Sometimes one of the biggest barriers we face in reaching our goals is ourselves. In this session, we will discuss self-sabotaging behaviours and explore how self-sabotaging thoughts can contribute to them. We will also brainstorm how to apply the principle of self-compassion to develop a more constructive counter dialogue to avoid these thinking traps and maintain momentum towards one's goals. 

This talk will address the following questions:

What is the mechanism that links obesity and cancer?

What general cancer screening recommendations apply to me?

How can I reduce the risk of cancer?

Preparing meals for one person can present some unique challenges, some of which include: food waste, dietary fatigue from leftovers, difficulty altering calculations for recipes, decreased motivation, and lack of resources/support. In this session we will explore strategies for working through these barriers to make meal planning more feasible and enjoyable as a single person.
