Here is how a dietitian deals with stress
Healthy eating is hard. It’s so hard that even the most dedicated of us have moments when we feel like giving up and indulging in the foods that we’re trying to avoid.
Dietitians can feel this way too. The job of a dietitian is stressful. It requires us to be knowledgeable about the food we’re eating and the effects it has on our health. In addition to this, it requires us to have an understanding of what makes us human. It’s a job that has its fair share of challenges, but it’s also one that we enjoy.
As a dietitian, I’ve had to deal with stress in a number of ways. Here are a few of my favourite ways to deal with stress.
Write about it
Writing about our stress is one of the best ways to deal with it. By writing about it, we’re able to get it out of our heads and into a place where it can be dealt with. Writing about it can also help us to identify the cause of the stress.
If you’re having trouble writing about your stress, it can be useful to write down the things that make you stressed. This way, you can identify what’s causing the stress.
