If you’ve ever stood in front of the freezer at 10pm thinking about the ice cream — not even hungry, just thinking about it. The problem isn’t willpower. It’s a drama.
I just returned from a five-day silent Buddhist retreat, and I brought back one concept that changes everything: equanimity.
It’s not deprivation. It’s not indifference. It’s the mental calmness of being able to take something or leave it, and it is one of the most powerful tools you can use around food.
In this episode, I share what five days of silence, sitting, and eating mindfully taught me about why your thoughts about food matter more than the food itself, and how one simple shift in the way you talk about your favorite foods can dramatically quiet your urges. Enjoy the show!
