VALUED NOTES:
Instead of focusing on what was, or what could be, take time to accept what it is and consider how you feel about it.
When considering what we deserve, so often we sell ourselves short and don’t take into account that we are deserving of an expansive life.
It is normal to want and have desires.
We should normalize asking for support and asking for help.
Look at mistakes as feedback, not as something you did “wrong”, but as a place to learn from.
The language of using the word “sorry” often places blame where there is none.
Ask for what you want, your time is of value, and you are deserving of the support you need to be successful.
Shift your mindset to ask what your food can do for you.
There is an importance of listening to your body and honoring its needs.
