Last week, we discussed emotional eating and they importance of feeling and expressing our emotions to allow these emotions to flow through us.   We all experience anger, but it's important to recognize it and find healthy ways to express it. Holding in your anger can have serious consequences, from physical and mental health issues to damaging relationships.  Today I am leading you through an embodiment practice to help you safely release any tension or anger that you may be holding in.  Join us as we explore the power and importance of expressing anger in a healthy way.

Perfectionism has no place in a healthy lifestyle.  While it's important to strive for progress and improvement, perfectionism can actually hold you back and prevent you from living a healthy, balanced life. Perfectionism can lead to unrealistic expectations, excessive self-criticism, and an all-or-nothing mindset that can make it difficult to make sustainable lifestyle changes. Instead of focusing on being perfect, try to focus on making small, achievable changes that will help you to live a healthier, happier life. Remember that nobody is perfect, and that it's okay to make mistakes and have setbacks. The key to a healthy lifestyle is balance and self-compassion, and it's important to be kind to yourself and celebrate your achievements, no matter how small.

Feeling hungry is a completely normal and necessary part of life, and it's important to listen to your body's hunger cues in order to maintain good physical and mental health. It's completely okay and healthy to feel hungry, and it's important to remember that it's not your fault if you feel hungry. Hunger is a natural biological process that helps to keep your body fueled and energized, and it's important to honor your body's needs by eating regular, nourishing meals. Feeling guilty about being hungry can lead to disordered eating patterns and negative self-image, and it's important to remember that there is nothing wrong with feeling hungry or with needing to eat. Trust yourself and your body's needs, and remember that it's okay to nourish yourself and take care of your physical and mental well-being.

Pursuing wellness is about so much more than just trying to achieve the perfect body or striving for physical perfection. It's about finding balance and taking care of ourselves in all aspects of our lives, including our physical, mental, and emotional health. To pursue wellness without becoming obsessed, it's important to focus on self-care practices that nourish and nourish your body and mind, rather than ones that contribute to negative self-image or anxiety. This may include things like regular exercise that you enjoy, nourishing yourself consistently and adequately, getting enough sleep, and finding time to relax and de-stress. It's also important to be kind to yourself and remember that nobody is perfect, and that it's okay to make mistakes and have bad days. Remember to celebrate your achievements, no matter how small, and to focus on your personal growth rather than just trying to meet external standards of beauty or success.

Body image is about so much more than just the way that we look.  It's about how we feel about ourselves as whole individuals, and it can be influenced by a wide range of factors including our upbringing, our relationships, our cultural and social environments, and our personal experiences. It's important to remember that our bodies are just one aspect of who we are, and that there is so much more to us as people than just our physical appearances. By focusing on developing a positive body image, we can learn to appreciate and celebrate all parts of ourselves, and build confidence and self-esteem that extends far beyond just our bodies.

Maybe you don't believe me, but I want you to look at your track record with diets. How did they impact you mentally and phyisically? Were you able to keep all of the weight off?

Have you stepped away from diet culture? Maybe you are not longer following a particular diet or meal plan right now.  Today I share my story, of a client who considered herself to be an intuitive eater because she no longer eliminated foods, tracked calories, or measured portion sizes anymore, but...food anxiety managed to sneak in while she was struggling with health issues. In this episode, I will share how restriction can show up in sneaky ways.  Ditch The Diet Course https://www.melissahala.com/ditchthediet Join our free fb community The Diet Ditcher Collective https://www.facebook.com/groups/177162666399208 Get Your Copy of Befriend Your Body Like A Badass on Amazon!  https://www.amazon.ca/Befriend-Your-Body-Like-Badass/dp/B09XC4TJ5R/ref=sr_1_1?crid=35SZX86VSYPAD&keywords=befriend+your+body+like+a+badass+daily+journal&qid=1655322880&rnid=5264023011&s=books&sprefix=befriend+your+body+like+a+badass+daily+journal%2Caps%2C270&sr=1-1
