How somebody feels about us or thinks about us is their opinion. What matters most is how we feel about ourselves and, if we need to improve something about ourselves, then we have the opportunity to do that.

How to stop judging yourself so harshly The world is judgmental. It would be great if people didn’t judge others on seemingly every little thing. It w

Mindfulness is that practice of being present on purpose, not in the past where some of our trauma might be, not in the future where some of our anticipatory anxiety is, but to be squarely right in the present moment.

Welcome to National Eating Disorders Awareness Week! This week we will take the opportunity to share information about eating disorders and recovery. Please share this post with anyone who might benefit from knowing this information. Today's post is provided by the National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA):

Eating disorders are not a choice. They are complex medical and psychiatric illnesses that people don’t choose. They are bio-psycho-social diseases, which means that genetic, biological, environmental, and social elements all play a role.

Several decades of genetic research show that biological factors are an important influence in who develops an eating disorder. A societal factor, such as the media-driven thin body ideal, is an example of an environmental trigger that has been linked to increased risk of developing an eating disorder. Environmental factors also include physical illnesses, childhood teasing and bullying, and other life stressors.

Eating disorders commonly co-occur with other mental health conditions like major depression, anxiety, social phobia, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. Additionally, they may run in families, as there are biological predispositions that make individuals vulnerable to developing an eating disorder.
