Key Theme: INSIGHT

FATIGUE AND OTHER BODY NEEDS

Sometimes you may feel hungry when you have another physical need. Perhaps you are overtired or nervous or dehydrated. Dehydration is a notorious mimic of hunger. Stay well hydrated to keep these two signals straight. It is not uncommon to mix up body need signals but as long as you keep your body well fed and well watered, there’s no harm in mistaking its need for rest, etc. with its need for food. Sometimes we just need a break or a nap but miss these cues because we aren’t thinking in those directions. Gradually, as your body becomes a bigger priority, you’ll get better at knowing your body’s signals and satisfying them accurately.

“How can you come to know yourself? Never by thinking, always by doing.” Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
