I used to go on a holiday and not actually arrive until it was almost time to leave. It took years to realize that wasn’t a personality flaw….it was my nervous system needing way longer than a week to switch into a present, relaxed mode.
This is exactly why nervous system regulation is non-negotiable in my work as a dietitian and body image counselor. You can’t diet or willpower your way into being present. If your nervous system can’t switch from work mode to play mode…or from mind-over-matter into the chill zone….no meal plan or cure set of affirmations is going to override that.
If you’ve ever needed a whole vacation just to start unwinding, you’re not broken. Your nervous system just hasn’t learned yet that it’s safe to relax that fast….and that’s something you can actually change 🫶🏼 I’m happy to guide you in doing that.
