Human beings are hard-wired to seek deep, unconditional love and connection with another that spans the test of time. So how do you go about meeting this person? What if you're stuck in a pattern of dating (or marrying!) the wrong person? OR what if you want to up level the relationship you're in?

Join Anniston and Rudi as their individual journeys of how they came together and what they've done to continue to deepen their connection and partnership.

In this episode you'll learn the difference between soul mates and spiritual partnerships, the common mistakes people make when trying to 'find' that special someone as well as how you can consciously attract someone who is aligned with you on all levels - mind, body and spirit.

In this enlightening episode of the InPowered Life podcast, meet guest Gina Worful, a registered dietitian and the founder of the Mastering Mindfulness Institute. Gina shares her transformative journey from conventional dietetics to a mindfulness-based approach to health and nutrition. She delves into why traditional dieting methods often fail and how understanding the deeper drivers of our behaviors can lead to sustainable changes. This conversation uncovers the science behind food cravings, the role of the nervous system, and practical tools for listeners to start reclaiming their health.
Key Takeaways:

Conventional Dieting Often Misses the Root Cause: Traditional diet plans focusing solely on willpower and restriction often fail because they don't address the underlying reasons for eating behaviors. Sustainable change comes from understanding the deeper drivers behind our habits.

Mindfulness Over Willpower: Gina emphasizes the importance of mindfulness—bringing focused attention to our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors around food. By moving toward our discomfort with curiosity rather than avoiding it, we can uncover what truly drives our eating patterns.

The Science of Food Cravings: Stress and a dysregulated nervous system can lead to impulsive eating and cravings, particularly for quick energy sources like carbohydrates. When stressed, the body shifts into a survival mode, overriding rational decisions about food.

The Power of the Three Rs:

• Reconnect: Pause and bring awareness to your body when a craving hits.
• Reset: Move away from the immediate environment to break the autopilot behavior.
• Reflect: Afterward, consider what the craving or behavior was trying to tell you, whether you gave in to it or not.Awareness is the First Step: Shifting from judgment to curiosity about your eating habits is key. Instead of criticizing yourself for craving or indulging in certain foods, use these moments to learn more about your body’s needs and emotional triggers.

Regulating the Nervous System: The more regulated your nervous system is, the easier it becomes to make healthy food choices. Techniques like mindful breathing can help calm the nervous system and reduce the urge to eat impulsively.

Listening to Your Body: By tuning into how different foods make you feel, you can start to naturally gravitate toward choices that support your well-being. This approach helps you move away from rigid dieting and develop a more intuitive relationship with food.

Focus on Real, Whole Foods: Aim to eat closer to nature by incorporating more whole foods into your diet. A simple strategy is to include a variety of colorful vegetables, ensuring you receive a range of nutrients.

Change is a Gradual Journey: Sustainable change takes time and involves self-compassion and practice. Gina highlights that while noticeable shifts can happen in the first few months, true harmony with your body and food typically takes around a year of consistent practice and self-awareness.

Self-Compassion is Key: Reducing self-judgment and adopting a compassionate approach towards your eating behaviors can significantly impact your journey to better health. The goal is to make peace with food and your body, not to achieve perfection.

Quotes:

• "It's not just about knowledge. There's a depth underneath that we can't really see." - Gina Worful
• "Most people know the basics of healthy eating. What's missing is understanding what truly drives our behaviors." - Gina Worful
• "The more you restrict, the more you rebound back for safety." - Gina Worful
• "You can't force people to follow a program. But when you bring awareness and curiosity to their experience, they naturally start to change." - Gina Worful
