eating clean?

Start saying “YES!”

Change your internal narrative.

Instead of focusing on what you feel should be removed from your lifestyle, focus instead on adding more nourishment. Making time to fill your day [and your body] with beneficial practices and whole foods will effectively reduce the less healthy choices.

Be patient with yourself and take a moment to feel gratitude for the amazing things our bodies are capable of when we take care of them.
