Episode #2- The One Where We Learn to Listen to Our Body

In this episode, Britt is chatting all about listening to your body! This is a super important element of our wellness journey , and in the busy hustle and bustle of life it is often overlooked. In this episode she breaks down why it is important to listen to the signals your body is sending you, and how you can do so better!

Our body has a way of communicating with us when something isn't right, and though symptoms like ...

• bloating
• acid reflux
• excess gas
• diarrhea
• constipation
• excessive fatigue or sluggishness
•  food intolerances
• chronically elevated stress levels
• thinning or dry hair 
• weak, peeling, cracked fingernails
• difficulty losing weight
• difficulty sleeping
• worsening PMS symptoms

...are common, it doesn't mean they're normal. Let's stop accepting this is just our normal life, and recognize when we need to get to the root of the issue and make some changes!

The first step in that is listening to our body, and we can do that better by

1. Keeping a Food, Mood & Lifestyle Journal
2. Making Self - Care a Priority
3. Be Aware of How you React to Stress
4. Be Aware of How your Body Responds to Exercise
5. Put it in your Schedule
6. Mindful Mealtimes

Britt expands on each of these in this episode, have a listen!
