Before I continue, I would say that this week you will get to read stories about self-love. As I mentioned in my previous post my content will be around these Niches and self-love is one of them, so if you haven’t read my article yet then you can check out here:
Okay, so let’s continue……….
It would not be any exaggeration If I wanted to call myself a hardcore Non-Vegetarian around two years ago because I was. I liked non-veg very much. I used to eat non-veg at least twice a week. Every Sunday, non-veg came to my platter, seeing which I felt delighted, and my hunger increased even more. Whenever it was not cooked, I felt uneasy. Even while traveling, I mostly ate non-veg. I loved fish more than red meat and chicken.
My Non-Veg Journey
I have been eating non-veg since childhood. I used to eat fish, chicken, and meat. I still remember when I was just 5–6 years old I tasted biryani — a dish made of rice and chicken/meat, and I loved both chicken biryani and mutton biryani. When I tasted it, an involuntary expression came out of my mouth — Delicious! My father used to cook delicious biryani.
Imagine how a hardcore non-vegetarian transformed into a vegetarian. I never thought in my wildest dreams that I would become a Vegetarian. But how did all this happen? How did I start hating non-veg? Why did I start to feel irritated? What was the reason for this?
When I Became Vegetarian
It all started in the year 2022 when I was going through stress. There was a lot of turmoil in my personal life which was affecting my career as well. That time was very bad. Well, as time passed I stepped into self-love. Two books: The Secret and The Alchemist helped me a lot in getting relief from stress.
What Happened to Me When I Started Embracing Self-Love
These books are truly treasures. Apart from this, I watched podcasts related to self-help and while watching the podcast, the words of a monk impressed me a lot. He was talking about why you shouldn’t eat non-vegetarian food. How does it impact your overall health? How does it impact the Earth? How does it impact all living beings?
I started to feel guilty while eating it. So I made up my mind and completely cut down non-veg from my platter. And I can’t tell you how happy I was when I left it. I felt immense pleasure in adopting vegetarianism.
I’m Happy to Become A Vegetarian
Now I have become a vegetarian and feel so happy. My mind, body, and soul remain calm and feel immense joy. I feel delighted and active throughout the day. All this happened when I adopted self-love. All this happened when I listened to that amazing monk in a podcast.
My family’s reaction was like this 🙄Yes, they rolled their eyes on me, why I wasn’t eating non-veg. It was difficult for them to believe how could a girl who was crazy about non-veg give it up. But I did it.
I have always heard people saying that they want to quit any bad habit but are not able to quit. Everything is possible, it all depends on your willpower. Your willpower must be strong after that you will see how much you have improved.
All I Did This For Mother Nature
I love nature. Nature has given us many options to eat, so why don’t I eat only that which is very beneficial for both me and nature? When I listened to that monk, I hated myself while having meat. Why I’m eating this? I asked myself. And then I said, NO—not anymore.
Just for my taste buds, I don’t want to kill animals. They have emotions like us. When we get even the slightest injury, it hurts so much. Just imagine when they have to lose their lives, what a heart-wrenching scene it is. I get goosebumps just thinking about it.
Animals are part of nature. They matter as much to the Earth as we humans. So then I made up my mind I won’t eat non-veg again.
It’s been almost two years since I left non-veg and I feel so happy. I never felt a craving for non-veg. Even since I left it, I have become more calm and peace-loving. A heavy burden has been lifted from my mind, body, and soul.
Summing Up
Becoming a Vegetarian was my choice, it was my own decision and I’m proud of it. In short, if we want, we can do anything. You just have to get out of your comfort zone and then see how life becomes happy.
