Monday Motivation Mini-Sode With Ellie
Remember your why's and motivate yourself to show up fully this week... FOR YOU.
In this episode Ellie talks about how to breakthrough impulsive food decisions, build mindfulness, and use the breath when an impulse to eat hits.
1. Get off autopilot
- Become aware of the feelings you feel when you are triggered to reach for food. (sadness, anxious, bored, etc.)
- Become aware of common patterns when these moments hit so you can be proactive and set yourself up for success.
- EX: Stressed on the way home from work and pick up a Starbucks muffin
- Before you leave work or when you get in the car, do 2 minutes of breath and make yourself a tea. Sit and breathe
2. When an impulse to eat hits,
- TUNE IN
- Consciously relax your body (body scan)
- Use your breath to calm your central nervous system and come back to your higher self.
- Ask yourself, What am I feeling? What do I really need in this moment?
