    One of my MOST listened to podcasts, by a landslide, is on phone addiction. Which surprised me I won’t lie. (If you haven’t listened to it go listen! It makes more sense if you listen to it first).A majority of us struggle with anxiety, depression, restlessness, sleep deprivation, and a whole host of things that is fairly new to our generation in such large numbers. Why is that?Studies are showing that social media addiction and screen time can be correlated with the symptoms listed above. Now, I am not saying they solely and directly cause them, but if you know in your gut that you need to take some accountability and be more conscious with your social media and phone time, then have a listen to this episode!As always, if you have any questions please contact me!@Ambitiononline@DreiawesselsSupport the show (http://Ambitiononline.fitness)

    Read this 1st!Here I talk about my history as a competitor, and some of the disordered eating patterns I exhibited that I didn't realise were disordered eating! As I was editing the episode I realised I left out a few things, so those will be for another episode another day.Here is what psychologytoday.com says about disordered eating:"Signs and Symptoms of Disordered EatingSymptoms of disordered eating may include behavior commonly associated with eating disorders, such as food restriction, binge eating, purging (via self induced vomiting or excessive exercise, and use of diet pills and/ or laxatives). However, disordered eating might also include:Self worth or self esteem based highly or even exclusively on body shape and weightA disturbance in the way one experiences their body i.e. a person who falls in a healthy weight range, but continues to feel that they are overweightExcessive or rigid exercise routineObsessive calorie countingAnxiety about certain foods or food groupsA rigid approach to eating, such as only eating certain foods, inflexible meal times, refusal to eat in restaurants or outside of one’s own homeDisordered Eating vs. Eating DisordersWhat distinguishes disordered eating from a full-blown eating disorder? It is all about degree. An individual with disordered eating is often engaged in some of the same behavior as those with eating disorders, but at a lesser frequency or lower level of severity. However, disordered eating is problematic and to be taken seriously, though the symptoms might not be as extreme as those of a diagnosable eating disorder. Individuals with disordered eating may be at risk for developing a full-blown eating disorder and are more likely to have a history of depression and/ or anxiety, or be at risk for anxiety and depression at some point in the future.

    Anxiety affects a huge majority of the population, ranging from mild anxiety to severe anxiety. You aren't alone and this is something that a majority of the population struggles with. If you find yourself struggling with this and have been for a long time but arent vocalising it or doing anything about it, I really suggest starting with some of the suggestions I mentioned, and most importantly seeing an expert. You don't need to have a disorder or mental issue to see a professional, sometimes it's just about being cautious and being sent in the right direction.
