Mindful Pilates

The Nutrition and Image coach (thats me) has a holistic approach to health and well-being through eating healthy, balanced diet, realistic exercise and positive self image. So it was excitng to be able to attend a great workshop at the weekend given by Body and self's Viv Worral.

Viv's aim was to deliver a thought provoking and informative day on mindfulness in relation to body movement and posture.

This workshop was a fantastic opportunity for me to personally experience the connecting of mind and body through posture, movement and mindfulness. As well as seeing how the workshop theme was perceived by all involved.  It was a nice touch for all the participants to bring a 'pot-luck' lunch, which was full of lovely homemade salads, breads and soup.

The outcome was a very positive one and ticked all my boxes for realistic exercise and positive self image and awareness

CBT and diet

Cognitive behavioral therapy or CBT is a common type of mental health counseling (psychotherapy).CBT helps you become aware of negative thoughts, so you can view  situations that may be difficult to you more clearly and respond to them in a more effective way.

Cognitive behavioral therapy can be a very helpful tool in treating mental disorders or illnesses, such as anxiety or depression. It can be an effective tool to help anyone learn how to better manage stressful life situations. 

CBT techniques can be a very effective tool when used in conjunction with nutrition and diet advice to help tackle underlying issues that may have arisen for what ever reason.

It is a non judgmental technique and client driven it's key elements are emotion thoughts behaviour and physical sensation.

I am now working with CBT techniques along side nutrition and weight management.
