Primary Food

Not everyone knows what primary food is so I thought it was only appropriate to talk about it today. When I hear the work primary I think of going to the grocery store and buying babyfood for my boys when they were small. And of course without appropriate nutrition (meaning food) babies don't grown properly. But more importantly, without love and proper attention, an infant can develop something called failure to thrive. In my prior career as a child protective services worker I have seen infants with failure to thrive. It's sad. So what does this have to do with primary food? Let's first talk about what primary food is and you will see what I'm talking about. Primary food is anything that we take into our being that is not real food. So for example, relationships are a form of primary food. They feed and nourish us in ways that food could never do. Career and spiritual practices are forms of primary food. Ever wonder why some jobs make you feel so good and another job you might have had was toxic? Yup...you guessed it. All primary foods. The trick is to make sure our primary foods are supporting and nourishing us. If they're not then guess what? You get to change that. Of course some may say, "easier said than done." And you're right. That's why I offer health coaching. I help people make choices that support their needs and goals.
