Back tomorrow with details of The Lockdown Retreat :)

Sick of boredom eating? Want a quick, 30-second way to tackle it? Then listen in... Some thoughts on the real reason that some many people are boredom eating - it is to give them a quick hit of something that was readily available pre-lockdown. Also a quick, actionable strategy you can use TODAY to curb boredom eating. I'll be back tomorrow with news about an online event I am doing this weekend that goes into more depth on this and other relevant topics.

Fancy a few hours off your life? These ten lockdown-proof activities will give you that sorely-needed break at a cost of zero pence. So turn off the news and block out all social media. Prepare to feel better right now!

I start the episode with a short rant about how everyone telling us that we should make the most of being stuck at home can too easily backfire. We need to be realistic about how much we can actually accomplish right now.

Here are all the activities I talk about

#1 The Theme From Badlands

#2 Space - as in any open space

#3 Kindle Unlimited Free Trial

#4 The End of Return Of The Jedi

#5 A Cathartic Cry

#6 Everything Is Alive

#7 Listen To A Perfect Album

#8 Kermode and Mayo's Film Review

Imagine the deity of Marvel handing out superpowers to The Black Widow, Batman, Superwoman, et al. They are all lined up and getting a bit bored. It's a bit like queuing up for a visa.

Marvel deity gives everyone their respective super-abilities: scaling wall for Spiderman, top notch espionage skills and a super-bracelet for Black Widow - and so it goes on.

At the end of the day, there are two superheros left in line: Lockdown Woman and Pandemic Man.

In this episode, find out what exactly is the superpower that Lockdown Woman, Pandemic Man and each and every one of us has within us to deal with this situation.

I also give you a practical strategy you can use right now to reduce your binge eating. More to follow in the days to come.

The 1 Minute Thought Experiment

http://www.theshiftinside.com/calm-your-coronavirus-anxiety-in-less-than-a-minute-ec-140/

Today I tell you all about how I helped one of my clients turn around her stress eating this week, regroup and come back stronger. I am so pleased she allowed me to share what we talked about on the call, because her behaviour around food was very typical. I am sure that you will resonate with her story.

The Failure Olympics Episode

http://www.theshiftinside.com/audio-the-failure-olympics-ec32/

Here is something you can do about your Coronavirus anxiety - immediately. If you give me five minutes of your time, I will give you an anxiety-calming tool that takes less than 60 seconds to implement. It costs nothing, and you can do this anywhere. You could even get away with this in the middle of a stressful meeting about COVID-19, and nobody will notice. It is not meditation, EFT or deep breathing. Before I explain exactly what this, let's imagine anxiety as a merry-go-round (or should I say unmerry-go-round). Anxiety looks at a problem and circles it. Not only does it fail to respond to that problem, but it starts disabling your higher creative thinking, which is so vital when it comes to the complex problems of the world in 2020. Anxiety also makes you susceptible to the profit-driven hysteria of the press. Cue more anxiety.You never get anywhere with anxiety as your tool to deal with Coronavirus. All it does is let you fool yourself that your state of hypervigilance is justified. Of course we need to be vigilant with the present COVID-19 situation. What I am saying is that hypervigilance, which means fretting beyond what is useful, increases our stress levels to the point where we cannot respond effectively. This is when stress can start to put an extra unneccessary load on our immune system, which is something that everyone needs to have functioning as effectively as possible right now. Listen and help get yourself out of hyper-vigilant anxiety that you know is doing you no good at all. RESOURCES Last episode http://www.theshiftinside.com/coronavirus-panic-lessons-for-binge-eating-podcast-ec-139/

Yes! It's a surprisingly cheerful podcast episode about Coronavirus. What?!? Starring toilet roll panic buying, Cavebrain and one kick-ass bride...

The state of panic that surrounds Coronavirus has some surprisingly useful hidden lessons to help you deal with your binge eating. In today's episode I tell you what two of those lessons are.

Just asking different questions about major challenges allows us to reclaim our power from victim stories immediately.

"The great upheavals of the world are just self-transformational seminars that a lot of unconscious people are forced to attend so that they look at their lives under pressure" – Stuart Wilde, Infinite Self
