HA recovery is hard... you wouldn't be here if it was easy!

This resource is designed to help you to find your your why, map out your strategy to help you to remain committed to the process and pre-plan solutions to problems that may arise so that you can continue on your journey confidently

START CHAININGĀ Letter of Promise: to MyselfĀ
Confidence builds from the commitments we make to ourselves. When you break the trust with yourself because you keep avoiding the things you say you will do, this feeds the belief that you can't do it, and that becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy! So let's challenge that by making some promises to yourself that you'll keep to build momentum for your recovery
GET WRITINGĀ PLAN B PLAYBOOK
Use this workbook to reflect on the "slips" that you've had and a space to reflect on why they happened and how you can handle future challenges. Remember, there is no such thing as a failure and beating yourself up about these things means we're not learning from them. Think of it as "data collection" and opportunities to make changes
TIME TO REFLECTNOVEMBER CHALLENGE:Ā BACK TO BASICS
Recovery can be overwhelming, and we've covered a lot of different topics within the HA hub over recent weeks. TheĀ focus this month is to strip things back and make sure we're nailing the basics, all whilst reconnecting with your body to support your forever recovery.
You can use this tool to reconnect with your bodyās signals, build awareness, and identify where you might still need to give yourself permission to eat more freely and consistently.
This workbook is divided into two parts:
- Part 1: A reflection guide to explore your current eating patterns, mindset, and connection to hunger and fullness
- Part 2: A practical 7-Day Food Tracker Challenge to help you bring awareness to how youāre eating by noticing patterns in your meals, snacks, timing, energy, and mood
