My favorite kind of movement: HIKING! 😍
⠀
Fresh air, wild animals, beautiful sights... doesn’t get better than that! 🌲🍃🐿🌳🦌🌾🐍🌻🐌⠀
⠀
The reality is I don’t get to go hiking as often as I like. 😿 Which sucks but it’s reality.
⠀
Sometimes we don’t always get to do what we want to do and that’s a fact of life.
⠀
Intuitive eating and exercise are about making feel-good self-care choices that are realistic for your resources and lifestyle.
⠀
I hike when I’m able and the rest of the time I find other ways to move my bod that feel great (such as walking, stretching and yoga).

Raise your hand if you’ve ever experienced compassion fatigue or activist burnout. 🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏾‍♂️🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏽‍♂️🙋🏿‍♀️🙋🏼‍♂️
⠀
👉🏾 Here’s the thing: We’re helping no one if our mental, emotional and/or physical health is suffering.⠀
⠀
Say it with me: SELF 👏🏽 CARE 👏🏻 ISN’T👏🏿 SELFISH 👏🏾
⠀
I think it’s wonderful how passionate new vegans are about saving animals and spreading awareness. However, that can sometimes come at a cost.
⠀
✨ On the blog this week I’m sharing 10 strategies to help you go vegan without sacrificing your mental health. ✨
⠀
Veganism is a lifelong marathon, not a sprint. The strategies I put together are based on my experience as a decade-long vegan and registered dietitian.
⠀
Give the post a read and let me know what you think!⠀
⠀
And feel free to chime in with your own tips for making the transition to a vegan lifestyle in the comments!👇🏼

This is being vegan in 2019 😛
⠀
Was so happy to finally spend a long weekend in Minneapolis and visit @theherbivorousb! 🙏🏽 ⠀
They’ve got loads of vegan meats and cheeses that are all so incredibly tasty 🤩
⠀
FYI you can order on their website and have their goodies shipped to you 😏
⠀
We brought home BBQ ribs, pepperoni, two types of bacon, pastrami and Swiss cheese. 🍕🥓🧀
⠀
What would you pick?! 🤤

All colors, shapes, sizes, abilities, ages.
💖⠀
The more we appreciate the natural diversity of our species, the more we can accept ourselves and shift from self-deprecation to self-care.
💖
ALL bodies deserve respect. YOUR body deserves respect. MY body deserves respect.
💖⠀
No matter the cultural beauty ideals of the moment.

💙Today is #WorldMentalHealthDay and the theme is #SuicidePrevention.💙
⠀
‼️Did you know that every #40seconds someone dies by suicide?
⠀
I’ve been affected by suicide and chances are you have too. While suicide is a complex issue, mental health is a huge part of it.
⠀
Stigma and inadequate mental health care access are massive drivers.
⠀
❤️Want to help?❤️
⠀
Here’s how 👇🏾👇🏼👇🏿
⠀
-Check in with your friends and family (listening is great; remember that you don’t need to fix everyone’s problems).
⠀
-If you’re struggling, talk to someone you trust. It’s OK to share that you’re having thoughts of harming yourself. You don’t have to deal with them alone.
⠀
-Challenge mental health stigma when you encounter it.
⠀
-Support access to (and policies that increase access to) mental health services.

Double tap if you’re committed to ending mental health stigma! ⠀

Wish you could just stop thinking about/craving/dreaming about/wanting food?
💭⠀
Sorry, that’s not going to happen. You’re human. You need food to survive. You’re hard-wired to crave and seek out food.
💭⠀
A sign of under-eating is preoccupation with food. This is documented in research and you’ve likely experienced it yourself.
💭⠀
In my most disordered phase I would have dreams of being set free alone in a grocery store and would race through the aisles, tossing as much food as possible into my cart, often stopping and tearing open a package of something and gobbling it up as fast a possible.
💭⠀
I was starving myself. My brain was doing everything it could to signal to me that I NEEDED FOOD.
💭⠀
So the next time you’re annoyed because you’re daydreaming about food, consider that might mean it’s time for a meal or snack. 🍽
