Breaking Unhealthy Habits: Laura Lummer's Guide to a Healthier You
You know, I talk about being mindful, about eating mindfully, about using mindfulness exercises to practice, being in the present moment and this act of comparing yourself to what you used to be, especially when it comes to your overall health.
Ever felt overwhelmed by the sheer number of 'healthy habits' you're supposed to adopt? Laura Lummer, a two-time breast cancer survivor and certified wellness coach, gets it. In this episode of 'The Breast Cancer Recovery Coach', she tackles two sneaky habits that can derail your path to a healthier lifestyle. Spoiler: it's not just about what you eat or how much you exercise.
Laura dives into the deeper aspects of well-being, including how you think about yourself and your past choices. She opens up about the common pitfall of comparing yourself to your pre-cancer self, a trap many survivors fall into. Instead, she advocates for mindfulness and being present in the moment. The second habit she addresses is the harsh self-judgment we often impose for not always making the healthiest choices.
Laura reminds us that it's okay to have cheat days and that focusing on the majority of healthy decisions is what truly counts. Plus, she gives a nod to Beautycounter's natural skincare products, aligning with her philosophy of treating your body with kindness. This episode is a heartfelt guide for anyone looking to shed unhealthy habits and embrace a more balanced, forgiving approach to health.
