It means that your default is low GI, healthful choices. You are an active person and without that activity, something is not right. You can handle challenging situations in constructive, healthful ways. When, without excessive concerted effort, your health is a priority, you feed your body, mind and spirit everything it needs then we declare it with joy, energy and passion:  You are unconsciously competent."
