00:00:00.200 --> 00:00:15.119
Ah Calorogus Shark Media. I'm Olivia, and today we're savoring

2
00:00:15.160 --> 00:00:18.199
gratitude for the joy and nourishment that food brings to

3
00:00:18.239 --> 00:00:21.359
our lives. Let's start with the simple pleasure of a

4
00:00:21.399 --> 00:00:24.839
favorite meal. Whether it's a home cooked dish that reminds

5
00:00:24.879 --> 00:00:28.640
you of childhood or a special restaurant treat, favorite foods

6
00:00:28.679 --> 00:00:33.359
can bring comfort and happiness. Today, I'm grateful for the

7
00:00:33.399 --> 00:00:36.280
dishes that never fail to lift my spirits and satisfy

8
00:00:36.320 --> 00:00:41.000
my taste buds. Consider the abundance and variety of food

9
00:00:41.000 --> 00:00:44.359
available to many of us. From fresh fruits and vegetables

10
00:00:44.359 --> 00:00:47.600
to grains, meats, and dairy, we have access to a

11
00:00:47.679 --> 00:00:51.320
wide range of nutritious options. I'm thankful for the nourishment

12
00:00:51.439 --> 00:00:54.920
these foods provide, fueling our bodies and supporting our health.

13
00:00:56.479 --> 00:00:59.799
Think about the social aspect of sharing a meal. Gathering

14
00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:03.119
around a table with family or friends, sharing food and

15
00:01:03.200 --> 00:01:08.040
conversation creates bonds and memories. Today, I'm grateful for the

16
00:01:08.040 --> 00:01:14.480
connections fostered and strengthened over shared meals. Let's appreciate the farmers, fishers,

17
00:01:14.480 --> 00:01:17.280
and food producers who work hard to bring food to

18
00:01:17.319 --> 00:01:21.239
our tables. Their labor often unseen, is essential to our

19
00:01:21.319 --> 00:01:26.120
daily lives. I'm thankful for their dedication and the vital

20
00:01:26.200 --> 00:01:30.319
role they play in our food system. Consider the joy

21
00:01:30.400 --> 00:01:33.680
of cooking and baking. The process of creating a meal

22
00:01:33.719 --> 00:01:36.159
can be a form of self expression, a way to

23
00:01:36.200 --> 00:01:42.239
show love, or simply a relaxing activity. Today, I'm grateful

24
00:01:42.239 --> 00:01:45.680
for the ability to transform raw ingredients into delicious dishes.

25
00:01:47.359 --> 00:01:51.400
Think about the cultural significance of food. Traditional dishes connect

26
00:01:51.480 --> 00:01:54.519
us to our heritage and help us understand other cultures.

27
00:01:55.200 --> 00:01:57.959
I'm thankful for the way food allows us to experience

28
00:01:58.000 --> 00:02:01.280
and appreciate diverse traditions and flames from around the world.

29
00:02:03.120 --> 00:02:05.799
Let's not forget about the pleasure of trying new foods.

30
00:02:06.239 --> 00:02:10.039
Exploring unfamiliar cuisines or ingredients can be an adventure for

31
00:02:10.120 --> 00:02:14.439
our taste buds and broaden our culinary horizons. Today, I'm

32
00:02:14.479 --> 00:02:17.599
grateful for the opportunities to expand my palate and discover

33
00:02:17.719 --> 00:02:23.840
new favorite foods. Lastly, appreciate the rituals around food. Whether

34
00:02:23.879 --> 00:02:26.919
it's a morning coffee routine, a special birthday cake, or

35
00:02:26.960 --> 00:02:31.560
holiday traditions. These food related rituals add richness to our lives.

36
00:02:32.240 --> 00:02:35.479
I'm thankful for these customs that mark time and create

37
00:02:35.560 --> 00:02:40.080
lasting memories. As we wrap up this part of our episode,

38
00:02:40.319 --> 00:02:42.919
I encourage you to reflect on your relationship with food.

39
00:02:43.759 --> 00:02:47.479
Beyond mere sustenance, Food can be a source of joy, connection,

40
00:02:47.719 --> 00:02:51.719
and cultural expression. Take a moment to appreciate your next meal,

41
00:02:52.159 --> 00:02:54.280
considering all that went into bringing.

42
00:02:53.960 --> 00:02:54.639
It to your plate.

43
00:02:56.199 --> 00:02:59.439
We'll be right back after a short break with our affirmation.

44
00:02:58.960 --> 00:03:10.159
Of the day.

45
00:03:11.080 --> 00:03:14.439
It's time for our affirmation of the day. Today's affirmation

46
00:03:14.599 --> 00:03:17.520
is I am grateful for the nourishment and joy that

47
00:03:17.560 --> 00:03:20.759
food brings to my life. Take a deep breath and

48
00:03:20.879 --> 00:03:24.879
repeat this affirmation to yourself. Let it sink in. This

49
00:03:25.000 --> 00:03:28.039
simple phrase reminds us to appreciate not just the taste

50
00:03:28.039 --> 00:03:31.360
of our food, but also its ability to fuel our bodies,

51
00:03:31.759 --> 00:03:35.159
connect us with others, and bring pleasure to our daily lives.

52
00:03:37.000 --> 00:03:39.639
As you go about your day, try to return to

53
00:03:39.680 --> 00:03:44.479
this affirmation. Notice the flavors and textures of what you eat.

54
00:03:44.919 --> 00:03:47.479
Think about where your food came from and who might

55
00:03:47.479 --> 00:03:50.520
have been involved in bringing it to you. By cultivating

56
00:03:50.560 --> 00:03:53.759
gratitude for our food, we can enhance our enjoyment of

57
00:03:53.800 --> 00:03:57.360
meals and develop a deeper appreciation for the complex food

58
00:03:57.360 --> 00:04:01.360
system that supports us. Thank you for joining me on
