Anthea discusses self sabotage, one of the most frustrating challenges we face when working towards our health goals.

Anthea talks about how to identify this behaviour when it arises, and what we can do to overcome and surpass it in order to keep us moving towards our fitness and wellbeing goals.

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

• Self-sabotage is very common in the weight loss arena, especially for those with a perfectionist tendency. The smallest things can often lead us to jettison our entire programme.
• If you've eaten too much then the feeling can be physically disastrous. It perpetuates a sense of self-loathing and frustration. These feelings lead into other feelings. Try peppermint or fennel tea to alleviate this.
• Specific breathing exercises can help us to change our state. Box breathing in particular allows us to tap into the para-sympathetic nervous system, which is designed to calm us down.
• To reach our goals, we have to put in place not one single action, but usually a series of actions. If we find ourselves lacking in one action, then turn your focus to another.

BEST MOMENTS
