I used to stress HARD about maintaining a balanced blood sugar until I realized that eating while stressed is no bueno for the metabolism.
So here’s a fun little mantra I use:
😮💨 Breathe Before You Eat
Just a couple deep cleansing breaths helps your body know you’re eating in peace and safety rather than in panic or scarcity.
This literally puts you into “rest and digest” mode helping your blood sugar stabilize.
So before you eat, breathe out feelings of hurriedness, shame, or anxiety and prepare your body to metabolize.
😂 Laugh While You Eat
One study found that people who ate a meal and then watched a comedy show had a significantly lower blood sugar spike than those who ate while listening to an educational seminar.
So eat with friends, eat with joy, and eat with laughter whenever you can.
💃 And Dance After You Eat
Just ten minutes of movement after a meal can help you lower your blood sugar spike. Sometimes I’ll power clean the kitchen, sometimes I’ll dance, but it’s most fun to do both at the same time.
🩸While balanced blood sugar is crucial for healthy periods, what the body wants the most is to feel safe. Fun, joy, and laughter are a crucial piece of the puzzle.
SAVE this so you can come back to it when you need that reminder 🤍
