6 Ways to Nourish Your Body and Mind (Without Food!)

self-nourishment Dec 10, 2024

It's easy to become overwhelmed by and obsessed with food - what you're eating, what you're not eating, what you'd rather be eating - and to start labeling foods as "good" and "bad," healthy and not healthy, inflammatory and anti-inflammatory.

While we believe what you do and do not put in your body is extremely important to your well-being, we also believe that it's only part of what keeps you healthy.

Here are some non-food-related ways you can nourish your mind and body.

  1. Go for a drive - Turn on your favorite tunes, podcast or audiobook and drive somewhere or nowhere. The active, forward motion of driving can provide motivation, boost ambition and lead you to new places. It’s also a great time to think and dream and sing. Just be sure to drive safely and maintain awareness of those around you.
  2.  Call a friend - There are many ways to communicate with one another, but sometimes there’s just nothing better than physically talking to someone. Even if you haven’t seen or heard from them in a while, a phone call lets someone know you’re thinking of them. It takes little effort to build real connections that nourish your body and mind.
  3. Take yourself to dinner and a movie - It might sound crazy to go to dinner and a movie by yourself, but it can be quite empowering and nourishing. If you find yourself stressed and overwhelmed, give this one a try. You may be surprised by the results.
  4. Create something - Art has been scientifically proven to improve one’s well-being. You don’t have to be artistic to benefit from tapping into your creativity. Whether it’s sewing, knitting, painting, sculpting, photography, filmmaking, dancing, drawing or even doodling on a napkin, creation is part of who you are as a human being.

  5. Cry - Did you know that crying is a literal hormone release? Sometimes all you need is a good cry to help release pent-up anger, stress or negativity. Put on a sad movie, read an emotional book or become nostalgic. Crying is a sign of strength, not weakness.
  6. Laugh - Laughter doesn’t cure all illnesses, but it certainly helps! Watch a funny movie or TV show, hang out with your giggliest friend or, if all else fails, watch some cat videos or compilations of people slipping on ice. Your body and mind will be nourished, guaranteed.

Changing your lifestyle and nutrition habits can be difficult, and cravings can rear their ugly heads when you are sad, stressed or bored. Instead of filling the void with food use one or all of the above to help nourish your mind and body.
