Don’t Try to Be Perfect, But Do Your Best for Yourself by Jessica Athayde

Don’t Try to Be Perfect But Do Your Best for Yourself by Jessica Athayde Publisher: A Esfera dos Livros "At age 24, after reaching my breaking point and ending up in the hospital, I decided to make peace with my body and relearn everything I thought I knew about nutrition, physical exercise, and emotional health. I chose to change—and opted to become healthier and stronger, because that depends solely on me. Yet being healthy does not mean having 0% body fat, defined abs, or weighing next to nothing; rather, it means having a strong, nourished body—one we care for and respect, regardless of its shape. I discovered the power of food and superfoods, what green juices, dancing, meditation, or friends can do for me. While it’s true that we are what we eat, it’s equally true that our bodies reflect the amount of movement we give them. After I began listening to my body and giving it what it asked for, I gained a level of self-esteem I’d never known before. Yet taking responsibility for our physical and mental health isn’t just about eating well and moving our bodies; it’s also about caring for our thoughts, our hearts, and how they align. ‘Don’t try to be perfect, but do your best for yourself…’ is one of my life mantras—a phrase I repeat constantly. I believe we can do so much for ourselves if we pay attention to what we eat, if we tend to our well-being—without forgetting to be happy. In this book, I share my choices, my journey, and what works for me—and I hope it resonates with you too. Hand-delivery available in the Lourinhã area.
