Angie's Recovery Tip: A Journey to The Wisest Part of Yourself

Today, I want to take you on a little journey to the wisest part of yourself. The part of you that knows.

Sit somewhere where you're really comfortable and where you're able to settle down into your body.

Take a few really deep cleansing breaths and allow yourself to come home this very moment in time and to let go of everything that you worried about today, the things that have been running through your mind causing you anxiety.

Let all that go...and settle in.

Watch the entire video for the rest of this exercise.

Angie's Recovery Tip: The Importance of Soul Care

Many people with eating disorders do not recognize how harming their illness is to their soul. 

One of the ways to counter that is by practicing soul care (or self-care).

Soul care really means slowing down and grounding yourself in the present moment instead of being consumed with achieving and striving.

Today, I'm sharing 3 criteria for soul care as well as some of my favorite activities to slow down and get into a space of soul care.

Angie's Recovery Tip Bonus: Setting Goals With Soul

How often have you set goals that did nothing but drain you and kept you stuck in a self-critical space of striving and judging yourself for not moving forward (fast) enough?

I had the privilege of interviewing Danielle LaPorte about her new book, White Hot Truth. In this special bonus video, I'm discussing the life-changing work of Danielle and I highly recommend pre-ordering her book (link below). 

I'm talking about the value of setting goals with soul and aligning them with your soul's purpose so they can really support growth. 

Recovery is really about connecting with your soul and recognizing that you are your own guru and guide and that all the answers you are looking for are already inside you.
