Habit 11 – Tactical strategies

Choose your own adventure.

Replay of the live coaching call can be viewed HERE

There are 2 very different strategies to deal with wanting to eat when NOT hungry. This week you are going to trial them both out.

1 .  Delay, distract, distance and decide

Just as the name suggests, you are going to give yourself some breathing space to see if you really do want to eat the choccy biscuit or if its simply out of mindless habit.

2. Feel the feelings

The total opposite of choice 1.

For this one you need to check in with yourself, feel the feelings and ask yourself what you really want right now. If hunger is not the issue, then what need are you trying to fill?

This one can be harder than delay and distract, but the payoff will be greater.

It’s worth repeating, that this is not about being perfect. If you have never done this before then don’t expect the answer to come to you on first try. Be open, be curious, view it as an experiment. Keep trying.

Oh and this doesn’t mean that you don’t get to eat the food. You can eat whatever the hell you like (your rules), but sometimes doing these exercises will mean that you don’t actually want to eat it anymore.

As always please check in with the Facebook group to share your findings.
