It is common for people in recovery to feel stuck every now and then and believe that it will never get better.
But the reality is that there are ways for you to get into action about the very thing you feel the most stuck about.
Today, I'm sharing one of my favorite practices to help you feel less stuck in your recovery process.
Step out of whatever the current struggle is and imagine your life... fully recovered.
How would your life look like?
Start with the journal prompt, 'Now that I'm recovered...' and write about whatever comes up in your mind.
It's almost National Eating Disorders Awareness (#NEDAwareness) Week and this year’s theme is It’s Time to Talk About It.
Talking about the eating disorder that you're struggling with is an important first step on your healing journey.
In this week's Recovery Tip, I'm talking about the importance of opening up and letting someone in.
If you’re struggling with an eating disorder, call the National Eating Disorder Association hotline at 1-800-931-2237.

One of the ways to get stuck in your recovery process is that there is this tendency to believe that you're going to recover perfectly.
However, perfect recovery doesn't exist.
I encourage you to set the intention to let go of the eating disorder behaviors but to give yourself some space and grace to have that not be perfect.

Most of you already know my weekly Recovery Tip video series but I wanted to tell a little more about why I'm creating them.
Watch the video to find out.
You are so much more than your eating disorder, the perfect student, an athlete or anything else you're really good at.
Grab a pen and sheet of paper and get ready for this week's recovery tip.
The first step in truly working on your recovery is ditching your scale.
Watch this week's video to find out why.
Recovery is not about waiting until you're ready or wanting to do it perfectly and all at once.
Recovery is about starting small and taking tiny little steps forward on your path to recovered...
...before you're ready!
Imagine a small way that you can get into action now!
