Summary

Self love and self care are big topics in the mental health discussion around nutrition and fitness. But as nutrition coaches and teachers we see some issues in how this is being applied. See, self-soothing isn't self-love / self-care, self-soothing an emotional response to an external stimulus, compared to a logical response to on-going issues one might be facing, self-love. This is a key distinction to make as one equals long term progress, the other short term progress. Join us as we define the terms, explain the terms, and equip you with skills to practice self love in the right way so you can get more success with your fitness and health goals.
