Usually, it’s clinical. It’s calories consumed, macros hit, water ounces checked off a list. But lately, I’ve been sitting with that word differently. What if "intake" isn't just about what we put in our mouths, but what we allow into our entire system?
It feels weird. It feels boring. But boring is where the brain repairs itself. I used to think "intake" was a number. A target to hit.
Here is what I learned when I stopped counting grams and started paying attention to the invisible stuff. We all know social media is a highlight reel, but I didn't realize how heavy my visual diet was until I did a deep clean. I unfollowed 200 accounts that made me feel like my kitchen wasn't clean enough, my arms weren't toned enough, or my life wasn't adventurous enough.
Now I know it’s a filter.
