STRENGTHEN YOUR RECOVERY MINDSET

Ā 

HA recovery is hard... you wouldn't be here if it was easy! And we know that motivation for recovery canĀ come in hard and then disappear when fear creeps in, so it's not something we can rely on all the time sadly, which is why cultivating a very strong sense of your why and determination for recovery is so important.

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

EXERCISE IN HA RECOVERY
FUELLING TIMELINE & IDEAS

APRIL CHALLENGE: BUILDING SNACKS FOR HA RECOVERYĀ 

While consuming enough calories overall is vital in getting your period back, the distribution of your energy intake and when you eat can actually play a significant role during recovery.

Regular snacking is so key to recovery, as it not only helps you reach your energy needs but it also supplies energy throughout the day, allowing your body to feel safer [key in getting it to restart that reproductive system!]

This resource provides you with the opportunity to see the downfalls in your energy distribution throughout the day and highlight what changes you need to make, and provides you with ideas of what adequate snacks look like

Ā 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 WRITING

Ā 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 REFLECT

NOVEMBER 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 body’s 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 you’re eating by noticing patterns in your meals, snacks, timing, energy, and mood

BODY CHECKINGĀ 

The aim of this exercise is to help you to get deeper and explore the internal feelings behind negative body image rather than accepting them at surface level.

Understanding why we feel a certain way can help us to address that pain point rather than trying to find a solution in changing our body. Your body isn’t the problem; it’s likely that there is a deeper emotion that we’re not addressing.

SUMMERĀ RECOVERY AUDIT

The aim of this exercise is to help you to gain clarity around any comparison and behaviours that might put a pause on your recovery journey throughout summer so that you can think about how you can keep moving forward
