Practicing Intuitive Eating Abigail Bassett
As we move into 2021, we have the opportunity to completely reset. We can pursue wellness with fresh optimism and positivity. We know the world is slowly getting back on its feet, and that it s always possible to get back up ourselves. We can do little things each day to build ourselves up, mentally and physically, to ensure we continue to thrive. We’re bringing you tips, trends, and stories that will help you place wellness front and center as you kick off the new year.
Intuitive eating isn t really a new concept, but it s become more mainstream over the last few years as a backlash against the pervasive diet culture shown on social media and elsewhere. We started covering the trend last year as we all sheltered at home, and stress-ate our way through the pandemic, and the practice continues to make waves.
For many authors, releasing their first book in the middle of a pandemic and nationwide lockdown would be seen as far from ideal. After all, our present situation dictates that you can’t have launches, signings or book festivals. But for Sarah Crosby, releasing her first book, Five Minute Therapy, without all the customary hoopla has proven to be something of a blessing in disguise.
“I really don’t know any different and I think part of me is almost glad it is this peeled-back version of a launch or a publication, particularly for the first one, because I tend to shy away from putting my face out there too much,” says Crosby. “This definitely suits my more introverted ways rather than doing the signings and stuff.”
