I would agree! I also let myself get so busy that the day gets away from me. I’ve been setting my timer to go off each hour to check-in with how I am feeling and take a few gentle breaths. It works well when I remember to reset the timer!
Breathing seems so simple, but it can be an incredibly effective tool when used consistently.
This is an excellent insight.🎉 When life feels out of control (health uncertainties), people often restrict their diet. Food is one of the few things we have total control over! So, restriction can be a coping mechanism. However, considering other coping mechanisms (addictions, etc.), food restriction is one of the least harmful (as long as you meet your basic nutrient requirements).
Remind yourself (i.e. your Protector) that you are restricting your diet to bring a sense of control (which is okay). When the difficult time passes, it will make it much easier to relax the restrictions.
Exactly! When something makes sense, it reduces the uncertainty, which improves our quality of life.
Yes, you have come to the right place.🌷
I give specific guidelines (i.e. start reintroduction on Week 4), so participants have a structure. But everyone charts their own path! 🌷 I’m glad you enjoyed the hummus. You can make (or purchase) many different types of hummus – and it freezes beautifully. It may open up many new mealtime possibilities. Check out – Pulse Dip – in the Simple Flexible Recipes (Bonus Resources).
