You've Got Kayl

    Hope you are having a fabulous weekend friends. I apologize for another long must-reads post; I accumulate waaaay too many good ones, let them pile up before sharing 'em on here. I'm bound to learn my lesson eventually.

    On Body Image & Exercise:

    How to accept your changing body

    Getting back into exercising (beyond yoga) has been a goal of mine and my dietician's for my last semester. With under a month left now, I'm not sure how attainable that is so Kylie's thoughts on what she learned from a break from exercise came at the right time.

    Absolutely loved Roxane Gay's book, Hunger, and was excited to hear about the Unruly Bodies series on Medium this month. Here's my favorite one that I've come across so far: The Body on the Other Side of Self-Hatred
    "My body is mine, and because I am important to myself now, so is my body in its every scar, bump, fat roll, and bruise."

    Why Guilt-Free Foods are a Lie
    "Eating is pleasure and is part of everyday life. And if you forget that, repeat these words: “I don’t have to feel guilty, because I haven’t done anything wrong.”
    Not your typical definitions of a healthy diet

    To Think About:

    The trick to small talk? Asking number-related questions

    Even as I'm still in it, I know deep down that college was not as amazing as many make it out to be. With graduation looming, however, part of me has been worried that I hit my peak. So I was reassured by Davida's post on her college experience and how they weren't the best years of her life either. On a slightly related note, if you are struggling, please talk to someone; seriously, it was one of the best decisions in college and life to go see a therapist.

    "When we view the world through the lens of scarcity, the way we see the world becomes incredibly limited."

    This hilarious list of 100+ potential Wi-Fi Names. Some of my favorites: Tell my Wifi Love Her, Drop It Like It's Hotspot, and Everyday I'm Buffering.

    Questions:
    What are your grocery shopping staples? 
    What is or was your college experience like?
    If you consider yourself a minimalist (or minimalist wannabe like me), which type are you?

    "Abundance comes in all shapes and sizes" 
    Hope your weekend is going swell. Whatever you may be feeling right now, here are some of the best things I've seen across the web in the past few weeks. 

    On Food and Exercise: 

    From Rachel Hartley: Rediscovering the Joy in Movement. Movement is more than your exercise regimen. It is in the pleasure of walking around a park, of dancing in your room, of taking a dip in the pool. 

    Any food guidelines--even meal plans--can be too structured. Thanks for reminding us, Joyce, that eating intuitively is fluid.

    This Grub Street Diet article from Mark Bittman and David Katz has been buzzing around the web lately. Even though I definitely don't agree with all the points made, there are some (eg carbs aren't evil, there isn't one end all be all diet, and juice cleanses aren't as amazing as they claim to be) that I'm really grateful they pointed out. PS the TLDR version if you don't have time to read the entire thing. 

    Don't hate the dieter; hate the diet culture. 

    On Mental Health:

    50 more reminders for when you're feeling blah


    Love Megan's analogy comparing life to bread. Don't rush the process.

    Journaling for abundance--Thought-provoking journalling practice where you list ways your life is in abundance and how you're filling others' lives 

    One of the best decisions I've made was to start going to see a therapist. Highly recommend for anyone quite honestly. Also vouch for these practical lessons one guy learned throughout his time in therapy. 

    Some fun things and random stuff to ponder: 

    I have turned to Unreal to satisfy my Bachelor obsession now that the season has ended. If you're in the same boat, fun, slightly disturbing facts from behind the scenes.

    What's the most important factor in a relationship? Emotional stability and self-sufficiency.

    "Contrary to popular cliches, they are not about finding our “other half,” or someone to “complete” us. Healthy relationships are built only with people who are already complete going in. "

    Tips on going waste free 

    If you're like me and are thinking of cutting back on your social media usage, what teenagers who have quit social media have to say.

    Questions:
    Have you heard of or watched the show Unreal? 
    Any other suggestions on how to go zero waste? 
    What has made your life abundant as of late?
