Three Perspective Shifts to Make Nutrition Easier

Three perspective shifts to make nutrition easier (↓):

1. Focus on how you want to 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭 in your body as opposed to how you want your body to look.

It’s easier to practice mindfulness and maintain healthy habits when the priority is to feel good in your body.

2. Detach from arbitrary labels. Food is just food. It isn’t “good” or “bad.”

A cookie is just a cookie.
A sweet potato is just a sweet potato.

On the surface, this doesn’t seem like a big deal, but it sabotages your ability to cultivate a healthier relationship with food when you demonize it.

Let me give you some perspective:

When you subscribe to the idea that you messed up because you ate something “bad,” it further traps you in that all-or-nothing mentality.

“Whelp. I messed up. I guess I’ll eat all the things and abandon my nutrition habits until Monday.”

Relate?

When you view all food as fuel, you won’t feel the need to start all over when you eat a cookie. You’ll eat a cookie and move on with your day.

3. Don’t eat foods you don’t like. Forcing yourself to eat foods you don’t like just to be healthier creates resentment around eating healthier.

If you don’t like broccoli, don’t eat broccoli. There’s a vast selection of foods to pick from. Choose the foods you like and skip the ones you don’t.

Remember: food is for nourishment and for pleasure and when both coexist, you’re putting yourself in an advantageous position. One without the other however, is just a recipe for disaster.
