The foods you choose to eat when you’re spirally aren’t because they taste better than veggies, it is because they regulate your nervous system almost instantly. You have some to rely on these foods because they don’t ask anything from you when you’re already dysregulated. Knowing this can be helpful: you don’t have to beat yourself up because when you reach for food it isn’t a failure of will power. You’re overwhelmed and in search of relief to keep going.

Consider this your permission slip to do what’s best for YOU!
🔹 Love a diet soda? Enjoy them guilt-free.
🔹 A show before bed relaxes you? Watch it.
🔹 Your mom overstepped a boundary? You can take time and distance.
🔹 Didn’t sleep well? Hit the snooze button more than once.
🔹 Enjoy veggies when they’re covered in cheese? Serve it.

There are all kinds of guidelines and online chatter about how to “live a good life”, but the best life you can lead is the one that feels good to you! So, get curious about what works for you and don’t beat yourself up if it isn’t what society says it should be.
