There are SO many people who struggle with a difficult relationship with food, yo-yo dieting, disordered eating patterns or full blown eating disorders.. but no one wants to talk about it.
It doesn't have to be that way and there is nothing shameful about it, we all are trying to survive with the coping mechanisms we currently have, but there is a more compassionate way.
DIET TALK IS EVER PRESENT, but why not actually building a healthy relationship with food AND your body? Why not using it TO your advantage rather than seeing it as a weapon to use AGAINST yourself.
Embracing the energetics of food, movement, connection, rhythms of nature is truly life changing. Understanding what to pull in to soothe the soul, feed your true hunger, find connection, weather the storm of emotions or stabilize during times of turbulence is SO DEEPLY EMPOWERING.
Rather than grasping, punishing, & fighting to stay afloat... It's about surrendering to the rhythms & energetics of nature, finding balance through opposites, allowing emotions & using compassion, empathy & kindness to move through rather than around the discomfort.
Rather than mindlessly grabbing or militantly choosing the same foods, exercises, relationships that truly DON'T meet your needs. It's about making conscious, emotionally aware & compassionate decisions for yourself. Quieting the mind to hear what the body & soul are trying to tell you and THEN RESPOND, taking informed, calm & caring action.
It feels like freedom, curiosity, connection, flexibility, compassion & play... I'll take that over a diet any day.
