Self Care for the Soul: Everyday Self Care and Self Love Nia Patterson

Here’s some quick Wednesday thoughts about where my relationship with self love came from. I know I rambled a bit sorry! But this is where it all began. This is what got me on the road to body tolerance, body neutrality, body respect, and more.

Quick car chat this morning about eating breakfast, taking your meds, and the most important: Giving Yourself Credit! Give yourself credit for the self care you do!

Come listen to this episode to learn about the epiphany I had in my first eating disorder support group and how it cured loneliness and isolation for me. Learn about how that group was a life changer for me.

In this episode I take you back to the beginning of my life and the beginning of my eating disorder. I tell you how it all started and how trauma affected me as a kid. And then I fast forward to college and high school when I realized something was wrong the first time. I talk about how I tried to get help but wasn't listened to and how this made me feel unworthy of help. 

Let's talk about my desires during my struggle before I entered recovery and started practicing self care and self love. It was a hard place to get out of and to move on from. I wanted so desperately to be thin and not be fat ever again and eventually, I had to let that go. You can't shame yourself into a positive place.

In this episode, we have a quick chat about how nourishing our bodies with all foods is self care and self love. We talk about how we can be more positive with food and not only feed ourselves physically but also emotionally. I tell a story about happy memories with pizza in elementary school. I'd love to hear your happy memories with food! You can message me on Instagram @selfcareforthesoulpod
