"I know what feels good to my body because I have such a predictable routine." - Katy Harvey

Welcome to another episode of Rebuilding Trust With Your Body podcast! In today's episode, I will be sharing with you 5 very actionable habits that can help you in your Intuitive Eating journey. Don't worry, this isn't going to be like adding a bunch of things to your already busy to do list. It's about putting some of these things in place that will save you time and energy, while also helping you learn to connect with and trust your body without having to think about and obsess over it all the time. You can find these five things that we're going to talk about today, along with five more things that will support your intuitive eating process inside one of my most popular free resources that I've created, and you can check that out in the link below.

So in this episode, we'll cover five and if you want the other five, you'll have to go grab the guide. Because otherwise this episode would be not only way too long, but I think it would become very overwhelming. And I want you to leave this episode feeling like you can pick one or two, or even all five of them because they're pretty simple to pick these things and actually implement them right away. Let's dive in!

5 Habits to Support Your Journey to Intuitive Eating

Number 1: Have a consistent sleeping and waking schedule

• A part of your circadian rhythm is your appetite
• Your body gets confused if your sleeping or waking time is inconsistent
• Goal: appetite cues to be clear and predictable

Number 2: Eating Breakfast within an Hour After Waking Up

• Eating breakfast relatively quickly after waking up will fire up your digestions and your metabolism for the day
• Eating breakfast satisfies your hunger

Number 3: Keep a Running Grocery List that Sound Good

• Allows your brain to release that food thought
• It reduces our mental load especially about food

Number 4: Take 3 Deep Breaths Before You Eat

• Allows you to be fully present with your food
• Activates your parasympathetic nervous system
• Allows your digestive system to do its job better

Number 5: Practice Checking-in with Your Body

• Listen to your body
• Reminding yourself to be more gentle to yourself

Key Quotes

"I know what feels good to my body because I have such a predictable routine." - Katy Harvey

"So the act of pausing before you eat also gets you in the mindset to stay present in the moment and to check in with your body and see how hungry you truly are, and what you're hungry for and what else your body might be needing from you." - Katy Harvey
