To Be Free

There is no real freedom without independence, my friends. You can’t be free as long as you’re bound by the chains that pull you in someone else’s direction, force you into something, or let others decide—against your will—how you’re supposed to live.

I’m talking about freedom in its purest form!To be free means to stop living by someone else’s script and start following the wild, untamed call of your own spirit.— “The Gentle Games of Life and Death” by Richard Bach

The lack of freedom is rooted in generational patterns—deep-set survival strategies passed down by our ancestors. And while they may have once helped us survive, today they often keep us stuck. It shows up in our need to meet society’s standards, to fit in, to be accepted and approved of—because we’re so afraid of being rejected. All these layers pull us away from our true essence. We start living for the outside world and stop hearing our inner voice.

Dieting is just another way we disconnect from our instincts and silence our real needs. That’s why breaking free from diet prison is so important—and choosing instead to care for our bodies and minds with love and respect, by listening to our true desires.
