In this last episode of the year, we tackle the new year's dilemma: setting intentions vs. resolutions in the context of eating disorder recovery.

The new year often means setting goals and sharing them, but it can be overwhelming. For those in eating disorder recovery, the focus on body changes and diets during this time can be triggering.

In this episode, we explore mindful intention-setting as a more compassionate approach to recovery. 

Points covered:

• The pressure of New Year's resolutions
• How it affects eating disorder recovery
• Mindful intention-setting as an alternative
• The importance of flexibility in your goals
• Building a support system
• Practical tips for setting meaningful intentions
