Let&#8217;s take initiative to create patterns to help us live with more presence and joy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\">Self Awareness is Key<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"\">If you can check in with what you are feeling, you can better support yourself. If you don\u2019t know what\u2019s going on inside, you are likely to project onto others\u2026to distract yourself instead of address issues\u2026and to be frustrated instead of effective. Self reflective practices will help you understand your needs better. They will also support behaviors that address the actual issues. For example, when you feel hungry at an odd time, pause and ask yourself, &#8220;What do I really need&#8230;am I really hungry?&#8221; Wait for the answer before you act.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\">Have Your Own Back<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Don\u2019t put off what you need. If you need to go to the bathroom, don\u2019t wait more than a few minutes. If you are thirsty, get some water. If you are sleepy, its better to take a 15 minute nap and then do 45 min of effective work rather than to be drowsy at the computer for an hour. Take care of you. No one knows what you need better than you. It&#8217;s your job to be the CNO (Chief Nurturing Officer) of yourself so you can show up as the Real You!<\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\">Give Yourself What You Really Need<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"\">When your energy is low you might be tempted to eat for energy\u2026.but what you really need is a nap or a walk in the sunshine. Check in and see what you really need. And don&#8217;t be afraid to give that to yourself &#8211; putting your needs at the bottom of the list is a habit you are finally done with.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\">Eating as a Distraction From What You are Feeling<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"\">When its tough to handle the emotions swimming around inside yourself, you might be tempted to eat as a temporary distraction. Remember, food is for satisfying hunger, not handling stress. Eat well and use other methods to manage emotions like physical movement, conversing with a loved one, journaling, or meditating.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\">Make Meals a Special Occasion to Enjoy<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Sit down at the table, with a nice place setting, fresh nourishing food you plated well, and the time to eat slowly and enjoy your food. If you eat while distracted you won\u2019t enjoy the food and typically over consume by 10-15% compared to undistracted eating. That extra food can add 30 lbs a year! Eat what you need but not more than you need.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\">Good News!<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"\">I have just released a new audio course called&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/rachelbeckwellness.com\/newsite\/product\/how-to-develop-a-healthy-sustainable-relationship-with-food\/\"> How to Develop a Healthy and Sustainable Relationship with Food<\/a> and it is a bounty of resources.
