🧠 Self-Care Week: Willpower 🍕🍭🍪🌭🍨🍥🍩
This Self-Care Week, the Keyline Care Team is looking at how food fuels your mind and body - and how to overcome the mental challenge of resistance (those powerful cravings!).
It's not about fighting your will; it's about strategy!
🎯 Overcoming Resistance Mentally:
✅ The Pause: When a craving hits, tell yourself: "I can wait 10 minutes." Creating distance between impulse and action is key!
✅ The Clean Slate: If you slip up, forgive yourself instantly. The mantra is: "That happened, but the next choice is always better."
✅ The Smallest Step: Facing friction? Just do the first tiny thing - cut one vegetable, or fill your water bottle. Don't force the whole plan!
✅ Substitution: Have a better option ready before a trigger appears (like watching TV). Swap the resistance with an easier, positive alternative.
🥗 Fuel Your Success: Healthy Options
Make resistance easy by flooding your environment with foods that prevent crashes and stabilise mood:
✅ Steady Energy: Oats, Quinoa, Sweet Potatoes.
✅ Brain Fuel (Healthy Fats): Avocados, Walnuts, Salmon.
✅ High Fibre/Volume: Apples, Berries, Lentils, Beans.
✅ Hydration: Water and Herbal Teas (Thirst is often mistaken for hunger!).
✅ Quick Protein: Hard-boiled Eggs, Greek Yogurt, Nuts/Seeds.
Empower your mind to support your body's health this Self-Care Week!
