If you've ever found yourself turning to food when you're feeling emotional, this week's podcast episode is for you.
Many of us who recognise that we eat emotionally often blame the food, but what if it wasn't the food, and it was actually all about your fear of truly feeling your feelings?
The food simply gives us that ‘feel-good’ hit of dopamine in an attempt to soothe the horrible feelings inside, creating an emotional ticking time-bomb.
In this episode, we dive deep into the topic of emotional eating, how to recognise the habit, and how to overcome it. Listen in to learn how to overcome your emotions by being with them and processing them instead of suppressing them.
What You Will Learn:
- How food helps suppress negative emotions driving them to grow and eventually reach a breaking point.
- How the habit of emotional eating is developed to avoid pain.
- Stop judging yourself, get curious about your feelings, and practice being with them.
- Learn to tune into your body and feel the vibration of your feelings.
- Allow your body to release negative emotions and understand that it is okay to feel them.
Quotes:
- “Feelings are created by what’s going on in our mind.” [9:45]
- “No matter how great the emotion is and how hard it feels like it is to deal with, it is just a vibration.” [17:50]
