What are some small moments of joy around you? . Met with a friend the other day and saw some red flowers mimicked by the red truck, and then this twisty tree/bush (?) surrounded by more colorful flowers. . The colors and the unexpectedness of all of it made me smile, and connected me to what was happening in that moment specifically. . Until then, I was in my head stressing about a lot of things, and when I slowed down to notice the moment, I felt my stress dramatically decrease. . What is one small thing you take joy from today? . . . . . . . #intuitiveeating #HAES #nutritionmindset #dietitian #wellnesscoach #wellness #healthylifestyle #healthytraveller #healthytravel #healthateverysize #travelhealthy #mindfuleating #youarebeautiful #mindsetiseverything #selfcompassion #bekindtoyourself #ittakestime #nondietdietitian #positivity #nobullying #nomorediets #positiveselftalk #bodypositivity #bodykindness #mindfulness #foodfreedom #antidiet #getoutdoorsmore #smallmomentsofcalm

You *are* capable of relearning how to eat in a way that honors your body, lifestyle, personality, and preferences! . This is a quote from someone I'm working with. She didn't believe that she could ever feel controlled around food, and now she's experiencing a new approach to eating. . Want to learn more about my approach? Curious to see if it could work for you? . Take a look at my website or sign up for a get-to-know-you call: all links in bio. . . . . . #intuitiveeating #HAES #nutritionmindset #dietitian #wellnesscoach #wellness #healthylifestyle #healthateverysize #travelhealthy #mindfuleating #youarebeautiful #mindsetiseverything #selfcompassion #bekindtoyourself #ittakestime #nondietdietitian #positivity #nobullying #nomorediets #positiveselftalk #bodypositivity #bodykindness #mindfulness #foodfreedom #antidiet #testimonial #quote #noselfcontrol #nodiscipline

Somedays, imperfection feels like a brave choice. As a recovering perfectionist, it's challenging for me to accept that I'm not *there* yet, wherever "there" is. . It's a challenge for me to accept that change takes time, effort, and gentleness. Sometimes I want to rush it, push myself through it, boot camp style. . It's helpful during these times to remember that a work in progress can be frustrating and hopeful at the same time. The self-talk is not always true. It's also helpful for me to talk with my coaches, counselor, and friends to give me support, perspective, and TRUTH. . If you want some gentle perspective on your work-in-progress status in the nutrition, wellness, food, or eating areas, let me know! 💕 You don't have to come at this alone. . . . . . . #HAES #nutritionmindset #dietitian #wellnesscoach #wellness #healthylifestyle #healthateverysize #mindfuleating #youarebeautiful #mindsetiseverything #selfcompassion #nondiet #intuitiveeating #bekindtoyourself #ittakestime #nondietdietitian #positivity #nobullying #nomorediets #positiveselftalk #bodypositivity #bodykindness #mindfulness #foodfreedom #antidiet #workinprogress #patience #imperfection #imperfectlyperfect

Today (in this moment) #intuitiveeating for me looks like animal cookies, tea (in a nice mug my mom gave me), and journaling. . Even as a provider who helps others to experience this transformation in the way they think about their food, I still experience challenges and have to work through them like you. . I've noticed I haven't been so mindful of why and how much of foods I'm eating lately, as I catch myself eating past comfortable fullness, with a frequency that's unusual for me. There's a lot going on and as I journal to process emotions, make an effort to connect with what will truly satisfy, and pay attention to my changing satisfaction with my foods, I'm seeing myself return to eating choices that make me feel good in my body. . If you notice you're also experiencing challenges, let's chat 💕 I've been there, I know what it's like, and we'll work together to help you get through this too. . . . . #HAES #nutritionmindset #dietitian #wellnesscoach #wellness #healthylifestyle #healthateverysize #mindfuleating #youarebeautiful #mindsetiseverything #selfcompassion #nondiet #bekindtoyourself #ittakestime #nondietdietitian #positivity #nobullying #nomorediets #positiveselftalk #bodypositivity #bodykindness #mindfulness #foodfreedom #antidiet #cookies
