Changing Eating Habits: How Can I Start Changing Eating Habits if I Have Never Done It Before?
by Empty Your Cup Relaxation Coach · Filed Under: Stress and your Health
In my many years of working with entrepreneurs and solopreneurs they all desire to make lots of money and have an abundance of energy so that they enjoy a vibrant productive life.The whole thing about eating the wrong foods is not about eating the wrong foods. It’s the consequences of eating the wrong foods. You get involved in that, then have all kinds of health issues. Then you have to deal with the health issues.
A lot of times, it’s simply a matter of having proper meals. That can often balance things out, depending on to what degree you have been into this bad habit of missing meals.
Wayne: Cecil, if you eat the right meals, is that going to help with your stress level?
Cecil: If you eat properly and have three meals, it helps a lot. The body needs fuel. You can’t drive a car without putting gas in it. It’s the same thing with you as a person. In order to function, you need to have something in your system.
For example, I always suggest that people have some fruit in the morning. Have your breakfast. Have your lunch. Have your dinner.
One day, I was teaching meditation. I noticed that in the class, they were hungry. They had skipped a meal. I had to go find food for them to eat before I taught. Nobody would listen to me.
What happens if children go to school hungry? If you don’t feed the children, they can’t function. Their brain can’t function if there is no food.
I was in this class to teach. I realized they were hungry. I sense it through the energy. I said, “Look. Get something to eat. Go buy something.” Then I had a very receptive class. Nobody was listening to me when they were hungry.
A lot of times, it’s simply a matter of having proper meals.
One of the things I have found is that if people aren’t eating properly, their attention span is very short. You learn to spot it and make sure that the people get something to eat. When they get something to eat, it’s much easier for you to facilitate them and teach them.
What is so informative about these thoughts is, it can initiate a spark back to the way of achieving greater success, or speed up a tired effort you may have deserted, and inject it with new desire and vitality.

The importance of breakfast is often overlooked in today’s fast paced world. I always start my day out with a smoothie and nibble on fruit and vegetables throughout the day. I find that it really affects my concentration (not to mention my mood) when I miss a meal. Great article! Thanks for the reminder to continue to fuel my body for health!

Hi Deborah,
Thanks for the shout out.
As you mentioned we seem to get caught up in this fast paced world and forget about looking after ourselves. I wonder who we expect to look after us.
You are so right about the affect that missing a meal have on your concentration and your mood.
Now let’s take that thought a bit further.
Imagine for a moment if you are an entrepreneur, solo preneur or a mom, what would your life be like when you are no longer back tracking to correct mistakes because you are on the ball with amazing concentration?
How does that feel when you are in a good mood and very productive?
If you carry this experience with you after work. How would your relationship with your partner change?
Now it is worth the effort to have breakfast in the morning? Peace.
