Ignite Your Inner Spark

 
Do you ever stop to think about how social media affects your mental health? Does it lift you up? Does it inspire you? Does it drag you down? Share with me! 👇 . Lately I've been reflecting on my relationship with social media and how much time I spend on it. As a business owner and entrepreneur, I use it as a way to connect with, encourage, and hopefully inspire my followers. I use it to communicate with fellow dietitians and health care providers. I use it personally to stay in touch with friends/family. . To be completely honest and transparent, some days social media is a love/hate for me. I feel like I'm staring at a screen way too often. I have a hard time keeping up with it at times. Coming up with content, what to say in captions, taking "Instagram worthy" pictures... It doesn't always come easy to me. . After some assessment and thought, I've decided I'm going to take a bit of a break from social media over the coming weeks. ✌ My brain, heart, and soul needs it! I'm planning to restructure how I spend my time both for my business and my personal life. Need to recalibrate! Need to unplug. . I'll still be on from time to time to share my IE series blog posts I'm doing and maybe if I'm feeling a wild hair of inspiration. 😏 The biggest lesson I've learned over the past few years is that self-compassion and self-care is so important. ❤ Follow your heart and focus on ALL aspects of health, my friends! There's no shame in setting boundaries and doing what's best for *you.* . #unplugging #disconnecttoreconnect #socialmediadetox
"Food is everything we are. It's an extension of nationalist feeling, ethnic feeling, your personal history, your province, your region, your tribe, your grandma. It's inseparable from those from the get-go." RIP Anthony Bourdain
Healing your relationship with food and your body is messy. Because we are inherently messy. When you look at yourself in the mirror, or feel your body's shape, it might be uncomfortable. When you are around food, it might feel overwhelmming. Please know there is nothing wrong with you, but everything wrong with our society. Be patient. You can unlearn what diet culture has taught you. Growth can happen from the most uncomfortable of situations. In the roughest conditions. When everything seems concrete, cracks form to let light in. #youarenough #perfectlyimperfect
This may not be the prettiest picture or "Instagram worthy" but real life is real life, folks. 💁Today I had the pleasure to meet up with my sister-in-law for lunch at a place I hadn't tried yet in town, an awesome little food truck, @wheelhousefood. This vermicelli tofu bowl had it going on! Cool, tangy, sweet, savory, crunchy, fresh. 👌😋 Being an intuitive eater means you can trust your body to guide you and truly enjoy spontaneous social situations where food is present. . Since I'm always talking about intuitive eating, I figured it was high time for a blog series on what this intuitive eating business is all about! ✨ Check out my latest post (link in bio) for the intro, where I give an overview of what intuitive eating is. Over the coming weeks, I'll be diving into each principle to provide tips on how you might apply them to your life. . But wait, there's more!! Haha. 😁For even more info, if you live in the Springfield area, come join me at my IE workshop @laiddownlife this Saturday, June 9th. Details can be found in the events section of my Facebook page. 😊
This weekend our family got together to say goodbye to my father-in-law's four legged friend, Lincoln, aka Stinky Linky, aka Rinkin. He was a bright little life at Fort Sparks the past 11 years. He never failed to bring a smile to my face with his funny, spunky personality. RIP in doggo heaven, my sweet buddy. 💕
PSA: You don't need an excuse to eat ice cream. You don't have to earn it. You don't have to pay for it with exercise or restrictive food intake. You can love it's sweet, creamy, cold goodness if you so desire and then go on living your life. 🍦☀✨
