🦃 RELATIONSHIPS 🦃
Another piece to the Integrative Nutrition puzzle is relationships 🧩 👭
Relationships are more than your connection with your partner or spouse. Relationships include friends, family, neighbors, your grocery cashier, your banker you see every other week, your barista, mailman…really anyone you speak to more than once in your life. Relationships are wonderful to practice kindness, compassion, compromise, differences of opinions/perspectives, communication skills, and much much more.
Relationships are so important in balancing and providing happy hormones in our bodies as well as community in a world that can sometimes feel very lonely.
Of course, not all relationships are fine & dandy or sunshine and roses, but that means we have a beautiful opportunity to either, practice patience, practice challenging discussion, or practice how to leave or walkway from a bad relationship.
‘Tis the season for relationships! The next several weeks will be full of communication, discussion, compromise, laughter, tears, happiness, disappointment, and the best of all, SO MUCH LOVE.
Remember, we become most like the top 5 people we surround ourselves with, so with that in mind, be kind, loving, patient, and extra understanding this holiday season.
TOMORROW is Thanksgiving, a delicious start to the holiday season. Always take big deep breathes if you feel at all overwhelmed this season, say “no” if you’re not comfortable with something like a food item or hug with someone you don’t favor, DO NOT go broke to show your love, and most important, CHERISH EVERYTHING YOU HAVE from a roof over your head, to running water, electricity, a car, a job, anything to have gratitude and spread as much love and cheer as you can. Don’t fake it, we are all humans. Just spread love when you can and preserve your energy when you feel necessary.
Happy Thanksgiving to all and remember, YOU MUST EAT! Do not be shy and DO NOT punish yourself or tell yourself you need to “earn” your food via extreme diet or exercise. ENJOY every single bite. You’ve got this 💪 Cheers! 🦃🥂
