#11 - Nutrition & Business: How to Balance Primary & Secondary Foods

Girl Makes Fire: Holistic Business Tools for Solopreneurs with Deborah C. Smith

Have you ever been so intensely focused on a work project or trying to meet a deadline for your business that you completely forgot to eat?

Maybe the first sign that you've been face deep in your screen for hours is a loud rumbling in your belly!

Or, remember when you were a kid and you played outside for hours and hours on end and when your mom called you in for dinner you protested? Hunger and food were the very last thing on your mind, because capture the flag wasn't gonna finish playing itself!

We go through so many processes in our lives not really thinking about food or nutrition, and then when we do eat, we often think of it within the frame of various different stories: food is entertainment, a reward, a link to a beloved family member.

Rarely do we think of food as just plain old fuel for our system and I'd bet almost nobody thinks of it as a business tool.

In holistic business, nutrition is indeed considered a business asset, just like Joy is a nutrient!

This week, I took the time to break down the difference between primary and secondary foods and how they play a role in your every day success.

In this episode, you'll learn about:

• the concept of food as fuel
• how nutrition is actually self care
• the difference between primary and secondary foods and why they matter

I also offered a classic holistic wellness exercise, The Wheel of Life exercise, that you can print out and use repeatedly to figure out which of your primary foods may need your attention at this time!
Give it a listen and make sure to grab your copy of the Wheel of Life exercise so you can bring this practice into your business tool kit.
