Increase your confidence with your diet as a woman with these two eating psychology skillsets

In my professional experience, there are two eating psychology skill-sets, once mastered, that transform a woman's eating in such a way that she simply defaults to taking care of her body, but doesn't overthink or ruminate about her eating.

Here's what they are:

One capacity: Eating well when on your own

Eating well on your own means you're able to:

• feel relaxed and comfortable in your own company

• be in touch with how you feel and respond to what you want and need

• accept emotions as a normal

• feel in touch with your body sensation

• value cooking for one as a loving act of self-care

• like and accept yourself

So that's the first area to look at. You can ask yourself, "What are my eating habits like when I'm alone? Do I like how this is going? What do I need to learn so that this goes well?"

The second Capacity: Eating well around other people/out in the world

Eating well around other people/out in the world means you're able to:

• stay connected to your own preferences and bodily needs

• can allow others to have their own preferences and bodily needs

• accept that you are on your own path with eating and others are on their own paths too (and these do not have to look the same)

• notice how different people and environments impact your eating

• know how to adapt to different circumstances around food and other people (restaurants, vacation/travel, holidays, being around family, being around friends with food hang-ups, etc) that still leaves you feeling healthy and empowered

That's the second area to look at. You can ask yourself the same question, "What are my eating habits like when I'm out in the world or around other people? Do I like how this is going? What do I need to learn so that this goes well?"

The invitation here

Both areas often challenge a person to look at how they feel about themselves, how connected they are to themselves, and comfortable they are with themselves.

Because the field of nutrition (especially via the world of social media influencers) is dripping in pressure to perform to perfection, many people place such stringent expectations on themselves that they lose touch with their own body and their capacity to be adaptable to circumstance without feeling defeated.

Growing up and maturing around your eating will ask you to learn how to eat well when you're alone, how to eat well when you're out in the world, and look at anything that gets in the way of you doing so in order to heal!

With love & respect,
