With weight management challenges, you need to carefully watch for emotional and mental triggers until your awareness of these have reached a point where they change naturally. This is where many dieters give up. At first it can be very difficult to be detached and nonjudgmental about our triggers. We all to often end up eating so we dont have to look at what we see about when were not numbing ourselves with food. If we ever get past that point, true emotional healing and mental re-patterning can occur. So try to objectively observe what your triggers may be. Research this field for yourself and find the resources you resonate with, from books and videos to workshops and spas.
Some activities can help re-direct cravings. Take a walk, dance to some good music, take a hot shower, drink some herb tea, do something creative, call a friend, prepare a new raw recipe that takes some effort and time, cuddle with a loved one, meditate, chant or pray, drink more water (should be drinking water every two to three hours anyway), inhale essential oils, read a book. Laugh and have fun! Some people like to get counseling or join a weight loss group. Take the risk of talking with others who are going through the same things you are. It will be invaluable support. If your
emotional baggage is contributing to your weight, you might find that a
release ceremony is effective for releasing past wounds, hurt feelings and fear based on past experience. There are numerous workshops, books, videos, audio programs and websites dedicated to these subjects. Research them for yourself to find the ones you resonate with and that are in harmony with your own beliefs.
Of course, no weight loss program would be complete without including exercise. Planning on joining a gym and doing more exercise, but dont hold your breath! Also do Tai Ji Quan almost every day. Tai Ji Quan or Qi Gong is great for building energy, toning the body and enhancing lymph circulation and cleansing.
