8/2/2019

If you haven’t already noticed, there is a bit of a theme this week on my Youtube channel. All the videos I have posted this week are related to improving your ability to be an intuitive eater as well as to improve your confidence around food.

Losing your body expectations is so important in Eating Disorder recovery and freeing yourself of expectations allows space to truly listen to your body. Our mind’s get in the way of what our body is trying to tell us it needs and wants. When we free ourselves of body expectations, we are more able to listen to our bodies which then contributes to improved food confidence – win, win and WIN! Am I right?

Food confidence, what’s that you ask? Food confidence is literally as it sounds, having confidence around food. (INSERT VIDEO – food confidence). Having food confidence means that food does not cause you anxiety or guilt. You can walk into a room that’s filled with food and not go insane with thoughts and fear. Sounds nice, huh?

Affirmations for intuitive eating and improving food confidence?! Yes, you read that right. If you are new to affirmations or are still a nay-sayer, consider checking out my video here on what affirmations ACTUALLY are and if they work. Once you’re sold, this video can be super helpful to improve your confidence around food and to practice becoming more of an intuitive eater.

If video isn’t your thing, that’s ok, you can read the affirmations for yourself below! But first, some tips to get the most out of this affirmation practice:
  1. For best results, say these affirmations OUT LOUD, not just in your head. If you’re not ready for that just yet, in your head is a good place to start!
  2. For best results, say these affirmations in front of a mirror. Again, if you’re not ready for that, that is ok, just start wherever you are.
  3. Music is awesome, isn’t it? I would encourage you to listen to relaxing or inspiring music while you do these. This is an amazing background song for affirmations! (Insert song!) I learned of this song at Erin May Henry @erinmayhenry and Samantha Hearne’s @a.happy.mind Be Unstoppable event at #BeUnstoppableNYC. It’s awesome and so powerful!
  4. Now read each one slowly, and with conviction (meaning with feeling as though you actually mean it, even if it’s just in your head).
  5. Repeat all the affirmations two or three times.
  6. Do this every day or as often as you can! Consistency and persistency is key!
