To fewer choices. To limiting ourselves.
Saying no to infinite choices. Not getting distracted with shiny objects. Saying no to things and people that are too much or too little. Above and beyond what we need is poison.
Too many choices cost us. We do not have infinite minutes or hours to live. Everything takes time.
We do not have bottomless pit of stomachs, and so if we eat too much, our bellies expand, we get fat, and our knees buckle under the stress. Surrounded by the abundance of choices on what we can eat and what we can drink.
I’ve whittled down my list of what I like. I like water. Bubbly. Tea and Coffee. Everything else is too sweet. Too alcoholic.
I need to eat once a day, preferably during lunch time, with a banana and other pieces of fruit during the day. More than this, I feel sluggish. I like eating fresh vegetables and food that I can recognize come straight from the ground. And so, I find myself in the fresh produce section. Nowhere else.
Limiting my choices frees up my mental capacity to nourish me in the best way that works for me.
And so, I dedicate this love letter for finding our own Goldilocks moments. Limiting choices and automating what works for us, humanly and intentionally.
