So many clients question me when I suggest challenging themselves with foods and food scenarios outside of their current comfort zone.
Many clients have pushed back asking why they can’t just stick to foods that they love that feel comfortable and safe?
In order to experience true food freedom, it’s vital to practice challenging yourself with different food exposures that mimic real life scenarios.
This could be navigating food while traveling, practicing spontaneity with eating when plans change (I know “practicing spontaneity” sounds contradicting 🤣), preparing for life transitions like going to college and eating on campus.
This week, after taking lunch to my kids at school, we found a leak in our home leading us to relocate for a bit. Thankfully my amazing in-laws are very hospitable to 2 adults, 3 kids and a hamster 🤣
Situations like this remind me why it is so important for clients to continuously practice flexibility with food so that when plans change, because they will, they are equipped to adjust and adapt with limited to no anxiety.
