This week, I'm pausing the Intuitive Eating principles series with a special episode for athletes and retired athletes. Whether you've competed in elite sport, or, like me, still overidentify with being the captain of your high school soccer team, there will be nourishment and learning in this episode. For folks who aren't athletes, take a listen, it may offer some ways to soften our consumption of sport and change how we treat our athletes.
In case you'd like to see the Athlete Body Blessing in print, I've included it here in the show notes:
May your body be a temple of strength and resilience, built upon years of dedication and perseverance.
May you honor its every curve, muscle, and scar, as a testament to the journey that brought you this far.
May you find peace in its imperfections, and grace in its limitations.
May you listen to its whispers and cries, and tend to its needs with love and kindness.
May you see beyond its physical form, and recognize the boundless spirit within.
And as you embark on the next chapter of your life, may your body be a source of wisdom and guidance, guiding you towards new adventures and possibilities.
For in your body lies the power to conquer mountains, and the courage to embrace change with open arms.
So, may you walk this path with confidence and grace, knowing that your body is a blessing, now and always. If you'd like to work with me, you can find out more about my work at She's Well Fed. I have an abundance of resource recommendations on my site, you can find them here. And remember to follow along on Instagram to be notified when new episodes are released. The work of finding peace and healing in our bodies doesn't have to be a solo effort. I'd love to connect and see if I might be the right support for you.
