🌱 The Roots of the Universe and My Fasting

– You don't have to feel guilty about not eating. A journey to converse with your roots and connect with yourself –
I haven't had much of an appetite lately.
No, to be precise, the feeling of "I don't want to force myself to eat" has suddenly welled up from within.
If it were the old me, if someone told me, "You have to eat properly," I might have...
eaten even if I didn't want to, just because I was told to.
And

But now, I've come to think of it as a "sign that my heart and body are giving me."

🌿Fasting is a journey of "alignment"
I am currently doing a **fast**.
It's not that I'm cutting out food entirely; I'm drinking miso soup and taking a little high-quality olive oil.
I'm also consciously getting collagen through lipids, minerals, and gelatin. I'm proceeding gently while listening to my body's voice.
It's not a method decided by someone else,
but a fast I chose while conversing with my body as it is now.
Overeating can actually be a cause of stress or illness for the heart and body.
So the choice of "not eating" might also bea positive purification rather than a negative symptom.

A fine line from an eating disorder? Even so, I want to believe.
Actually, during this process, something crossed my mind.
"Isn't this a fine line from an eating disorder?"
But I gently asked myself that question back.
Whose perspective is that?
I'm not refusing food to hurt myself.
Rather, I'm trying to face food in order to cherish myself.
I believe the difference between an eating disorder and "conscious fasting" isthe state of knowledge and awareness.
It's not about giving up by saying, "There's no point in eating anyway,"
but a choice to trust my inner voice, saying, "This is what I need right now."

🪐Conversing with my own "roots"
Fasting isn't just about making the body lighter.
It's likea process of connecting with the "roots of the universe".
Roots that are given too much water will rot.
Conversely, plants that know the timing of the rain grow firmly within the rhythm of nature.
My body and my heart are alsoa single root connected to the universe.
By listening to the voice of my own "roots" rather than common sense from the outside,
I can see the nutrition and words that I truly need.

☀️Making simple and rich choices
Lately, I've also been studying web production and design.
In a world with too much information, I tend to chase after the "latest" and "multi-functional" things.
ButI think what's truly important is simple.
Food, life, and work.
Rather than "what functions are needed,"
"what do I want to deliver right now?"
I want to create websites while facing my own heart in that way.
That must surely becoding for self-love.

🌸Start with 3 days. Without force, in your own way.
For those interested in fasting, I recommend starting with3 days.
Butnot forcing yourself is the most important thing.
And, learn properly. Even if you make a few mistakes, trial and error is okay.
You just need to find the style that suits you.

💫Softly, flexibly. I will live.
This body and this feeling are connected to the roots of the universe.
Rather than giving too much,what is needed, only in the amount needed.
That is my choice for now.
From here on, I want to grow a new world one step at a time, flexibly, lightly, but with my roots firmly planted.

📌Why don't you try conversing with your roots, too?
"I don't want to eat" might also be an important message from you.
