. BREAK THE RULES . Eating disorder recovery is all about breaking your own rules The ones youve set to keep yourself in check To keep you from being "too much" or too big From doing things wrongly or facing ungodly amounts of guilt . These rules give the illusion of calming your anxiety Of making you feel like you're doing things how you should By not taking too much Or doing too little . When really They CREATE the anxiety . Because if you didnt have those rules You wouldnt be so stressed out about breaking them You wouldnt have to worry about doing or not doing certain behaviors You wouldnt have to hide things Lie to your loved ones Isolate yourself Plan, track & measure every little thing Or "earn" your right to be here as a human being . Letting go of these rules isnt easy Breaking each one will feel like quitting a drug cold turkey . Every time you choose not to listen to the eating disorder You'll get this feeling... . Its a mix of panic, guilt, anxiety....& relief That panic, guilt & anxiety is the ED But that little flicker of hope Of relief Of FREEDOM... . That's what youve gotta hold onto Because thats the REAL you . Recovery = Freedom Freedom from all the compulsory behaviors & the anxiety Freedom from a life controlled by meaningless numbers And rules that are really only stopping you from doing one thing... LIVING . So please Dont ever give up Make it a point today to break at least one of your rules Just once. Prove to yourself that nothing bad will happen if you do.

. MULADHARA . AKA the root chakra is located at the base of the spine It's the "root" of your being & is associated with survival As well as the connections you have with your body, the 🌎 & your environment . If you struggle with disordered eating You're likely dealing with extreme excesses &/or deficiencies in your root chakra And having such dramatic imbalances so low in the chakra system Effects the energy throughout the entire rest of your body as well Causing your other chakras to become imbalanced And you to develop a multitude of unhealthy habits to cope . . A few common signs of an imbalanced root chakra in ed sufferers are: . ➡ Trouble with consistency (eating, exercise, sleep, expectations, etc) . ➡ Not feeling at home in one's own skin . ➡ A hard time nurturing oneself & others . ➡ Difficulty trusting, focusing & grounding . ➡ Anxiety . ➡ Not feeling safe . ➡ Feeling disconnected & isolated . ➡ Trouble sitting still & relaxing . ➡ Hoarding food . ➡ Bingeing/Overeating . & these are just a few! . One of the many reasons why my 1:1 recovery program is so unique & effective Is because we work on healing you as a WHOLE- Mind, body & soul And one of the ways we do this is by taking a look at where you're experiencing blocks & imbalances in your chakras . This Sunday I'll be sending out an email to my Tribe With detailed advice on how to balance the root chakra in ED recovery . If you'd like to get on the list to receive these tips Or would like to find out more about my 1:1 holistic recovery program Leave a 💗 below & I'll send you a special link to join for FREE .

. THE GREAT JOURNALING CHALLENGE OF 2019 . Why not choose a New Year's resolution that's centered around getting to know yourself better Rather than trying to change yourself? . The more we embrace who we are The more easily we become exactly who we're meant to be . Journaling is one of the most effective tools for understanding what's going on in our lives & minds I almost always send my clients away with a journal prompt after every session Keeping a journal is an easy form of self care That improves your writing skills Betters your relationship with yourself & others Keeps things from getting bottled up And helps you get better at understanding & articulating your feelings . It also gets you out of your own head Which is key to staying sane when it feels as if your thoughts are tearing you apart . To help you in starting your own consistent journaling practice I will be posting a new journal prompt every day of 2019 over in my FB group- The Soulfillment Tribe Not only to hold myself accountable But also to open up the floor for you to connect deeply with yourself And share (if you want) what you discover with a group of amazing women who are dedicated to supporting you evwry step of the way . What do you say, Babe ARE YOU IN? . Say "YES" below & I'll send you a special link to enter Can't wait to do this together! .

. We were given these bodies to experience this magical universe & all its beauty. But instead of being grateful & using them to carry out our true purpose, we try our hardest to change them. We treat them like they're never enough & often say we hate them. It's time we start appreciating our bodies for what they really are & what they allow us to do. Today I invite you to release attachment to appearance, societal standards & opinions & just be here now. Love, give, live & be grateful for the grand opportunity that is your life. . . . . #veganvibes #instahealth #soulcoach #vegan #loveyourselfhealthy #veganism #bodydysmorphia #perfectionist #loseweightnow #holistichealth #selflovejourney #holistichealing #vegansofig #naturalbeauty #loseweightnaturally #thedivinefeminine #innergoddess #thesoulfillmentapproach #veganlife #holisticfitness #dietrecovery #freeyoursoul #ownwhoyouare #orthorexiarecovery #takeoffthemask #selfcareproject #acceptyourself #edrecovery #selfacceptance #soulspeaking (at Portland, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bqr9rzjAJBL/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=6wj38esdg828

Love Yourself Healthy? What Does She Mean?!

A while back I lost a pretty significant amount of weight. Like 60+ pounds.It was a lot of hard work, but I was happy with my new body. I was confident and comfortable in my own skin for the first time in my life.

What I didn’t realize until It was too late was that all I had done was lose weight. I hadn’t focused on working on myself from the inside. I never questioned myself about why I had struggled with compulsive overeating/binge eating my whole life. I hadn’t worked on finding healthy ways to cope with uncomfortable emotions, even though I was well aware I was an emotional eater.

This inevitably led me to pretty quickly put the weight (and then some) back on as soon as I tried to maintain my loss. Life is this crazy, messy, beautiful gift that involves all sorts of emotions. Without having found any healthy coping mechanisms, it was so easy to slide right back in to old habits. 

It took me a while to come to terms with this. To except that being my healthiest self and staying that way was going to mean a lot more work then just losing pounds. 

So my motto, love yourself healthy was born. I decided that I needed to work on accepting and loving myself as I already was in order to make it to the ultimate goal. I needed to accept and love myself every step of the way. I needed to stop the negative self talk. I needed to find ways to cope with anxiety, sadness, and anger that didn’t involved food. I needed to all this in addition to losing weight or I would be destined to remain overweight and unhealthy forever. 

I’m convinced that sustainable weight loss is not possible any other way. So this is what love yourself healthy means to me. I am literally going to love, accept, and cherish myself through all the icky mess until I come out my best self.
