1. I was on the Body Love Project podcast.
2. New seminar next week
For all RDs, RD2bs & other health professionals working with clients…
Next Thursday (July 27th), I’ll be partnering again with inspirdtoseek Mentor Series to host a seminar on how to empower your clients with a better outlook on their body image. A seminar, workbook and 2 CPEs are all included. I’ve done 2 previous Intuitive Eating seminars with them and you can now get access to the Seminar Replays + 1 CPE here. The seminar replays will only be available for a limited time.
3. Pom poms
That pom pom maternity dress I love is back in stock. FINALLY. I ordered it last night and am going to wear it at least weekly.
4. Favorite thing I heard this week…
A reminder for slowing down and not being so go go go.
5. I’m just curious…
In high school and college I always termed myself a morning person. Mainly because I think I viewed it “better” or “more productive” to be a morning person. But I’ve realized I work the best late at night and who cares about trying to be a morning person. Me trying to get computer work done in the morning is pointless…it never works. I’d say my most productive hours (when i feel my most creative) are from 9pm to 11pm…this is why a 9 to 5 style job would be really difficult for me. Are you a morning person or night person…or both?
I hope everyone has a fabulous weekend! We have a lot of time with family planned for our weekend :)
I’m definitely a morning person – I get all my best writing done, and have my best yoga practices early in the morning before I’m up and around other people.
And I love that “learn to rest while awake” quote! So clever, and such good advice.
I love the Pom Pom Dress! Am looking forward to seeing you wear it! The thought about “resting while awake” is wonderful. My family is a bit more to the tune “you can rest when you are dead” and only now (in my mid 30s) intuitive eating is slowly followed by intuitive living. I love your self care posts because that is a area I really struggle with!
I am a morning person and that was such a bad thing when growing up. I get so tired around 9ish and never had any fun going to bars, clubs or any other activities. Now I am a mom and the mornings are my most cherished time of the day!
I’m a big time morning person, but I definitely don’t think it’s “better”. I think it’s just important to know when you work the best. I always plan to get things done at night after our little guy goes to bed and it never, never happens. I should know better by now! Also, I’m in love with that pom pom dress and would definitely buy it if I were pregnant!
Definitely a morning person! I dread when my husband informs me he’s made us evening plans with friends. I fizzle at 8pm!
Hahaha I so relate to this, Gaby. My husband snagged his office’s tix to a baseball game tonight and I’m like, how am I going to make it to 11???
I was a total night owl until I had my daughter. Now, she doesn’t go to bed until 9 PM at least, so I am definitely a morning person if I want to get any self-care time in the day!
Love that pom pom dress!
I am a morning person for sure–I can get more done between 8 a.m. and noon than I could get done if I worked from noon to 8 p.m., and forget working in the evening–I am basically useless by 9 p.m.
I say I’m a morning person (that’s when I’k most motivated to get up and do things), but like….after 7:30am morning person. It’d be great to get up at 6 (or earlier like some people do!) and be super productive, but I need a lot of sleep and it just doesn’t happen hehe.
I feel like a teenager typing this (I’m a grad student!), but I really feel like I’m neither a morning nor a night person! I function from 10 am-3 pm or so and then I can focus on tasks like working out or cooking, but getting more work done is always so hard. I too always thought I was a morning person but I think that was more my teacher life/schedule demanding it. (And in comparison to teenagers, of course I was more awake hahaha)
OMG. I have listened to all of the podcasts you’ve been featured on so far, and I have loved each one. You’re perspective has gotten me through a significantly tough year and you are a breath of fresh air.
I agree with a few readers above, I lean towards being a morning person but that means being productive after 8 am, not getting up before it’s light out! I guess I’m made for the 9-5 life. Weirdly enough, I love jet lag when it wakes me up super early in the morning because then I get to experience the calm that comes with being awake when not many others are… but I don’t need that in my day-to-day life! haha.
I am SO a night person. I also didn’t pretty well between 10 am – 2 pm, but I can’t get anything done in the mornings and those hours after 2 pm are brutal! I love the twilight hours and can easily feel functional until 1 am.
I don’t live rushed, get up and go mornings (slow coffee, pancakes, reading…before anything abrupt) but my most productive and creative writing hours are between 8-11am. I WISH they were evening because I have more time then…girl, I’m working a 9-5 for the first time in my life and I will be going back to the non traditional work schedule ASAP!
i have always been a morning person..i dont know about the productivity aspect but i love the quietness in the morning…and literally cant stay past 10-11 pm.
that pom pom dress is too adorable.
I was definitely a night person in high school/college, staying up late to study. Now that I’ve been 8-5 for several years my body is getting more used to waking up early and getting work done, and I definitely concentrate better at the beginning of the day vs the end of the day.
Oh thank you so much! Finally another night owl out there in the blog world! I felt very alone ;) with pretty much every other blogger being aa morning person and early riser. Honestly, I occasionally joke that I’m only half-awake until 8 or 9 PM.
That maternity dress is beautiful. I’m sure it’s going to look awesome on you.
Regarding that quote: I think we’re a little better at that here in Europe. Not that I didn’t still know a few people who could use some slowing down but overall, people aren’t quite as go-go-go.
Both! I get most done from 5 Am till 8 AM. And then I’m useless until maybe 9 PM, then I get a second wave of energy and can work with great focus for several hours. I suffer from insomnia, and this is the only great thing about it :(
That dress is beautiful! Have a great weekend!
I am for sure a morning person, whether it be working, movement, or writing. I also just feel so peaceful in the mornings, like there is so much opportunity in the day ahead. There is such beauty in each new day! Have a great weekend!
