Her Best Self: Freedom from Disordered Eating, Body Obsession & Perfectionism

Holiday's can be tough when you are stuck in your own mess of disordered eating. It can be extremally hard to take a step back & give yourself anything....am I right? In today's episode, I talk about the 8 (non-tangible) gifts that you can give yourself this Christmas. These gifts have the power to change your life, your future, & your relationship with your body & food. You DO NOT WANT TO MISS THIS ONE! Believe me, I see you.... For years of my life, I remember Christmas being excruciating. Opening up clothes from family that weren't my size or treats brought by friends encouraging me to eat them, did nothing but trigger me & push me deeper into a pit of darkness. This season, you can do something different for you. You can change the way your future unfolds. You can take back the control, just like I did. You can learn to embrace all that you are & all that you have TODAY. Yes, you may not be where you want to be. It may be hard. But use this episode as encouragement. With these 8 FREE gifts that you can give yourself this Christmas, I promise you will start your year off better & stronger than you have before. If you are DONE doing things your way. If you are TIRED of being controlled by food on a holiday that should be valued, cherished & enjoyed to the fullest, then this episode is for you.

Happy Monday Sister Friend! Have you heard of the phrase, "never miss a Monday"? Gosh, how I use to put that one on like a badge of gym honor. I would show up at 5am on Monday morning ready to slay those calories I hadn't even consumed yet. I was chained to the treadmill. I was addicted to exercise. & don't get me wrong....I hated it. But I was scared of what I would look like if I didn't workout every day. I was terrified to gain weight. I was afraid of what other people would say about me & my body. I mean, society tells us we are our healthiest when we are pushing harder, lifting heavier, running faster. Until one day I was more tired than terrified. I got so depleted from trying to keep up with my eating disorder & my unhealthy exercise behaviors, that I just couldn't do it one more day. It had to STOP before my heart exploded. If you find yourself there today friend....you aren't alone! I found peace with exercise & you can do the same. In Episode 102, I share 5 steps that you can take TODAY to change the way you view exercise. You don't want to miss today's episode of the podcast. I hope this blesses you & helps you grant yourself permission that you need to HEAL, to REST and to BE. Start small & be proud! You are creating the BEST version of you. love ya girl, lindsey Find All the Things -＞ www.lindseynichol.com ______ Coach with Me -＞Client Application ______ Email me directly -> info@lindseynichol.com ______ Join the free FB community -> www.facebook.com/groups/herbestselfsociety/ ______ Need a helping hand guiding you girl!?

Hey there girl! Can you believe that December is here & we are falalalala-ing all the way into a brand new year in a matter of weeks? I always find at the end of a year, thinking about the things that I clung to, & the not so good things that clung to me. & I wonder how I can make the next one even better. Sadly, I used to wonder how I was going to exercise away Christmas food choices, avoid weight gain & get back to a rigid routine as soon as the clock struck midnight. So much so, that I became completely chained to my eating disorder. ~ If your lifestyle requires you to track, monitor & count every food morsel, carb, calorie, or pound on the scale.....then ask yourself -> are you really living? I know one thing is for sure...freedom from disordered eating is REAL, because I myself have escaped her chains. I myself broke the patterns of unhealthy diets, restrictions & behaviors that year after year kept me trapped in my own mind & body. And, YOU can too! In Episode 98, I share all about ambivalence in recovery & I talk about the path of pain.  Tune in to the show today sis! It's a goodie! Plus, I'd be honored if you shared this one with someone you love that may struggle with disordered eating & could use a positive dose of inspo leading up to the holiday. xo, lindsey Find All the Things -＞ www.lindseynichol.com ______ Coach with Me -＞Client Application ______ Email me directly -> info@lindseynichol.com ______ Join the free FB community -> www.facebook.com/groups/herbestselfsociety/ ______ Need a helping hand guiding you girl!?

Hey there! Did you know, 80% of your daily thoughts are negative? Crazy right?! & to top that statistic off, 95% of your daily thoughts are repetitive. So what does this mean? Well, it means if you lack motivation & drive, question whether you can really ever change, or you constantly feel like you are running on an empty tank wishing you could wave a magic wand & get off the struggle bus of disordered eating to live a life of freedom.....you aren't alone. You aren't wrong. You aren't flawed. You aren't bad. You are a normal human who has been listening to that inner critic that lives inside of you & you have been believing the lie. Maybe for you, that is the lie of not being good enough. Or maybe for you, it's the lie that if you gain weight you will be judged, rejected or abandoned. Or maybe just maybe, it's the lie that you will forever be trapped in an unhealthy relationship with food controlling your life. In Episode 97 of the podcast, I share with you the 7 Inner Critics (backed by science), plus a simple, yet strategic reflection that you can do today (which will take you only 5-10 minutes), to help you reframe your thoughts so that you can transform the way you do life. Here is your Thursday reminder: Sis, you are the boss of you! You are the CEO of your life. & the reality is, it's not WHO you are that holds you back from living your very best life as your very best self, it's who you think you are NOT. It's time to stand in your truth & completely change the game! It's time to take your power back & show that voice in your mind who is in the driver seat. Listen in today friend. This episode will get you inspired & it will drive you towards ACTION :) You won't want to miss this one girl! sending you hugs & so much love, lindsey Find All the Things -＞ www.lindseynichol.com ______ Coach with Me -＞Client Application ______ Email me directly -> info@lindseynichol.com ______ Join the free FB community -> www.facebook.com/groups/herbestselfsociety/ ______ Need a helping hand guiding you girl!?
