Nutrition Month: You Nourished
Written by Allison Easton, RD
March is Nutrition Month. This year’s theme is Nourish to Flourish which encapsulates the transformative role that food and nutrition play in our lives, going far beyond simply meeting physical needs.
Nourishing yourself begins with creating space to explore the possibilities. Even a brief moment spent considering the "what ifs" of a nourished body and mind can support change. Dieting, disordered eating, and eating disorders can steal so much from you.
Consider the possibilities of "you nourished". It offers the opportunity to reclaim your time, energy, and capacity, helping you reconnect with the things that matter most in your life - the chance to flourish.
Perhaps a large part of your day is consumed with thoughts or worries about food, leaving you distracted or disconnected from other areas of your life.
What could you reclaim if you spent less time thinking about food?
Would it bring more ease and peace to your day?
Would it create room for deeper connections with those around you?
When we under-nourish our bodies, it impacts our energy levels and capacity, leaving us feeling sluggish, tired, and disengaged. If this feels relatable, imagine what you could reclaim with more energy.
Would life feel more doable?
Would it open doors to exploring new interests, taking a course, or starting a new hobby?
Would it would allow you to re-engage in activities like a sport that once brought you joy?
Rules we impose on ourselves around food often interfere with our ability to fully experience life. These restrictions can create fear that prevents us from participating in events and opportunities.
If rules and restriction are part of your relationship with food:
What would you reclaim if the fear of breaking the rules was no longer holding you back?
Would it mean spontaneous dinners with friends, saying "yes" to family celebrations, or booking that long-awaited vacation?
"You nourished" is the foundation for the flourishing, fulfilling life you are meant to live. It’s the anchor to your power, potential, and purpose.
If you are ready to explore the possibilities of "you nourished”, we’d love to hear from you, let’s connect.
