Theme of today's clients - why don't we trust our bodies?
In the current climate of thinness, health (at times under the guise of fear mongering about weight) and 'stop eating processed foods', this influx of information can make us forget that your body is actually a really great guide in telling what feels good, and what doesn't.
Sometimes we fixate on the fact that our bodies are broken and therefore needs fixing. Where as, I prefer to look through the lens of "what is my body asking for, let me tune in and figure out what it needs to do it's thing."
Too often - we jump straight to information that we think will solve the problem and overwhelm ourselves with answers that aren't always the right ones.
Body trust isn't a very well known, nor a well practiced skill. You need to slow down, create a pause and then connect with these subtle cues; is that fatigue, hunger or anxiety? Maybe you want to eat when you're not hungry - because that's OK too.
I challenge you to view your body with kindness and begin to trust what it does and doesn't feel. It does a hell of a lot for each of us daily, so why wouldn't we try and work with it?
