Food
So I'm beginning to be more attracted to improving myself on the field of health. To be precise: food.
I think I'm going to follow the same strategy as with seduction and relationships: just try out myself, see what is effective and feels good to me, talk to people on the same path. I'm going to follow the strategy for money too at some point in my life, but not now.
Coincidentally it seems a basic fear always needs to be conquered. Looking like a fool, being vulnerable, being alone, being poor, ... I don't know what the fear is regarding food, but I'll learn soon enough. The most difficult part will proabably be getting rid of habits, I believe.
I don't believe in this "nutritionism" that rules the waves lately with their millimiterized measurements that now fill half of the grocery stores. I feel more for going back to real food and trusting your body's wisdom. Making small shifts in what you take in. Cane sugar instead of processed beet sugar, brown bread instead of white, reducing dairy products, reducing salt, start drinking more water. In fact this is an elaboration of things that I have already done most my life.
And lo and behold, some synchronicities are popping up in my life, like this book from Michael Pollan In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto. Then to say I found it through a random link in Youtube leading to Zuzana's excellent fitness website which I only followed because I actually cursed aloud when I saw her ass (translation for the women: that's a Good Thing).
Long live the wisdom of my instincts :)

Soulmates vs Egomates
from GoneSavage's blog
"Why is it so hard to find a soulmate? Because most of us are actually searching for egomates instead. We place the most limited and unloving aspects of our minds in charge of our search for love, and then wonder why we aren't succeeding. To the degree that we identify with this false sense of self, and operate on the basis of its limited point of view, we aren't looking for someone to love so much as recruiting fellow actors to take on supporting roles in a favorite melodrama."
-- Carolyn Miller
Yes, and there is one more dimension of utmost importance to us: body-mates, sex-mates, playmates.
Think about it this way. We all have three inner forces, often at odds with one another.
--Your ego wants to do what looks good.
--Your body wants to do what feels good.
--And your soul wants to do what IS GOOD (what is best in the long-run, and what is best for all parties involved).
What sort of mate do you seek?
