Morning prep; chill and ground
Got a busy day ahead of consults so I like to get mentally prepared by the simple grounding exercise of feeling the sand between my toes and the cool water of the beach.
Immersing yourself in cold water, such as having a cold shower or bath, can lower you heart rate, increase the feel good endorphins and reduce the stress inducing hormone cortisol.
A simple technique that may help to ease symptoms of depression, anxiety and stress. It may also be used as a “circuit breaker” to help stop the habit of turning to or away from food (disordered eating) as a means to cope with emotions.
Body talk
This is how I spent a chunk of my childhood and teens, upside down.
Gymnastics is a demanding sport and it has a tough body ideal; girls have to remain child like but have the strength of a man... just weird. Sadly I lost a team mate to Anorexia Nervosa, she died at 14. In the sport my statue worked well but outside of the sport I was teased for being little, even as an adult I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been patted on the head for being a bit over 5ft. I survived gymnastics without developing an eating disorder but not some amount of body shaming. I know though my experience doesn’t compare with the amount of shaming and discrimination those in larger bodies have to deal with.
So what’s the best way to talk about other people’s bodies, whatever size or shape they are?
Simple... don’t!

Mindset
Change to bring about wellness is something I guide others with all the time and it can start with the smallest change in thoughts with powerful results. The power of the conscious and subconscious mind is amazing.

Happy World Egg Day!
Yes it’s a thing...
Eggs are amazing sources of high quality protein and 13 vitamins and minerals. But here’s a lesser known fact, they contain choline which helps with a baby’s brain and spine growth during pregnancy and also helps prevent dementia and Alzheimer’s.
