Instead of berating yourself, figure out the funny. Find the humor. Not because it is funny, it’s likely not. But because it will give your brain something else to do other than berate yourself. If you struggle with negative self talk, like all habits, this one is hard to break. With habit change one is … Continue reading Figure Out the Funny

25th Anniversary of…
My bat mitzvah! My entrance into womanhood. I was searching for the words to capture how I so deeply connect with my inner 12-year-old self—that pure, innocent girl who had not yet explored the sexual sphere, which would end up wreaking havoc on her emotional life. How to say that? How to capture it? Am … Continue reading 25th Anniversary of…

That Pure, Simple Moment
One of the last memories I have of my father is him going down to the basement to photocopy my hot-off-the-presses Beginners Mat Pilates Certificate. As he opened the door to the basement, he looked back at me and said, "This is the first of many certifications you will receive." He was glowing with pride. … Continue reading That Pure, Simple Moment

When Things Don’t Seem Right, Keep Going
It’s so hard to keep going when things feel awry. Much easier in the moment to curl up into a ball and hide. But the truth is, much like my 4 yo daughter’s experience with completing her puzzle this morning, sometimes the only way out of the confusion is to keep going. To try things … Continue reading When Things Don’t Seem Right, Keep Going
Satiety—of an Intellectual Sort
In Grace after Meals in Judaism, a Biblical verse is quoted in the third paragraph, “and you will eat, and you will be satisfied, and you will bless.” I’m no stranger to the hunger-fullness scale, I use it both personally and professionally—I am a dietitian after all! But is satiety only about physical fullness from … Continue reading Satiety—of an Intellectual Sort
