I started this blog because I was so motivated by the research I was doing on veganism that I had to have an outlet to share it. The science behind a plant-based diet was blowing me away. The food was unexpectedly delicious. I was excited about the changes I was seeing and feeling in my body, and I needed to get all my ideas out of my head and onto some place where I could keep track of them all. (Is that why the rest of you blog?)
Yeh, right now, I'm definitely taking the escalator.
However, has anyone heard of the Law of Undulation? I first read that phrase in the book The Screwtape Letters by CS Lewis. Basically, the law of undulation is the concept that everything waxes and wanes, ebbs and flows. First, we’re excited and then we’re not. We’re happy, and then we drift away and we’re not happy. It’s a natural rhythm, like the tides or breathing–in and out. The funny thing about it is that while we’re “in,” we can’t imagine every being out. And, when we’re “out,” we can’t imagine that we’ll ever be “in” again.
Well, a few months ago, I was deeply “in” to being vegan. Now, I’m less “in.” I’m nottotally out. Oh, no. I’m not eating meat or dairy. I have not abandoned this lifestyle–I’m just not as enthusiastic about it. I’m not as enthusiastic about exercising either. Or cooking. Or blogging about eating, exercising or cooking. I’m just in that part of the cycle. I’m “out” right now.
I’m going to give myself a pass though. Who knows, I might see something from the outside that I haven’t seen from the inside. I’m still going to exercise and eat vegan. I’m just not going to beat myself up if my jogs are slow and my food is unimaginative. I’ll get back to it, and when I do, I won’t be able to imagine ever feeling like I do now.
