How Do We Take Care of Ourselves?

     I think we all take care of ourselves, but HOW do we accomplish this?

     When we crave junk food, if instead we eat a healthy meal, we are actually denying ourselves - at one level.
     How often do we try to satiate our "hunger" with "junk food"? I suspect far more often than we realize. Shopping, eating, drinking, travel, work, all manner of entertainment - even real junk food. None of these, in themselves, in moderation, is necessarily unhealthy. However, insofar as these are regular substitute, fake gratifications for what we actually hunger for, they're all a waste of time, energy, our very life.

     So what do we really need? What has real meaning for us? How can we let go of junk food and live more authentically?
