Status Updates From Gut Feelings: Healing the S...

Pg. 11 - There is no best method that holds the secret to perfect health for all humans…If we all ate and exercised exactly the same way we would still all look, weigh, and feel very differently. We are all individuals and even the healthiest food for one person may not be the best for you.

The relationship you have with yourself will be the longest and most consistent of your life – you may as well make it a good one.

“Infuse your day with micro-moments of stillness and nourishment. …You can eat the healthiest foods under the sun, but if you’re serving your body a big slice of stress and shame every day, you are sabotaging all the good you are trying to do for your wellness.”

Today’s quote from Dr Cole:
“I see so many people who eat perfectly, but remain unwell in part due to the unhealthy emotional pain and stress they are holding on to. Forgive yourself and forgive others…you are not your negative thoughts & emotions. Take them captive & observe them for the transient things they are. Build a healthy relationship with your self. Compassion for self flows into compassion for others

JOMO - Joy Of Missing Out
Instead of saying yes to every little thing, commit only to the things that are most important to you, those that are in line with your values and goals. Your time is sacred. Allow yourself space to breathe without always feeling on edge.

Quote from Gut Feelings:

Repeatedly choosing to eat foods that don’t love you back is like staying in a toxic relationship and wondering why you are still miserable. Choosing not to eat foods that don’t love you back isn’t restrictive – it’s self respect.

What’s just as bad as junk food for causing inflammation? Chronic stress, toxic productivity, perfectionism and trauma.
It makes for “shameflammation” 🙄
