Why You Need to eat Lunch Everyday
Just because skipping lunch is normalized doesn’t mean it’s healthy or good for you mentally. Yeah a lot of people do it, but that doesn’t mean it’s the right choice for you.
Hustle culture is real and toxic. Did you know that nourishing yourself actually allows you to be more productive? If you are hungry, you are actually less efficient with your time. Brain fog and/or trouble concentrating is a sign of hunger.
Tips for setting aside time for lunch…
Block your calendar everyday for lunch
Schedule lunch into your day
Set an alarm on your phone
Make a plan/know what you are doing for lunch ahead of time
Make plans with a friend or coworker
Busy schedules definitely make it more challenging to feed ourselves, but being busy is not an excuse to skip out on taking care of yourself. Make time for yourself during your day.

Before using fitness devices and apps, ask yourself whether your motive is related to body dissatisfaction or health. Being self-aware of your feelings can help you recognize if using a health tracker is impacting you in a positive or negative way. If you notice that you are obsessed with tracking and it is interfering with your life, you may want to listen to your body instead. Your body has the ability to tell you what foods and movements feel right for you. When you implement mindful eating and movement, these parts of your life become much more flexible and enjoyable.
