Non-Diety
Self-Care Coaching

Fridays, February 9, 16, 23

Originally a challenge, the Non-Diety Self-Care coaching is for you if you'd like some support around a specific self-care concern. Could be anything (non-diety) from nutrition, to Intuitive Eating, to exercise, to habits (making or breaking habits), etc.

Self-Care things I helped clients with in 2023:

Finding motivation to exercise/move
Making more time for self-care (i.e. like pausing to take a lunch break) as a woman always looking after her family and putting her needs last
Learning to say "no" to colleagues when they take advantage of your generosity
Easing nervous eating from social anxiety
Learning to take drinking breaks and slowing down drinking overall
Learning that it's ok to eat for pleasure and not just for fuel
Making a plan to get started on a creative project
Addressing the barriers that prevent you from getting started on a creative project

Why is it "Non-Diety"?

Because I'm an Intuitive Eating counselor and my work is based in a non-diet/anti-diet, body neutrality container

Because the coaching is about nurturing emotional and mental well-being by engaging in activities or routines that help address these directly or indirectly

Because dietary restriction, such as from dieting, can be a form of self-punishment and this challenge is the exact opposite of that

Because "Non-Diety" also means engaging in self-care routines that are NOT based in, one, self-judgment (i.e. I'm going to walk everyday because I've been so lazy), two, "shoulds" (i.e. I'm going to exercise more because I 'should')

That means that there is no pass-fail, successful or not successful, etc.

PROMPTING QUESTIONS FOR SELF-CARE COACHING

In which areas of your life are you not feeling fulfilled or quite how you'd like to feel
Are your basic needs like sleep and nutrition being met?
Is there a habit that you engage in that is counterproductive to your well-being at the moment? Like excessive screen time, social media or phone use? Drinking?
Do you feel like fun is missing in your life? Have you thought about taking a dance or art class but feel silly about it, like it's not a 'responsible' thing to do?
Is your body craving more movement?
Do you feel a longing to start a creative project or hobby?
