EATING Part 21 The Ocean

 EATING

In this blog, i am looking at fear of eating some food based on the news - forgiving myself  and opening the door for correction

Forgiving Myself

I forgive myself that i have accepted and allowed myself to fear seeing news about the amount of waste in the ocean and dead birds on the beach

I forgive myself that i have accepted and allowed myself to believe that it is okay to buy and cook fish that are wild caught but fear canned fish coming from China 

I forgive myself that i have accepted and allowed myself to believe that my only responsibility 

is to earn money & get the fish and vegetables from the market  to the table - the rest is too much to worry about

I forgive myself that i have accepted and allowed myself to fear taking on too many responsibilities 

because i am just human 

I forgive myself that i have accepted and allowed myself to doubt whether i should eat fish or not because of the news that they contain heavy metals

I forgive myself that i have accepted and allowed myself to fear eating contaminated fish yet fear also eating meat because of the rumor that meat can raise my cholesterol

I forgive myself that i have accepted and allowed myself to fear eating lettuce because there's outbreak of  E. coli infections linked to Romaine lettuce

I forgive myself that i have accepted and allowed myself to be confused about what is written in the media about food

I forgive myself that i have accepted and allowed to judge food according to information coming from the media - instead of me investigating the facts myself and choose food based on the result of my food investigation

When and as i see myself having fear seeing news about waste in the ocean and dead birds on the beach, I stop - i breathe. I realize that i cannot live in fear and that i can only take self-responsibility in how i dispose of my waste and choosing food i eat - knowing that sometimes i project my fear to others and the environment and even blame them for causing disease when i can direct those and take responsibility

I commit myself to take self-responsibility in how i dispose of my waste 

I commit myself to take responsibility in choosing what food to cook and eat
