Ride the waveeeeeee 🌊

Heard of urge surfing? If not, here's a quick breakdown of what it is:

Urge surfing is a skill or a technique that can be used to ride the wave for urges for engaging in target behaviors or any maladaptive behaviors that we know are not serving us and staying present in the life we want to be present in. The goal of urge surfing is not to eliminate desires, urges or impulses — that's nearly impossible! The goal is to learn that not all desires, urges or impulses must be satisfied or responded to.

Put this in your back pocket for the next time you're having a hard moment. 💙

A round up of book recommendations from some of our teammates for ! 📚 Swipe through for the recommendations, and read below for their thoughts on the books. 🤗

James: "The Endurance was a ship that sank in the Antarctic ocean during a science expedition in 1915. The team (23 sailors) took over 100 days to hike over 800 miles back to civilization and every member of the crew survived. It is an amazing story of humans coming together and overcoming the odds to reach safety. It is a reminder to me that no matter how bad things may look at any given second; there is always hope and a path forward."

Tobi: "The inner work is for those who have already started their journeys to understanding themselves. This book pulls from many cultures, religions, philosophy and psychology offering a humble invitation to those who yearn for a deeper understanding of lasting happiness."

Rachel: "The book Group by Christie Tate is a captivating true story about a woman from Chicago participating in group therapy and changing her entire life for the better. She is brutally honest throughout the entirety of the book, exposing the most vulnerable parts of herself to prove to herself and others that real change is possible and tolerating uncomfortability and distress can be worth it. I highly recommend to anyone struggling with feeling hopeless, especially regarding their mental health, grief, stress, life changes, and anything else life has decided to throw at you. Enjoy!"

Christine (Slide 1!): "Penguin Problems by Jory John is the story of an unhappy penguin who learns about acceptance of the present moment and perspective shifting to view his world differently."

Christine (Slide 2!): "Grover Goes to School by Dan Elliott tackles very adult issues such as codependent behaviors of giving beyond one's capacity and minimizing needs as seen through the child's eyes of the Sesame Street character Grover . He wants all his new class mates to like him so he trades his favorite crayons and snack items, comes to understand the benefits of setting boundaries and advocating for himself, and learns that he can still make friends even when he sets boundaries."

Even if you feel ready for recovery, it can be scary... especially in the early days.

You may have questions floating around your mind like "What if I don't know who I am without my eating disorder?" or "What if I miss the control?" or "What if I have to *feel* things instead of numb them?"

If you relate to any of these thoughts — you're *really* not alone. It's normal to question what life will be like without your eating disorder.

The last four slides here will help offer a bit of a perspective shift... What if you love who you become? What if food becomes joyful again? What if you allow yourself to take up space? Take what messages you resonate with. 💙

Diet culture has taught us to fear things that aren't *inherently* scary. 😵‍💫

Things like carbs ("they'll make you gain weight over night!") and fats ("fat-free means 'healthy'") and rest days ("you're lazy if you skip the gym!").

But those fears are based on lies — lies that are so deeply engrained in us that they feel impossible to leave behind.

So this is your gentle reminder *not* to be afraid of carbs (they're your body and brain's main source of energy!), fats (your body needs dietary fats to absorb things!), rest days (your body *needs* to rest), and "bad" food (food isn't "good" or "bad" and you don't need to earn or justify eating).
