In today's episode I am so excited to change the conversation around food, nutrition and healthy eating when it comes to New Year’s goals. For years the diet industry has used this time of year to sell their Products,  Meal Plans & quick fix Fad Diets all rooted in telling us that we are not enough the way we are. The problem is that often these restriction plans begin a cycle of  eating really well while following the plan & can lead to overeating when you fall off the plan. It can cause an all or nothing mentality when it comes to eating, honestly I see it so often. It can also lead to a cycle of not listening to the wisdom of your body & glorifying restriction/starving yourself with bland food that doesn’t satisfy which can lead to more food cravings. It can also cause a lot of internal mental battles on whether you should eat the thing, or avoid it & feelings of guilt or shame if you give in. 

For today’s episode I wanted to share simple ways that you can eat healthier right away without following a diet. It will help you create a healthy lifestyle that you will actually want to follow because it tastes really good and feels even better. Did I also mention you can start today?

Learn 8 ways that you can begin to eat healthier today:

Tip #1 - Aim to Add at Least One Vegetable in Each Meal.

Tip #2 -  Meal Plan and Prep. Learn ways to Make Meal Planning & Prepping work for you & The Why Behind This Valuable Lifestyle Hack.

Tip # 3 - Learn How & Why You Need to  Improve Your Mindset Around Nutrition & Healthy Eating.

Tip #4 -  Learn More About Nutrition. When you understand the value of what certain foods provide your body you are more inclined to ensure you consume them.

Tip #5 - Simplify Healthy Snacks. Have them ready to go.

Tip #6 -  Simplify Your Meals - if you make it simple you are more inclined to stick with it.

Tip #7 - Find Healthier Alternatives to Your Favourites.

Tip #8 - Listen to Your Body’s Cues - Begin to Practice Mindful and Intuitive Eating.

When you mindfully eat you often feel more satiated with your meal because you mind & senses have been able to realize that you are eating.

When you eat distracted or rushed and in a stressed state it affects your body's ability to digest & absorb nutrients. So take a deep breath & practice eating in this state of relaxation. We think we are what we eat, but we are what we digest & absorb & one simple way to improve that is to slow down, chill out & eat mindfully. Rest and digest is part of the parasympathetic nervous system, when you are in a state of stress your body kicks into the sympathetic nervous system (fight or flight) & we produce cortisol & redirect blood flow from our organs to our extremities.

These small steps can have a huge impact on your health over time. The hard part is that most people don’t notice the benefit right away so they quit, commit to yourself this year and have fun fueling your body.

If you enjoy this podcast and this information I would so appreciate it if you subscribed to this podcast so you never miss an episode, leave a review or share it with a friend who you know would enjoy this too.

Welcome to the first episode of 2022!

In this episode I share one of my favourite exercises that I love to do at the end of each year. Regardless of when you are listening to this episode, know that you can do this quarterly throughout the year, you could do it mid-year or even weekly.

This exercise is called Year in Review, this is what it entails:

I recommend writing this out in your journal but make it work for you.

1. One one side of the journal write out all of the things that worked really well for you during the past year.

You can create subcategories that work for you.

Here are mine:

1. Self & Health - physical, emotional, mental, spiritual (can add financial too)
2. Marriage/Relationships/Family
3. Career/Work
4. Hobbies/Leisure of Free Time

Take some time and reflect month by month what worked really well in each category listed. Once you've created your list write down why it was so good, in other words list the benefits you felt from it. This will help you recognize what you should be prioritizing so you can feel really good, you can bring this energy into this year.

2. On the other side of the sheet write all of the things that didn't work well for you, or that went poorly, or that no longer serve you with the same four categories.

The idea is not to focus on shame, failure or feeling badly but to learn the lessons and overcome barriers. This can highlight patterns that are keeping you stuck and highlight what you need to change. Often the first thing that needs to be improved upon is mindset.

After you completed both sides write down what you want to bring into 2022? What lessons did you learn? what habits need attention? Decide and make a plan. Begin with one small, attainable thing. Then keep showing up, and see the magic that you can create this year.

You can also think ahead to your year in review at the end of 2022, how do you want to feel? What do you need to implement now to make that happen.

Lastly, remember to let it be fun.

If you want more on goal setting, manifesting and setting yourself for Divine Health for this New Year sign up for my upcoming workshop over on Instagram @pam_rocca or work with me www.pamrocca.com as your new bestie and health coach. I am stoked for this to be your year!
