I'm gonna be vulnerable for a second.

Welcome to the final episode of February! This month, we set a goal to build a journaling habit that fosters a better relationship with ourselves. If you're new to the podcast, start at the first February episode to catch up on setting this goal with Amy.

In this episode:

• It's a solo episode! Amy gets personal about her progress with this month’s journaling goal with reflections on what worked and what didn’t
• A deep dive into a challenging moment in her recovery
• Final journaling prompts to support you in tough moments
• A sneak peek at next month’s goal

Use these prompts whenever you need to challenge the eating disorder voice:

1. What am I feeling right now, and where do I feel it in my body?
   (Describe your emotions and any physical sensations. Acknowledge them without judgment.)
2. What triggered these thoughts or urges?
   (Was it something I saw, heard, or thought? How can I respond to this trigger with self-compassion?)
3. What do I need in this moment to take care of myself?
   (List three things that could comfort or ground you, like talking to a friend, deep breathing, or eating a nourishing meal.)
4. If my best friend were feeling this way, what would I say to them?
   (Write a letter to yourself as if you were supporting a loved one.)
5. What is one thing my body does for me that I am grateful for today?
   (Shift your focus to appreciation—maybe your body carried you through a hard day, let you laugh, or gave you energy to do something you love.)
