Intuitive Eating and Happiness: What's the Connection

Listen Later

How intentional are you when it comes to food? 🤔

Our bodies are SO good about telling us what it wants, but sometimes we aren't that great at listening. Alllllll month long we have been talking about really focusing on what our bodies are telling us and intuitive eating. 

I'm going to let you in on a little secret: I actually don't like the term intuitive eating! My take is to be intentional, not intuitive because some people can’t trust their intuition. There, I said it! 

While I am NOT an intuitive eating coach, I do want to help you be more intentional and mindful about what you put into your body. The type of food we eat impacts our overall health -- both mentally AND physically. Did you know food was so powerful? 💪


Let's start nourishing our bodies! Here are 10 steps to get started:

  1. Reject the diet mentality. Stop dieting.
  2. Recognize your hunger. Eat when your body tells you that you're hungry and stop eating when you are full.
  3. Make peace with food.
  4. Challenge the 'food police'.
  5. Feel your fullness.
  6. Discover the satisfaction factor.
  7. Cope with your feelings without using food.
  8. Respect your body.
  9. Movement - feel the difference
  10. Honor your health - gentle nutrition

    11. Being more intentional will lead to a happier you. I'm here to help you live your best life!
