    There's only one 1New Year resolution you need to make to improve your health and wellbeing in 2024. Undiet your life.

    How to reclaim happiness and joy when life feels hard with Dr. Tanmeet Sethi, MD

    Hopefully, for you, the holidays are a time for connections, happiness, and joy. However, they can also be a challenging time if your family, friends, or social gatherings trigger emotions stress, and anxiety around food and your body. It's okay to set boundaries with family members who don't support your intuitive eating journey and desire to undiet your life. Undieting is a process of letting go of food rules and rigid exercise routines. This process can trickle into other areas of your life like work, friendships, and intimate relationships - especially if they create extra stress around food and body image. How can you reclaim happiness and joy this holiday season and still practice intuitive eating? By setting a couple of boundaries (or more). It's okay to decline traditional holiday gatherings if trigger anxiety and stress. Find joy in making new traditions - maybe with different friends or family members.  It's also okay to search for holiday happiness and joy even in challenging, unhappy circumstances.  Let's dig into the definition of happiness and joy more deeply.  According to my guest on this week's episode of the Savor Food and Body Podcast, happiness is a binary construct. You're either happy or you're not. Joy, on the other hand, is an embodied experience. It's a physical sensation you feel in your body. In our conversation about happiness and joy you'll hear: Dr. Sethi describes the difference between Joy and happiness, and how she's experienced both in her life.Why the wellness world’s definition of resilience isn't helpful in times of stress and what you can do instead.Why finding joy is critical for marginalized communities as a path tohealing from oppression.How does healing trauma and finding joy affect your genes and heal your ancestral body story?Dr. Sethi leaves you with a few tools described in her book that you can use to activate your vagus nerve of the nervous system and help cultivate Joy.
