Your Essential Dietitian

04/08/2026

You were never just your productivity.

But at some point, it probably started to feel that way.

Like your worth was tied to how much you got done…
how efficient you were…
how useful you could be.

So when you slow down, rest, or feel unmotivated…
it doesn’t just feel uncomfortable.

It feels like you’re losing part of who you are.

That’s not laziness.
That’s unlearning.

Healing your relationship with work means separating who you are
from what you produce.

And remembering this:

You are still valuable
on the days you do less.

This ONE sentence sums up intuitive eating in a nut shell!

🤔 What if…

… instead of desperately trying to find a new show to watch on the countless apps available….

… you turn on some music, grab a journal, a pen, and you start writing about your thoughts and feelings?

No one has to see what you write. 🫣 No one is judging you.

It doesn’t have to make sense. You just do it. 💪 You write so fast that you may not even finish your sentences.

😃 What will happen is…

… You will experience ah-ha realizations, “oh that’s what has been going on below the surface”.

… You will have clarity on what you may need to release to lighten your heart.

… You will gain confidence on what nurturing your intuition is calling in.

💫 So, what will you do? Find another show to numb out on or quickly move into feeling lighter through journaling? 💫

Do you ever feel like your brain is against you? 🧠 🤺

It won’t stop thinking about this, that, and everything.

You’re worried about your family. You’re thinking about what’s happening in your friends lives. Work. The never ending to-do lists.

Not to mention your insecurities and past hurts. Those are there in strong force too. Guiding not only your thoughts, but also how you feel.

All this results in feeling out of control and overwhelmed. So what do you do?

📺 Zone out on Netflix naturally or grab some food to stuff down those feelings.

But as soon as that temporary break is done, all the thoughts flood back to you and your body is tense. It feels uneasy. 😩

Sound familiar?

I completely understand. Goodness do I. I am not going to claim to be perfectly past these types of experiences because I am human and I hold compassion for my normalness.

But what I can tell you is this.

- Don’t try to fight your thoughts. That will only make them stronger.

Instead…

… take a minute to pattern breathe. 💨 Try breathing in for 5 seconds, holding for 7 seconds, and releasing for 8 seconds.

Then, you can either choose to:

… be present. Rather than thinking about everything that is swirling around you and impacting you, shift your attention to the present moment. Become a witness, the observer, to that which is right in front of you. See it for its beauty. 👀

OR

… write down all that is swirling around with the intention of releasing it. You’ll be amazed how this act of taking it from your brain to paper magically provides so much ease. ✍️

If you know me at all, you know I think that new years “get on the band wagon” healthy goals are cringe worthy.

Such propaganda. 🤮

Make huge unrealistic goals just so they can fall by the waitside yet again in just days due to being a normal human. And then you have a nice open invitation to spiral right into the shame cycle (shame = the direct opposite of health)

Ugh! Nope! Not for me (anymore)!

This being said, I believe strongly in the power of speaking your reality into existence. Which is done merely through setting an intention.

You might be wondering… what is the difference between a goal and an intention. To me, there is a strong energetic difference between a propagandist goal set due to societal pressure vs an intention that you can feel deep in your soul.

Here is how I find my intention…
… close your eyes
… take a deep breathe
… and simply ask yourself… in one word, “what do I desire”?

Allow the words to dance around your body until you feel “the one”. Then allow it to concrete into your brain. And if you want to get really crazy… journal about that ONE word.

💫 My word intention for this year is LISTEN. 💫

🗣️🗣️🗣️What is yours? Where do you want to put your attention? What do you want to speak into existence?

Can’t wait to hear yours 💜

The one thing that helps me feel most like myself is ________ 💜 (see comments for mine)

There is a VERY strong distinction between moving your body for fun, joy, and gentle nurturance versus repenting food choices or to force its shape. Where might you be falling today?

Imagine yourself with 💯 % confidence in your food choices. How do you also imagine this impacts your confidence throughout other areas of life? 🤔
