No one can do anything perfectly in life.

And I think maybe you're putting a lot of pressure on yourself to eat perfectly.

And Rhi and I have talked about this a lot, which is that between ourselves, which is that this is a really difficult tension, actually, where...

And we're here every week telling you, please eat those polyphenols, please eat that fiber.

We do need to eat less UPFs.

And the reality is, is all of that holds true.

And it's easier said than done.

And it doesn't have to be 100% of the time.

And so it's this really tricky thing of like, yes, we need to collectively overhaul our diets.

And yes, we need to shift to a more kind of natural home coach, plant rich, Mediterranean inspired type way of eating, but it doesn't have to be quote unquote perfect.

And it can involve, and as we said, I think having just sort of slightly easing that pressure to like,

do a good job, but doesn't need to be perfect.

I think that's really important.

And I do think, you know what, the other thing I'd say, and there's so many different ways to explore this and so many different people you can talk to, but

It's probably worth as well, just doing exercises and things to really support your self-esteem.

Like it's interesting on the weekend, I did this on Substack every Sunday night, we have this kind of meditation and breathwork group that I teach, which I love.

And we did this exercise on how we talk to ourselves.

And so kind of inspired by this love and kindness meditation, which is that kind of comes from it's two and a half thousand year old Buddhist tradition and interpretation of, but

you know, in it, you actually like really visualize yourself and you wish yourself, you know, may I be happy?

May I be safe?
