I recently traveled by plane from Northern California to Grand Rapids, Michigan. I had signed up, a few years ago, to attend a 4-day Speaker Training Intensive. I knew we would be learning about speaking on stage, writing our speech, and speaking on a large stage to an audience while being videotaped. 

I expected I would experience an interesting trip, learn lots of usable information about speaking and speak on stage. No big deal. 

What I did not expect was to feel a level of fear that felt like it was increasing and could stop me from getting on the stage. 

Today on the Feed Your Soul with Kim Podcast we are discussing fear and anxiety. You will learn the step-by-step method I used to lower my anxiety and focus on my Speaker Training Intensive. 

Join us in this Feed Your Soul with Kim Podcast where we discuss:

• How my experience on stage can help you reduce your fears.
• 10 specific ways to lower anxiety and fear.
• How to make this your go-to strategy when you feel afraid.

 Please note, if you have a high level of anxiety, fear, and panic- it can be helpful to seek out a licensed psychotherapist. Check your local listings for a therapist near you.

When my daughter was in preschool, she came home with a paper listing 100 items for a “Summer Bucket List." The paper proclaimed it had 100 fun things to do before summer kicks the bucket. 

This list had many items on it that were associated with summer: 

1.   Swim after dark. 

2.   Go to a professional baseball game.  

3.   Have breakfast for dinner. 

I had heard of a bucket list as being kind of morbid related to what you want to do before you die. It had never occurred to me that it could be expanded to a list you want to do over the summer. 

I looked at that list for a while and decide to make my own Summer Bucket List for me and my family. Now each summer we discuss what activities we want to do. I have learned that the only way to get these kinds of activities on the calendar is to write them down AND put them in the calendar. What is not on the calendar does not seem to get done. 

Join us in this Feed Your Soul with Kim Podcast where we discuss: 

• Why you NEED a Summer Bucket List.
• 5 questions to ask yourself to get the Summer Bucket List right.
• How to make this your go-to summer strategy.

In talking about Emotional Eating, it is helpful to determine if you are one. Right? 

Emotional eating means you are not dealing with emotions in a way that will fix the problem. The food can help emotions temporarily, but it is not the fix. Emotions need to be dealt with so there is a resolution. When food is used as the resolutions for emotions, the emotions aren’t settled: truthfully it will exacerbate the emotions. 

Join us in this Feed Your Soul with Kim Podcast where we discuss:

• 6 questions to determine if you are an emotional eater.
• 5 options to manage emotional eating.  
• 1 way to address emotional eating effectively.

First, let’s start with the facts

 It is predicted that the Global market for the weight loss industry will grow from $254.9 billion in 2021 to $377.3 billion by 2026.

We have all be trained that the only option to deal with overeating and weight concerns is dieting. That is the consistent message we have all heard since childhood. Many families by into this concept and put their children and teens on a diet, which is a predictor for eating disorders for those who are predisposed to eating disorders. 

We are sold weight loss products at an alarmin rate. They are heavily marketed at the first of the year and prior to summer aka “bikini season.” We are told by the weight loss industry that we are not ok at the size we are and that we need to lose weight to be “healthy.” There is imagery that people who are thin are happy and people who are overweight are sad and lonely.  We have been sold a bill of goods- literally.

The diet mindset has been planted in use at a young age and it is pervasive throughout our lives unless we combat it. 

1)      We think we need to be a certain size.

2)      Society teaches us that we cannot accept our bodies except if we are thin. 

3)      There is a scale driven mindset where we must have a certain number on the scale to think that we are good enough or desirable. 

What do we know about diets?

·         First, they focus on deprivation. There are forbidden foods, and we want what we cannot have.

·         Second, diets make us focus on food all the time.

·         Third, diets lead us to see food as good or bad. 

How can you ditch the diet? 

1.       Ask yourself, what is dieting to me? Is it a constant focus on food, scale and what I can’t have?

2.       Are you focused on your weight?

3.       Learn to eat intuitively.

It takes time and support to ditch the diet mindset, because it is so pervasive in our culture. Be sure to get in a community where others are focused on letting go of the diet mindset AND give yourself the opportunity to learn about intuitive eating to let go of dieting. This is put you in step with a process that will lead to food freedom.
