- I live in a hostile environment (every food establishment and machine on campus is full of poison junk food and useless carbs).
- I'm out of touch with my survival drive.
Some initial thoughts on responding to each:
- Hostile environment
- Improve information flows (internal and external), seeking better quality and faster delivery.
- Make small changes, as larger changes can cause the system to go wonky.
- Survival drive
- Perform regular praxis, reflecting on chosen inputs and the physical-mental-spiritual responses.
- Learn to thoughtfully leverage instinct. (What's behind that yearning for Cool Ranch Doritos?)
Still in progress...

I know exactly what you mean. Unlike you, I am avoiding pork - which, alas, is dad's favorite meat. In addition, someone in the house makes some sort of tasty baked dessert at least once a week (that infrequently is actually rare). There's no snackage around at work that's healthy. Fortunately, I live with an excellent chef who can make chicken (for example) about 30 different ways.
ReplyDeleteI have found that my "cravings" come in one of two varieties: sweet and salty, sometimes both. Nuts and cheeses do wonders to satiate the salty and berries or dried fruit can cover the sweet. If it's both, cheese with a bit of honey is delectable.
Could the chips be for the crunch?
ReplyDeleteJeff, could be. I'm not quite sure what to sub. Vege chips don't do it for me. I had cracklins yesterday; they were good.
