Food & Body Image Day 1

In my body, the physical sensation of hunger feels like...nervousness.
 To better honor my hunger in a timely, caring manner it may be helpful to experiment with....eating small portions when hunger arises rather than trying to hold it off until desperate.
In my body, the physical sensation of fullness feels like..comfort.
 To better honor my fullness in a timely, caring manner it may be helpful to experiment with...eat until no longer hungry, then finding something else that brings comfort.

In my body, the physical sensation of feeling satisfied from an eating experience feels like..relief.
 To better allow myself to experience satisfaction from an eating experience it may be helpful to experiment with....eating what I want to begin with, but with smaller portions.

In my body, the physical sensation of emotions I experience during a challenging food or body image moment feels like...I don't like it.

To better allow myself to take care of myself during these challenging food or body image moments, it may be helpful to experiment with.....not having them?

self worth day 3- intentions

Today’s Day 2 of the Self Worth Challenge. I just got done learning about the power of intention and one of the biggest things that stuck out to me was I cannot take care of everyone, but I can take care of me. Part of today’s challenge was completing this intention exercise where we create 6 different kinds of intentions. The categories are creativity, loving kindness, appreciation, growth, abundance, and receiving. I’m going to share my Top 3 favorite ones that I created.

#1 is focus on health. #2 is let go of others' problems and #3 is ask purpose of problems.

Self Worth day 1

Today is Day 1 of this Self Worth Challenge that I'm doing (with Amanda @doit_like you). I'm feeling _stressed out about it and am excited for  some peace . Today's all about living in alignment with yourself and really discovering what lights up my soul and what depletes it. I've created these two new rules for myself to help set better boundaries around the things I want to take time for. Rule #1 is _Eat within my points allowance and Rule #2 is _have  a weekly fun event.
