Embrace Your Real

I know you've heard me talk about gratitude practices before and how it's something I prioritize daily. I know you've also heard everyone else talk about it, too. I know many of you probably think it's just this fluffy practice that won't actually help, or that it sounds great but in reality you don't think it will actually help change they way you feel in your life. For all of you who feel this way, I have put this episode together to prove you wrong!

I'm going to dive into WHY gratitude is so powerful and why you should stop overlooking it as a daily habit you practice. I personally think my gratitude practice is just as important as nourishing my body with what it needs and honoring my body with movement.

Are you ready to find out why?

I know when we are embraced int he holiday season, eating all the treats, drinking more holiday cocktails, and a little bit more out of our routine than we usually are, it's common for insecure thoughts about our body to arise.

When these thoughts of insecurity arise, it takes away from us experiencing our lives to the fullest. All we can concentrate on is what our body does and doesn't look like and the deprivation and punishment we need to give to our body. This is no way to spend the holidays, and NO WAY to live your life whether or not it is the holidays.

That's why in this episode of Embrace Your Real, I want to share a new way to look at your body that will help you see your body in a new light.

I know this time of your is the time of year when we are all tempted to over-indulge. And it's the time of year where most of us DO over-indulge. So if we do, then what? What do we do afterwards? How do we navigate it? In this episode of Embrace Your Real, I share 5 steps to help you feel GREAT after an episode of over-indulging.

The holidays can be an extremely hard time for those who have fitness goals, you have temptation surrounding you, yet at the same time, you don't want to deprive yourself. How do you navigate through it? IS IT POSSIBLE to keep working towards your fitness goals while still enjoying the holiday says? I know many of you think NO, but I'm here to tell you that you CAN with the five tips I'm about to share with you.

Did you not accomplish what you wanted to this year? Are you beating yourself up about and calling yourself a failure?

The end of the year is coming up and I know for many of us, it magnifies the fact that we are not where we thought we would be. We feel frustrated we didn't accomplish what we said we would or we didn't get to where we wanted to be. I know this can be extremely discouraging, frustrating, and puts a damper on our self-esteem.

That's why I wanted to share a few reminders with you to help you look at what you "didn't accomplish" in a different light and help you change your mindset so you keep pushing forward.

I have a super important reminder I need to share with you.

The holidays can be a really hard time of year for those of us who struggle with our body image and our relationship with food because for some reason, people like to make comments on our body and the food we eat.

Unfortunately, we cannot control what other people say, but we can control what we do, how we respond, and the way we speak to ourselves. That's what I want to dive into today in this episode of Embrace Your Real to help you enjoy the holidays and not allow the comments of others and your own insecurities to take the fun out of the holiday season.
