sometimes trusting yourself feels impossible, especially if you’ve doubted your choices before. but girl, confidence isn’t magic !! it’s built slowly, one decision at a time!!

try these mindset shifts to strengthen your self-trust:

your instincts matter → before asking everyone’s opinion, pause and check in with what you feel. even small choices count

failure is info, not proof → every mistake teaches you something about what works and what doesn’t. treat it like a clue, not a judgement!!

start with tiny decisions → pick a playlist, a snack, or what to wear without overthinking. the more you practice, the easier bigger decisions become

notice patterns → track moments when you followed your gut and it worked. seeing these wins builds trust in yourself!!

self-talk matters → replace “i’ll probably mess up” with “i can handle this.” words shape your confidence

Because you get the most nutrients from the foods you'll actually eat.

So add cheese, oil, spices, vinegar, sauces, etc. Try them roasted or sauteed or pureed, etc.

The actual secret to eating lots of fruits and veggies and other nutrient dense foods is:

It literally has to taste good or I will mush it around with my fork and reject it. So I add cheese and roasted nuts and balsamic glaze and oil (and spices of course, but those are insufficient by themselves) to my veggies almost every time. It's the only way I'll actually eat them.

Prioritize taste. Nutrients are so important, but force feeding yourself gruel is miserable and not a long term solution. Make the nutrients Tasty.
