Damon,
I think you hit on a key that I'm always repeating - it's a journey and we never quite get "there" - which makes the journey more interesting.
I like to qualify always that this is where I am now on the journey - for myself personally I guess swallowing pills of any kind just feels so foreign to me - even those kinds of supplementations that were in vogue for a while - which many would write that they are really foods - actually now while I think about it, I'm not particularly attracted even to foods when I can't tell what they came from. I like being able to identify my food
But the other aspect of being macro is being open, flexible, ready to accept new ideas, ready to grow. With balance always in mind. It doesn't mean everything that comes on one's path one must try in order to prove how flexible they are. We're not here to prove anything, just to learn and see what is good for us, personally.
Bruce, I've only tried natto once and didn't find it that objectionable as I've heard about it. We don't get it ready here, so it would be one more thing I'd have to learn to make - maybe in the future sometime.
btw, Damon just a curious question - which might be easier to change, one's body or one's mental or psychological outlooks? My intuition tells me they go together, body and mind being one - wondering if you're keeping a journal of your observations - and wonder how it will look five years down the line, ten years down the line. Just a thought.
What I appreciated most about Christina's article is how open they were to change. What we need however is to be open before the world hits us with such challenges!!!
