August 27, 2020 Journal Prompts for Staying on Top of Your Goals
Journaling is honestly one of the best things I've started to do for myself. It's something that I personally make a priority daily and since doing so, I have seen it make a drastic impact on both my mental and physical health. It has helped me become more connected to my goals, dreams, and ambitions, and ultimately it has helped me gain the confidence I need to go conquer them!

In this episode of Embrace Your Real, I share the exact same journal practice I do daily when I feel like I need some extra accountability for sticking to the goals I want to reach and the dreams I want to make my reality. So take out a pen and paper, because I know you're going to want to take some notes!

August 22, 2020 5 Reasons Why I Don't Believe in "Cheat Meals" + 5 Things to Do Instead
When we are striving to build the body we want, many of us love to label foods as good or bad, and we drastically restrict ourselves to only eating those "bad" foods once a week as a part of our "cheat meal".

I don't believe there is anything coherently bad about the foods you are eating during your cheat meal, what I think is wrong is the fact that you need to label it as a cheat meal and that you only allow yourself to eat the food you actually want to eat once a week.

This mentality is toxic when it comes to developing a healthy relationship with food and your body.

So in this episode of Embrace Your Real, I share five reasons why I don't believe in a cheat meal in hopes of opening your eyes to how your cheat meal is impacting you. Plus, I share five things you can do instead.

July 30, 2020 Food Commentary You Need To Drop
"I ate way too much, I feel so fat" or "I shouldn't be eating this" are things we say more often than not when it comes to eating. But what are we trying to achieve when saying these things? Why do others need to know this? Are we looking for validation? For approval? For them to stop us from eating more? What are we looking for? There really is no point. All verbalizing these thoughts does is add to our toxic relationship with food. When we verbalize these thoughts about food, and our body when we eat food, we only trigger ourselves to fall deeper into a negative relationship with food. But, you also make others feel bad about their food choices, too. So that's why in this episode of Embrace Your Real, I share food commentary you need to drop explain my reasoning as to why it's toxic.
