LIFE IS A SMORGASBORD
by Rosemary Davies-Janes

My life used to be chaotic and stressful, a state that evolved largely from my post-separation discovery that there were no limits on what I could do, aim for or achieve.  I saw  life as a smorgasbord and fell into to one of the cardinal sins...  Gluttony.

 "I want to try that and that and that, and also some of this and this, oh and that looks amazing, oh and that looks great!!!"

I heaped my plate and loaded my life, not noticing that life’s buffet is perpetual and that I could return as often or seldom as I pleased. So, there I was, busy ingesting but not really enjoying the wonderful taste sensations.  My goal became to consume it all quickly, so I could return for more of what I'd liked, and perhaps try a few things I'd previously overlooked. I didn't want to miss anything and wanted to try it all, right away!   I overwhelmed my visual, olfactory and taste senses and totally deadened my palate, then expected my overloaded system to process the enormous quantities of new data I ingested as it would a normal meal.

It didn't happen. I got heartburn. I got constipated. I got  bloated. My system ran down, my energy diminished and I was left in great physical discomfort. I slowly realized that what I had hoped to gain had been sabotaged by both my enthusiasm and my ignorance.

Life is a journey to explore at our leisure, not a feast to be consumed in one sitting. The danger of perceiving life as a buffet may be found in the gluttony of those of us wanting to maximize our investment and consume quantity versus quality.  There is plenty of time to indulge our senses in the areas in which we are meant to indulge. I now trust in this and take life as it comes, consuming it slowly and savoring it , bite by delicious bite.

The beauty of life is that it proffers a spectrum of possibilities to those willing and able to make appropriate and considered selections.
Individuals who fully experience their consumption note the physical synergy between the foods and their body and observe how they affect their feelings and energy levels.  It is not an analytical process but an intuitive one - the key is mindfulness - awareness of the total experience.  Those who attend the banquet of life in a mindful state have lives that are surfeit, fulfilled and contented.
