yes, as a future dietitian... this is so important to me

In this world of “instragram/tumblr famous” so-called fitness people being such a thing, and “buy a meal plan from me!!” being the underscore of almost everything they post, I think it’s important to remember the difference between a nutritionist and a registered dietician. 

RDs have to at least have a BS in Nutrition/Dietetics and complete a year long internship AND take a standardized exam. A nutritionist is a non-accredited title that may apply to somebody who has done a short course in nutrition or who has given themselves this title.

“Some states may require nutritionists to obtain an occupational license from a Board of Nutrition, while other states allow individuals to practice as nutritionists without any previous education, training, or work experience.”

This is not to say that all nutritionists don’t know what they are talking about!!! Some are knowledgeable and wonderful. But there are SO MANY that don’t really know what they’re doing. Anyone can call themselves a nutritionist, as it’s a self-proclaimed title! So be wary. Some fit looking IG chick can have “nutritionist” in her bio, but that legitimately means nothing.

How to Stop Beating Yourself Up

1. Try to understand where it came from. Why do you demand so much of yourself? Do you have tendencies towards perfection or self-hatred? If so, where do these come from?

2. Practice self-compassion. Everyone deserves to be loved and understood, to be allowed to make mistakes, and to take the time to grow. Give that to yourself. Don’t attack and hurt yourself.

3. Deliberately focus on positive self-talk. Being negative, impatient, critical and overbearing becomes so automatic that we don’t realize it’s a habit. So, interrupt that habit and be kind and positive.

4. Decide not to compare yourself to others. We tend to judge ourselves by the people who excel, or have an easier life, or who face few obstacles. It’s not a level playing field so don’t compare yourself. Remember you ARE changing, and you have a lot to give.

5. Make a note of compliments and nice things people say – then pull it out and read it when you start to feel you’ve failed. Remind yourself that others see your value and worth … And others see the good in you, and want you to succeed.

Natural Amazonite and Rudraksha Mala for Stress Relief, Courage and Emotional Balance / 108 Beads

AMAZONITE - the energy of this gemstone is as powerful as the river for which it is named, and as bold as the legendary women warriors with whom it is connected, yet it tempers aggression, tames the irrational, and stills the disquiet. It provides harmony and balance. It is sometimes called the Stone of Courage, it promotes self-discovery, discovering one’s own truths and integrity. It provides the freedom to express one’s thoughts and feelings, and to set strong and clear boundaries, both internally as self-discipline, and externally on what one is willing to experience or in defining personal space.

Signs of being an empath:

•People tell you that they feel better after talking to you about their physical and/or emotional pains, but you tend to feel worse after such conversations.

•You’ve experienced having aches and pains, or intense emotions out of nowhere, only to find out later that someone you love is going through exactly that.

•When you’re in a room with many people, your emotions and/or the physical sensations in your body often change extemely from one moment to the next. You’re worried that you may be crazy somehow. Yet, when you’re by yourself, things tend to calm down.

•You have trouble concentrating when other people are around, but you’re able to concentrate just fine when you’re by yourself.

•Some people get extremely uncomfortable around you, because they feel that you see right through them. You might have noticed that people avoid you when they want to hide what they are going through somehow.

•You know a lot about other people, without knowing how. You used to think that everyone knew this much about everyone, but are coming to the realization that this is -strangely- not the case.

•You feel extremely responsible for the well-being of the people around you. People have told you to let go, or not take things so seriously, but you just can’t.

•When you’re around certain people, you suddenly find yourself feeling, thinking and/or acting out of character. Without those people there, you revert back to your usual self. Depending on how you feel influenced, this can either be interesting and liberating, or a little scary and worrisome.

•You have trouble knowing what you want and need. To figure that out, you usually need to be by yourself for a stretch of time, and even then it may be much easier to voice what others want from you, than to say what you want for yourself.

•You struggle with setting boundaries because the disappointment, anger and grief (and other emotions) of other people impacts you deeply. It seems that, no matter what you do, it’s always lose-lose for you. Either you stand up for yourself, and get overwhelmed by the negative reactions of others, or you do what they want and don’t feel good about yourself.

•Your body often feels icky, murky, dark and unpleasant, even if you have no medical condition to attribute those feelings to. For that reason, you like to do things which take your attention away from being physically aware of how your body feels.

•You notice that you’re more directly impacted by other people’s energy when looking someone directly in the eye, being in close proximity to someone or having a strong personal bond with someone (that can influence you over long distances).

•People tend to tell you things that “they’ve never told anyone before” even if they hardly know you.

•Crowds tend to be overwhelming and draining for you, unless they’re an exceptionally feel-good bunch.

13 Things Highly Intuitive People Don’t Do

You’ve met them. You know, the people who seem to know what’s going to happen before it does, predict your impending breakup or simply seem to read your mind. Before screaming ‘burn the witch!’ it’s important to know that these people aren’t so different from you, they’re probably just more intuitive. Those who are both cursed and blessed by being highly intuitive, they simply go about their lives in a different way. Let’s take a look at some of the things that these people don’t do.

1. They Don’t Ignore Their Inner Voice

Highly intuitive people know that their inner voice is something worth listening to. Sometimes basing decisions purely off logic and reason isn’t the best choice. I realise that to some this will sound crazy, but to those who consider themselves intuitive, they will understand that sometimes the best decision for ourselves are one that comes from that little inner voice, as opposed to the external information that the world provides us with.

2. They Don’t Let the Modern World Stop Them From Taking Time For Solitude

Between increasingly longer work days and technology keeping us constantly connected to one another, it can be difficult to take time for ourselves. In fact, some of us get so addicted to constant contact that taking time for solitude can be near impossible. Intuitive people know that it’s important to get off the grid every once and while, even if it’s just for an hour. They understand that people need time to decompress and get some much need stress relief. Yoga, meditation and Tai Chi are great ways to incorporate this essential ‘you time’ into your busy schedule.

