Utilizing an Emotional Diet- Introduction

Many of us pay careful attention to our nutritional diet.  We cut portions, eat low-fat snacks, and try to squeeze in a salad here and there.   We are particular about the way our clothes fit, what the scale registers, and the ratio of fat to muscle tone.  Unfortunately, when it comes to our emotional health, many of us fail to expend the same amount of care.  Emotional health like our physical health requires conscious thought and effort in order for us to achieve our personal goals and to bring the best parts of ourselves into existence.  In the next few weeks we will work on creating and utilizing an emotional diet.
