Hello, dear friends. Welcome back to another episode of Tina's Arena. Today, we're diving deep into how small, consistent actions can lead to profound changes in our identity. Over the past six months, my journey to make the gym a non-negotiable part of my daily routine has taught me a lot about myself. It has become more than just a place to exercise; it's where I reinforce my commitment to health, proving to myself that I am someone who cares deeply about my well-being. This transformation wasn't about dramatic changes but about the quiet persistence of showing up for myself, every day, making what once felt like a chore now a cherished part of my mornings.Keywords: daily routine, gym habit, mental transformation, identity change, health and fitness, personal growth, consistency in fitnessHashtags: #DailyRoutine #GymLife #HealthTransformation #IdentityChange #ConsistencyIsKey #FitnessJourney #PersonalGrowth #TinasArena

We'll explore the importance of balanced meals, the power of consistency, and how to wisely choose what we consume.

I delve into my personal journey with intuitive eating, a path I embraced after recovering from an eating disorder. I share the challenges and insights gained over the years, including the slow and sometimes tedious process of learning to eat intuitively. The discussion covers the importance of taking baby steps, dealing with setbacks, and the realization that recovery is not a straight path but a series of learning moments. By revisiting triggering foods and situations, I learned to understand and modify my responses, moving away from shame and towards healing. This episode emphasizes that healing is not about speed but about consistency and the intent to get better, no matter how gradual the progress.Keywords: intuitive eating, eating disorder recovery, healing journey, health podcast, overcoming setbacks, nutrition, body positivity, mental health, wellness journeyHashtags: #IntuitiveEating #EatingDisorderRecovery #HealingJourney #WellnessPodcast #NutritionTips #MentalHealthAwareness #BodyPositivity #SelfCare #HealthAndWellness

In this episode of Tina’s Arena, Diane Sorensen, a former client and herself a transformational coach, shares her journey of overcoming unhealthy relationships with food and exercise. Initially, Diane experienced extreme cycles of restriction and overindulgence, using these behaviours as a form of self-punishment. With Tina’s help, Diane explored the underlying emotional issues driving her behaviour, leading to a pivotal shift towards treating herself with love and compassion. Through small, consistent changes, Diane redefined her approach to wellness, focusing on self-love rather than external validation, which has allowed her to feel genuinely comfortable and satisfied in her body.You can find Diane at:https://www.dianesorensen.net/https://www.instagram.com/dianesorensen.bb/If you would like to start working together to get results like Diane, my website is www.tinasarena.com, send me a message!Diane Sorensen, transformational journey, self-love, emotional eating, exercise habits, wellness coaching, body positivity, overcoming punishment, healthy habits, self-compassion #TransformationJourney #SelfLove #EmotionalEating #HealthyHabits #BodyPositivity #WellnessCoaching #OvercomingChallenges #SelfCompassion #TinasArenaPodcastTIMESTAMPS00:00:00 - Introduction to Diane Sorensen00:01:40 - The Cycle of Punishment00:06:22 - Discovering Love as the Opposite of Punishment00:07:21 - Implementing Small Habits with a Mindset of Love00:09:17 - Adjusting Exercise Habits: From Overdoing to Moderation00:16:09 - Diane's Work as a Transformational Coach00:20:22 - Final Thoughts and Where to Find Diane
