Positively Anti-Inflammatory

122. It’s understandable that people feel distress about eating emotionally. Our society has pathologized it, viewing emotional eating as having a lack of self-control or a problem that needs to be fixed. But, eating IS emotional and using food to cope with emotions isn’t always inherently negative. Join me this week as I explore the topic of emotional eating and offer a different perspective from what our society and diet culture have influenced us to think about it.

121. Have you ever felt that you wasted an entire day? Ever felt that you’re a failure because you didn’t get everything done on your “to do” list? Perhaps you struggle with having the right work/life balance and you feel something is wrong with you when you’re not able to do it all? If you answered “yes” to any of these, then you likely have experienced productivity shame. Join me this week as I discuss what productivity shame is, why we have it, and I will suggest three ways to break out of the (unproductive) cycle of productivity shame.

113. Have you ever had an experience or emotion that you pushed away and avoided? I know, we all have. Typically, when you resist something in your reality, whether it’s a feeling or circumstance, you are doing two things: you are placing judgment and you are arguing with your reality. But when you do, you’re essentially perpetuating your suffering. Tune in this week as I discuss the idea that “what you resist, persists.” I explain what that means, why resistance blocks growth and how it can be detrimental to your wellbeing. I will share 3 ways to let go of resistance and open up to acceptance.
