Mental Resistance Training
We’re not talking barbells; we’re talking exercising your brain and rewiring negative neural pathways into positive ones.
Daily Affirmations
Use affirmations that resonate with your recovery goals and repeat them daily. These can be as simple as "I am safe," "I am deserving of health," or "I choose freedom over fear."
Eating to Feel Good
Eat more of the foods that bring you energy than the ones that don’t. Soon, you will naturally gravitate towards those foods because you want to feel good. Then, food becomes your ally because you use it for a positive purpose: to feel healthy and alive!
Make Mealtime a Luxury
Making mealtime something that feels like a luxurious act of self-care will completely change how you view food and eating. Eating will become something that’s cherished because you view nourishment as a pause for self-love during your day.
Engaging in Community
Participate in support groups, online forums, or social media communities where individuals share their recovery stories and offer encouragement.
Daily Self-Care Exercises
Develop a set of self-care rituals to practice regularly. By prioritizing activities that bring you comfort and joy, you become kinder to yourself.
