E.11 Intuitive Eating Series Continued: Creating Joyful Movement

The Intuitive Diabetic Podcast: Intuitive Eating, Diabetes, Non Diet, HAES

Whose ready to establish a more joyful relationship with movement? Welcome to principle #9 of intuitive eating, movement - feel the difference.
When living with diabetes the pressures to exercise can feel even greater, especially if you are feeling added pressures to watch your weight or increase insulin sensitivity. Such pressures do little to encourage a more joyous relationship with movement, or help us in finding forms of exercise that we genuinely enjoy.
If you're wanting to learn how to embrace this idea of joyful movement, and are hoping to free yourself of the 'no pain no gain' mentality of exercise past, get ready to embrace this refreshing take on movement.
On this episode you'll learn:

• the difference between the terms movement and exercise
• the benefit of decoupling movement from needing to change our body, and/or needing it to increase our insulin sensitivity
• my struggles with exercise over the years
• the importance of understanding our relationship to exercise as we work towards pursuing joyful movement
• questions to ask yourself when looking to create joyful movement
• how joyful movement can beneficial in supporting other principles of intuitive eating, like hunger and fullness.
