Has anyone else noticed how their eating habits seem to mirror their mindset? I’ve been curious lately about whether the way we approach food strict routines versus intuitive eating might reveal deeper patterns in how we handle control (or the lack of it) in other areas of life.
For example, do rigid meal plans stem from a need for structure, or could looser, more flexible eating styles reflect comfort with uncertainty? I’m fascinated by the overlap between psychology and nutrition, especially since my background in trade compliance means I’m always analyzing systems and rules. But I’d love to hear from others what’s your relationship with food like? Does it feel like a reflection of your broader psychological tendencies, or am I overthinking it?
Bonus question for the ghost hunters and traditional medicine folks: Do you think cultural or spiritual beliefs about food play into this too? So much to unpack here!
