The word "yet" can be a powerful mindset shift and create a foundation of trust, both needed for better health and wellness.

The word "yet" is mainly used to refer to something a person is waiting for and expecting. The event has not happened so far.

Did you know….

Your preoccupation with food could be related to your need for more significant social interactions.

We often think food is the problem when food is only the messenger…

There are many aspects of learning and embracing a mindful approach to health and wellness; the best part is that all that is required is an open mind to start.

What gets in your way of dipping your toes into Mindful Eating?

Nourishing yourself may include physical, emotional, mental, or spiritual nourishment. What you tend to “grows.”

For example, I hope to nourish my well-being this year by getting more sleep. When I get better sleep, I have greater focus and attention, make healthier food choices, and feel better. The action of getting better sleep enables you to have growth in other areas of your life.

Today I have two gifts to help you enjoy the holidays and prepare you for 2023, the year of the UNDiet. The good news is that you can start now, and it doesn't include a meal plan, food rules, or willpower.

Acceptance and curiosity open the door to the journey, adventure, and getting off the diet roller coaster.

How do you feel about calories on a menu?

The old me was 100% in; I would have thought it was a dream come true. In fact, for years, I fantasized about opening a restaurant affiliated with "WW." It would have the entire menu broken down by nutritional content and points. A place I could eat and quickly do my calorie math. It would feel safe.

Mindful eating is a way to break from the latest diets. When you practice mindful eating, it connects your mind with your body and the lines of communication to what your body has to say. You will hear the voice in your head that says I am starting to feel full, you will feel sensations you never noticed before and hear the voice in your head that notices your true level of fullness.
