Stop thinking of permission as something someone grants you and start thinking of it as something you grant yourself! In today's episode, your host Meagan Fitzgerlad dives into where permission fits into your life. Whether you are pondering eating that greasy breakfast sandwich or skipping that awful workout, it is okay to permit yourself to take a break from your routine!
Meagan shares client testimonials on their struggles with permission, specifically permission with food. Instead of looking at food as intimidating or a way of dieting, Meagan encourages you to look at food as an exploration of your needs. Explore foods that work for you and your lifestyle instead of focusing on what influencers or your peers are doing. Focus on what food makes you happy and give yourself the space and the permission to enjoy those things!
Tune into this week’s episode of Resting Bliss Face with your host Meagan Fitzgerald to explore where permission fits in your life! Learn more about intuitive eating, finding your workout groove, and the importance of shaking up your habits.
