We\\u2019re told that we should listen to our body.

What does that even mean? Nobody ever taught me that. Was I missing from school that day?\\xa0

When I was on my quest to get my eating and desire for sweets under control, I was always amazed at people who could eat just one cookie. And so when I started talking to them about their eating habits, I learned that they paid attention to how food made them feel. It was something that I never thought about.\\xa0

Sure! I knew when I was hungry & occasionally I knew when I had overeaten, but when I started actually paying attention to my body, I learned that my body gave me subtle cues\\xa0 that were my body\\u2019s way of communicating with me about what it needed.

Listening to your body is the first step in creating the awareness needed to decode the messages that your body sends you of it\\u2019s needs: sleep, water, recharging, food (and what type), exercise, and everything else.
