I was helping one of our neighbor boys the other day with some training, helping our neighbors sons is something we do in the natural, organic, whole foods lifestyle community. The more you give the more you are really practicing “healthy living”. After I had finished I began talking to his mother and she was discussing how happy she was to be getting a divorce form her son’s dad. Something I wish we didn’t do in the natural, organic, whole foods community. (I am not saying that there is never a situation where divorce is not required, but that divorce is used too often (even among natural organic whole foods enthusiasts) when working out problem relationships is a much healthier choice for everyone.) “After 25+ years there wasn’t anything worth saving.” she said. I could see that she was very determined to end her marriage and so, while she was speaking, I watched her son to see how he was reacting to this. He hated it and it was obvious to everyone but his mother. I could see that his mom and dad’s divorce was tearing him up. This was not healthy living for him. She, on the other hand, couldn’t figure out why he wasn’t seeing the benefit of all this.
When it comes to healthy living in the natural, organic, whole foods community then eating is not the start and finish to this lifestyle. How we think, live and believe in everyday practical ways should also be considered, which is why the Harvest Source Whole Foods Journal includes sections on Healthy Living, Healthy Thinking and Healthy Believing in addition to Healthy Eating. Of course, everyone I talk to is always speaking of commitment to the natural, organic and whole foods way of life but what good is that if our relationships are in the trash can. If our body is good and emotions are a wreck how can this be healthy? Let me know your thoughts on divorce as it relates to Healthy Living by posting a comment below.
