Forget about guilt, forget about any diet that you plan to start in January. There must be like a hundred new diets. I'm sure you can find a hundred new diets online. Forget about them. No, just be kind to yourself in These Last Two Weeks. Have some empathy. Rest, be like your best friend to yourself. That's the best advice I could give you.
As the festive season rolls in, many of us feel the pressure to indulge and then compensate with a strict diet come January 1st. But Philippe Tahon, a seasoned psychotherapist and coach, has a different take. In this short yet impactful episode, Tahon shares his thoughts on why kicking off a new diet at the start of the year might not be the wisest move.
He delves into the stressors that accompany the holiday season—shorter days, colder weather, and financial pressures—and how they can make dieting even more challenging. Instead of setting yourself up for a restrictive diet, Tahon encourages a more compassionate approach. He advocates for mindful and intuitive eating, emphasizing the importance of self-care during these busy weeks. His message is clear: be kind to yourself, enjoy the festivities without guilt, and use this time to rest and recharge.
By focusing on self-compassion and mindful eating, you'll be better prepared to greet the new year with a healthier mindset. This episode is a gentle reminder that you don't have to succumb to the societal pressures of starting a diet just because the calendar flips to January. Instead, listen to your body, treat yourself with kindness, and give yourself the gift of self-care this holiday season.
Philippe Tahon's empathetic advice is perfect for anyone feeling overwhelmed by the holiday hustle and looking for a more balanced approach to health and well-being.
