When temptation hits... don't stand there and negotiate with it. Flee.

In this episode I share one of the most practical and underrated tools in my entire health comeback arsenal — physically moving your body away from the thing that is pulling at you. The Bible says flee from temptation. Not resist it from across the room. Not white knuckle your way through it standing in front of the open refrigerator. Flee.

I also share the science behind WHY this works. Your brain is seeking dopamine when a craving hits. And movement — even just dancing in your kitchen for three minutes or walking to the end of your street — floods your brain with the same feel good chemicals it was chasing with the food. Your brain was not actually hungry. It was just looking for a hit. And you can give it one without opening the pantry.

What we cover:

• Why the Bible says flee — not resist — from temptation and what that actually looks like practically
• The dopamine connection between cravings and movement
• Practical ways to flee — dancing, walking, jumping, leaving the house entirely
• Why leaving the house is Leslie's personal favorite strategy and what to do with the temptation on your way out

Your tiny step from this episode:
The next time a craving hits put on one song and move until it is over. See what is on the other side of three minutes of movement.
