Welcome to How to Love Your Body, our first episode live from self isolation.

Today we are going to be talking about 4 tips to make this time easier with food and body. These tips will cover food, movement, body image and mindset.

Lets dive right in.

Tip 1: Food 

Satisfaction- it's important to eat food that will actually satisfy you. It's also important to eat ENOUGH. When you find yourself eating food that you actually don't want to eat and doesn't fill you - that can cause you to snack all day long. You just never feel complete. So when it's time to eat - choose something that sounds good to you. Allow yourself to have enough of it to help you feel content. Then you can move on with your day and not think about it until you're hungry again. If you find yourself grazing - it most likely means you didn't eat a satisfying meal that filled you up.


Tip 2: Movement 

Get creative, get flexible- since we are all quarantined - you may be restricted from workouts that you enjoy. Gyms, workout studios, hikes, and beaches are all closed. SO -- how can you get creative in doors? Stretch? Online exercise video? Garden? Clean? Walk in your front yard or backyard? Go up and down your stairs if you have them? Play with your kids? Rest? Yes, you can also choose to rest. At this time allow yourself to be okay with moving in different ways. This is about your mental health. Yes, it's great to move physically but what can you do to move in ways that are good for your mental health?


Tip 3: Body Image 

Now that you may be around mirrors even more since you're in your homes - make sure to not body check! Wear comfortable clothes - yes, pj's are welcomed. :) Or get dressed for the day if that makes you feel better. Now is the time to realize that we are in quarantine - and maybe your looks/ body is the least interesting thing about you? (it's true- you are so much more than your body!).


Tip 4: Mindset 

Be present, take it day by day - this is a very unusual time for all of us right now. So do your best to be as present as possible.