3. They Don’t Stifle Their Own Creativity

It can be easy to ignore or push down your creativity in order to be more practical. Quite frankly, pursuing creative interests and fields can be scary, and they’re certainly the roads less travelled. However, intuitive people know that if they have that creative calling it’s important to let it flourish. Ignoring this urge can lead to a lifetime of unhappiness and feeling unfulfilled.

4. They Don’t Ignore Personal Observations

Part of being intuitive is simply being good at observing the world around you and then interpreting that information to find more subtle meanings. Intuitive people realise that being observant is imperative in order to find truth in people and the world in general. A small look or shift in body language, or a seemingly throw away comment, can be more important than what you may think.

5. They Don’t Ignore the Importance of Connecting With People On a Deep Level

Highly intuitive people love with every fiber of their being. Whether you’re a friend, a family member or a lover, they realise how important it is to connect on a deep level. After all, this is the only way to truly know someone. Both a positive and a negative of these connections is that they can also feel the pain of those they’re close to. Not literally of course, but they care deeply when someone is hurting emotionally. If an intuitive person ever says “I know how you feel”, they probably truly do.

6. They Don’t Ignore Their Dreams

Highly intuitive people know that truth can be found not only in the physical world, but also in their own dreams. They’re aware that their brains use their sleeping state in order to work out problems and present solutions and pathways for the dreamer. Those who are the most aware of this generally become quite good at interpreting their own dreams and acting accordingly.

7. They Don’t Hold Onto Negative Emotions

People who are intuitive tend to be highly connected to their own emotions. It’s for that reason that they may find it hard to let go of negative emotions. However, they recognise the necessity of it in order to to keep emotionally and spiritually sane, as well as connect positively with others.

8. They Don’t Forget to be Mindful

Intuitive people tend to be incredibly mindful of those around them, as well as their environment. This is somewhat different to being observant because it taps into the feelings they get from what’s happening around them. This can be as simply as discerning how someone feels about them, to gauging whether they are in a potentially dangerous situation, despite appearances.

9. They Generally Don’t Rush Their Decisions

Intuitive people who are acutely aware of the way they make choices may take longer to eventually come to a decision. This is because they tend to have more information and feelings to consider.

10. They Don’t Take Wrong Decisions Lightly

Highly intuitive people can get incredibly upset if they end up making a bad decision or choice. This makes sense considering that they tend to be equipped with more personal tools to avoid poor decisions and mistakes. However, nobody is infallible and it also makes them all the more careful when it comes to the important choices.

11. They Don’t Mind Crying

Intuitive people tend to be in touch with their emotions, and thus don’t see any harm in a good cry. They realise that sometimes people need a physical release in order to achieve an emotional one.

12. They Don’t Ignore the Needs of Their Body

Highly intuitive people tend to be in tune with their bodies more and are aware if something is wrong. It’s for this reason that many will turn to spiritual exercises because these pursuits teach them how to be even more sensitive to their body’s needs.

13. They’re Not Afraid to be Spiritual

Highly intuitive people tend to be quite spiritual, but this doesn’t necessarily mean that they’re religious. They tend to be spiritual in terms of their relationship with themselves, those around them and the world.

I GOT A JOB!!

Not my first job ever BUT my first real job, for what I studied 4 1/2 long years for!! I will be working as a Diet Technician at a rehabilitation center (for surgeries, stroke recovery, ect) under a Registered Dietitian. I am so incredibly excited for this job to start. I still need to get fingerprinted and do all of that, but I am so thankful for this opportunity. This past year has been rough. Insanely rough. I graduated college, went through a break up, was very sick and needed gall bladder surgery, and fell into a deep depression that sent me to a mental health hospital. These aren't exactly every 22 year old’s plans for post-undergrad life... Certainly not when I had planned to go on a trip to Peru with my school to get experience in clinical dietetics. I was in the mental health hospital for one week and was able to find incredible people to helpmeet there. I learned how to cope with my anxiety and depression and finally got my medications figured out. I am happy, back to being engaged and excited about the daily activities... most of all, I am able to get out of bed in the morning and WANT to continue with my day instead of being afraid to leave my room. I managed to get my trip to Peru settled and had the learning experience of my life. I learned how far I had come was directly because I chose to seek help, get out of the hole I was in. And now, I can continue to gain work experience in the Dietetics field with this new job. Never in a million years would I have thought, in  February, that I would be in the place I am in today. I did not have a smooth journey to this point. Job hunting was hard. I spent months and months applying jobs I didnt even want just because I needed money and still, nothing. One day, I applied to the job I just got the official offer to, and received an interview. I have not been so happy in a very, very long time. I finally felt confident, I now have something to be responsible for. Something to begin my career and allow me to start my own life outside of college and my parents’ house. 

SO, about the job. I will be working under an RD, to ensure 110 patients are getting the proper nutrition care that they need. I will be posting more about the job and what i have to do on a day-to-day basis, as well as posting my study tactics for the DTR exam, which I will be taking soon.

A little different of a movement for your shoulders. Always begin with a compound lift like military press but this time I’m going a bit lighter and behind he neck to target the rear delts since anterior are used mainly on all other pushing exercises. And no need to go deep behind the neck, a 90 degree angle at the elbow is just fine. . . . #npc #physique #bikini #bodybuilding #fitness #fitfam #fitspo #fistpiration #igers #igdaily #workout #christianguzman #stevecook #sadikhadzovic #icoach #hitmeup #60dayprogram
