#220: Staying Active without Slipping Ba...

Mary Jelkovsky
About this episode

After burning out on exercise during my ED days, 7 years later, I’ve been able to find a much better balance with movement. So let’s talk about HOW I’ve been able to maintain this healthy relationship with exercise– what might help you, what might hurt you, and mindset shifts to make.

You will learn...

  • how to stay active in a way that’s sustainable, enjoyable, and free of toxic thoughts.
  • what toxic thoughts or behaviors around exercise can look like (and how to spot them in yourself)
  • the 3 phases of healing your relationship with movement
  • mindset shifts to make if you want to stay active without slipping back

Remember: Your mental well-being is as important as your physical, and if your priorities were convoluted for so long during those eating disorder days, it’ll take time to come back to a sense of balance. You have time. Take it.
