When you start losing weight, proper nutrition, gym and discipline always give the desired result. Unfortunately, many people forget that if you seize your emotions and stress, then the weight will remain in place, and in the worst case, you can gain extra pounds. Therefore, it is important to learn how to cope not only with physical but also emotional hunger.
Nowadays, most people do not think much about the problem of their survival, so finding the right product on the store shelf is easier than ever, and this is playing a cruel joke. After all, instead of a real solution to the problem, the hand reaches for the refrigerator.
How to stop eating up emotions:
You need to honestly admit the situations in which breakdowns occur, and eliminate these problems. You should keep a diary where you record the reason and time of overeating. In most cases, it turns out that at the time of breakdowns, the same problem situations occur. This is an indication that not everything is in order with this area of life and you should seriously tackle the problem. The main reasons are stress at work, bad mood, conflicts with others, difficulties in love relationships.
It is important to learn to accept the emotions that are happening in the moment. In most cases, emotional stress is so strong that you want to relieve it as soon as possible. It is important to understand the nature of the emotions that are occurring and to take actions to help eliminate these causes.
- anger indicates that personal boundaries have been violated.
- anxiety prompts you to direct your actions towards solving a specific situation.
- apathy suggests that you can make your life better.
When a feeling of hunger arises, you need to gradually retrain and find another activity that, with the maximum opportunity, will help reduce stress at least for a while. For example, if you are in a bad mood, you can take a hot bath, read a book, listen to music, or talk to other people. The main thing to remember is an important rule - emotions will not go away immediately, but for some time it is necessary. It may not work at first, but once the habit gets back to normal, there will be much less breakdowns.
First of all, these are relaxation techniques that are aimed at relieving emotional stress. These are mainly breathing exercises, techniques for relieving muscle tension, physical activity, meditation. The advantage of such techniques is that they not only calm emotions, but also increase the vitality of the whole organism. You can use this not only as a tension, but simply for prevention. Then the relapse of the emergence of negative emotions will be much less.
