Gentle nutrition: What is it and how can you create more peace with food?

What do you see when you look in the mirror? Do you see, objectively, a body with all of its parts, ready to show up and provide you with movement, safety, and comfort? Or, do you pick apart specific areas, desiring to be ‘more toned’, ‘leaner’, or ‘smaller’?

The path to body peace is not without its rocks. Sometimes we’ll step over them and sometimes we’ll trip. What matters is that you steady yourself and keep moving forward, leaning on the people who love you to help you find your strength along the way.

Mindfulness is defined as “paying attention in a particular way, on purpose, in the present moment, and non-judgmentally.” There are many ways to practice mindfulness including movement like walking or yoga, meditation, journaling, and even during the eating experience!
