Today’s topic is practicing gratitude. I love this topic so much. We have been talking about this in a lot of the previous episodes – as a tip to self-care, self-acceptance, romanticizing life, healthy habits, and probably even more. Because practicing gratitude can have such a big impact on our mental wellbeing and on the way, we see ourselves and others. So, as you see I brought this topic up in some of the previous episodes already. But because it is such an important topic, I wanted to make a full episode about it. To get a little more in detail of what gratitude actually even exactly means, how we can practice it, what the benefits of it are and what the obstacles may be. I really hope you like this topic as much as I do.

The topic I wanna talk about with you today is protecting your peace.

What does inner peace mean, why is it important to find inner peace in our life and how can we find more inner peace, what are ways and tips we can add into our everyday life that can help us be more mindful, help us be less stressed and help us protecting our peace. This is all going to be part of todays episode. In our often busy days and full to-do lists it can sometimes be so difficult to find time for yourself, it can get hard not to lose yourself in all that is going on and all that you still have to do. That’s why it is so important to learn inner peace.

I really hope that you will like it and that it can help you understand the importance of finding and practicing inner peace and that you can also find strategies that work for you. You are doing great, and I am so proud of you!

Discipline and Consistency.

We’ll talk about these two today. What they mean, why we need both of them to achieve steady growth, what benefits consistency and benefits can have, what tips can help us become more disciplined and consistent and how important it is to listen to ourselves and how we can learn not to put too much pressure on ourselves.

That’s all going to be part of today’s episode! So, let’s get started.

 

Discipline and consistency are the two keys to health and fitness.

Discipline and consistency go hand in hand. Without discipline, it’s hard to be consistent in your actions and without consistency, the mental muscle of discipline will weaken over time. So, discipline leads to consistency.

Today it's going to be a little bit of different kind of episode. As you probably have read in the title, l'm gonna talk about my journey with an anxiety disorder today.

It is a step for me to talk about this in detail but I wanted to open up about it so that maybe, even if it's just one person, can feel less alone, feels understood, heard, and feels hopeful.

My journey with an anxiety disorder is also the main reason for why I started this podcast. I want to talk about these topics to help you take care of yourself, learn to love yourself, create a healthy lifestyle and feel good in your body. Because you matter!

For the start into this new week, I have a new episode for you and todays topic is: romanticizing your life. Sounds beautiful and it is. We will talk about what romanticizing life actually exactly means, where this trend comes from, in what ways it can help us to a happier life and how we can actually romanticize our own life more. Because in the end that’s what you probably wanted to find out as you clicked play. But let’s start with what romanticizing life means and where this trend comes from.

I really hope that this episode can help you to romanticize your life and that you can find ways and ideas to add more mindfulness into your routines and find tips to add beauty and joy into your everyday life.

It’s May 1st today, so why not set a little challenge for yourself and your health for the next 31 days? It definitely doesn’t need a new month or a new week or a new year to start new habits or routines, but it’s a great way to get into a mindset of a fresh start. So, we’re gonna use this beginning of a new month for a little monthly challenge. But no worries it’s to be YOUR monthly challenge. We want something that works for YOU, to improve YOURSELF, something that you enjoy and won’t set you up for failure – we wanna create a great month and don’t wanna make you feel overwhelmed.  We’re gonna talk about different ideas of how a monthly challenge can look like so that at the end of this episode you get to set a challenge that you love and is attainable for you!

A thirty-day challenge is simply the idea of a small change you can incorporate into your life each day for the next 30 days. 

Comment under my latest Instagram post on the @becauseyoumatterpodcast account what habit you chose for this monthly self-improvement challenge and let’s support each other!

In today’s episode we’ll talk about an important topic which is: healthy eating.

In order for the human organism to survive and function, it needs energy and nutrients. Our body receives this through the supply of food, which gets dissembled into its individual nutrients during digestion so it’s available to the organism.

We’ll talk about why our body needs food, the different parts of nutrition, I’ll share 10 rules that can help you keep a balanced and healthy diet and of course I’ll clarify some of your diet myths. I tried to break down things so that it’s easier to understand.

I hope that this episode can help you implement more healthy eating into your everyday life!

Today’s topic is exercise. More concretely health exercise. What benefits does regular exercise have. What are the reasons to exercise next to our physical appearance? How can we build a healthy exercise routine we can stick with? What do we need to pay attention to when working out. In what ways does our nutrition affect our exercise routine and our body? Why is it so important to move our bodies and how can we make exercising fun? I’ll answer all these questions!

Exercise is an important part of a healthy lifestyle. Exercise prevents health problems, builds strength, boosts energy, and can help you reduce stress. It can also help you maintain a healthy body weight and curb your appetite. But we’ll talk about all this in detail.

Trust your body. Learn from your body. Nourish your body. Exercise your body. Be proud of your body - because you matter!

We’re talking about an important topic today which is: How to accept yourself. What does it mean to accept yourself, what areas does self-acceptance affect, why can it be so hard to accept yourself, what is the difference between self-acceptance and self-esteem and how can we learn to accept ourselves? That’s all part of today’s episode.

Most of us think that we will accept ourselves once we achieve a certain goal, look a certain way, or fit an image of who we think we should be. But accepting yourself is about accepting all of you, as you are, right NOW. It’s not about accepting yourself ONLY when you’re “perfect”. Because we will never be and that’s okay.

I hope this episode can help you understand the meaning and importance of self-acceptance and can help you find strategies and tips that help you become more self-accepting and self-loving. Embrace who you are! You are wonderfully made and you matter.

After the “becoming that girl” trend we now have the “in my healthy girl era” trend next. What does that mean? How can we understand it? What are the benefits of this trend and when is it toxic?

TikTok and Instagram reels are full of content of girls posting videos saying they’re in their „healthy girl era“.

This „healthy girl era“ trend is about becoming the best version of yourself. Learning how to become the best version of yourself is a life-long journey that starts with finding yourself. You’ll grow and change at each new chapter. It’s a lot of work, but your personal growth is worth it. It’s important to focus on YOURSELF and only use these reels and TikTok’s as an inspiration and not as guideline. We are all different and different habits will work for different people and that’s okay. Becoming the best version of yourself is about yourself growing into a better you and should never be a competition or comparison with others. In this episode I'll talk about all of this for you - because you matter. <3
