or at work. Subconsciously you may start to take some things for granted, pay less attention, or stop doing the things that made things so great to begin with.

That happened to me with food.

It wasn’t a complete detour of my habits. I “mostly” eat well.

No, This was way more subtle.

It was an accumulation of choices here and there that showed I had started to drift.

Until I noticed the side effects.

Join me today on the podcast as I share some embarrassing but hilarious stories of myself, my journey to health, and how I noticed I’d slipped into autopilot.

This path of life is not a straight line. It doesn’t have to be perfect, but it helps if you stay aware and mindful. Because the farther you detour from your aligned path, the harder it is to find your way again.

The reason I said my weekend vacation has been better because I’ve been mindful about food is because I feel awake and alive. I feel empowered and in control of myself. And that feeling makes me feel vibrant and bliss-full.

You can either sleepwalk through life or you can wake up.

May this be your invitation to wake up if you’re sleepwalking. If this message is for you, you’ll know.

Sending you a sun-kissed, coconut smelly hug today.

Hope you enjoy your Memorial Day long weekend.
