How What You Eat Shapes How You Earn Money

For my entire life, I‘ve operated from a logical standpoint. As the oldest child and daughter, I was not granted the same level of freedom as my younger brothers. So when I became a mother, it wasn’t too difficult to create routines and set boundaries that would shape my new life—a life of financial stability and raising healthy daughters. Last week, I spoke about my gastrointestinal issues and how I learned to correlate food with feelings, as well as the financial impact I picked up from watching my mom get a credit card at every major department store.I knew that what I did would directly impact my children, so I had to figure out healthy systems to model for them.While mastering finances took me a bit longer, once I got it… I got it. And one thing that really helped me connect the dots at the beginning of my journey was meal prepping.To meal prep, you must:* Assess what you have* Anticipate what you’ll need* Make decisions on meals in advance to avoid hunger* Use what’s in the fridge (or in the budget)* Eat the food you’ve prepared, even if you’d rather purchase a mealBudgeting/planning your financial future follows the same steps.The people who understand this and stick to this are not more disciplined or have more willpower than you. They live by this rule:I decide ahead of time, and I honor that decision.In this episode, I’m discussing:* How discipline at the table transfers everywhere else* The reason we spike, crash, and overspend* Why we eat the way we eatNext week, we’re going to talk about how these exact metrics correlate to your bank account!If you liked this information, this season of Lamisa Wellness Collective is all about diving deeper into the psychology of food and money, so please consider liking, sharing, subscribing, and joining the conversation by leaving a comment!Are you in the San Antonio and looking to attend some upcoming Lamisa Wellness Collective events?Check out Cowgirls Blings & Things on Saturday, May 9th.
