Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you. [Matthew 17:20]

  • Our Mustard Seed Nutrition is taking a short hiatus to welcome our new baby. 

See you in 2023!
  • How many of us eat our lunch in front of our computer or phone and finish before we even know what we ate? When you’re eating while distracted or on the go, you’re not doing much for yourself in the way of self-care.

Here I have some simple ways to implement self-care nutrition in your daily live:

- Stick to the basis: simple changes become manageable and sustainable. Make a goal to just include more vegetables in your diet or drink more water throughout the day. You can experiment with what habits work for you.

- Actively plan your self-care: If you want to make self-care a priority, it needs to be something you plan rather than just happening. Add certain events to your calendar and create a routine.

- Be conscious of how these changes make you feel: Be aware of what you do, why you do it, how it feels, and what the outcomes are. Part of this is being mindful when eating.

- Be flexible with food choices: Allowing yourself to have a variety of foods takes away the guilt and shame. Choose foods you enjoy that fuel your body and you enjoy.

- Eat foods you love with people you love: Food has the power to simultaneously bring people together, create memories, and nourish us. Plan a meal with your friends or family!

As another reminder, self care is personal and different for everyone. Though I do recommend them, you don’t have to do every single item on this list every single day of your life. Some days will be crazy busy, some days just crazy.

Don’t judge your self care based on what someone else calls their self care. You do you, focus on you, trust your body and it will let you know what it needs.
How do you practice self care through nutrition? Let me know in the comments below:
  • Self-care is caring for yourself at a physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual level. 

I invite you to examine what is getting in the way of your self-care. Part of this is looking at what things in your life you can cut out because they are interfering with your ability to connect with your body. 

When you are living a chaotic and stressful life it can be difficult to tune into your body and hunger cues as well as take the time to plan for a nutritious meal. 

Ask yourself if you are incorporating self-care in each of these categories to reduce body-mind disconnect and decrease stress:

*PHYSICAL: Are you getting enough sleep? Do you feel rested when you wake up? Do you engage in physical activity that you enjoy on a regular basis?

*EMOTIONAL SELF CARE: Do you make time for self-reflection? Are you aware of your thoughts and don’t judge yourself for them?

*SPIRITUAL SELF CARE: Do you spend time in nature? Do you make time for reflection?

Once you take time to reflect on those aspects of your life it may become clear if stress is disrupting your ability to connect with your body and health.
From there, there are simple self-care tips you can start including into your day to day routine to help you incorporate self-care nutrition in your diet. 

Stay tuned for more information in my next post!!
  • You’re allowed to Eat What You Want ! 

What would happen if you gave yourself the permission to eat the foods you enjoy?

I like this quote because it means that you will naturally begin to eat in a regulated quantity that meets the natural demands of your body. Satisfaction won’t leave you “wanting” like depriving does.

We try to convince ourselves that dieting works, that it’s our inability to stick to the diet that’s the problem. But nothing about that is true. Dieting doesn’t work.

Dieting often causes us to consume foods that we don’t enjoy, and experience guilt and anxiety when we eat what we actually want.

Allow yourself to have pleasure when eating, there is nothing wrong with that! What do you feel about this quote, do you agree with this?

  • Are you ready to start making your meals more satisfying?
You might be wondering where to begin right?

Here’s your step-by-step plan for increasing your satisfaction with food:

1. Pick one meal or snack each day

2. For 3-4 days this week at your chosen meal/snack, commit to increasing satisfaction in a couple ways. Start by picking 1 or 2 from the different elements here: Environment, Visual, Sound, Taste/texture, Hunger/fullness

3. Before you begin eating, take a moment or two to observe your meal and surroundings.

4. Reflect on and journal about what gives you positive feelings in this moment.

If you continue with this exercise for a full week, you’ll start to notice that you get more pleasure from your meals and snacks.

Increasing your satisfaction with food isn’t hard at all! It just takes some practice!

  • Use this great quote as you start to find satisfaction in food! 
When possible, don’t settle for foods that aren’t satisfying or pleasing to you.

For example, you might start eating a cookie in the break room and realize it’s stale. If you trust that you can eat something else if you’re truly hungry, and that you can go buy a fresh cookie whenever you want, it doesn’t feel restrictive or punishing to throw out the stale cookie. 

Of course, there will be times when the foods you eat might not be the most pleasing or satisfying food. If you’re hungry and you need food, you should always eat! Not every eating experience will be perfect.  But when you are able to, make your eating experience enjoyable.

Remember that you don't have to eat a perfect diet to be healthy. You will not suddenly get a nutrient deficiency, or gain weight from one snack, one meal, or one day of eating. It's what you eat consistently over time that matters.
