RESULTS
EMOTIONALLY
TRIGGERED
WHAT YOUR RESULT MEANS -
Based on your responses, it seems that you sometimes turn to food and drink when your emotions are strong and overwhelming.
You might be unconsciously triggered to eat and drink at certain times as a way of coping with emotional dysregulation.
Be mindful of instances where you're eating and drinking in response to your feelings rather than to satisfy your body's need for nourishment.
YOUR BODY NEEDS FUEL...
Your emotions need acknowledgement.
Being emotionally triggered can lead to decisions that undermine your long-term health and wellness goals, trapping you in a cycle of weight gain and loss.
When you're emotionally dysregulated or overwhelmed, it's easy to make poor food choices.
By balancing and acknowledging your emotions, you can make choices that better support your goals.
3 HACKS FOR EMOTIONAL REGULATION
1. RESPOND - DON'T REACT
Emotions need acknowledgement.
If they are suppressed they tend to manifest in different ways that generally are not to the benefit of our peace and happiness.
When you feel an emotion rise, acknowledge it.
Explore it and allow it.
Give yourself the space to feel the emotion and use other techniques to process it like relaxation, exercise, stress reduction, talking to a friend, walking, dancing, laughing and hypnosis are all great tools to use to help you bring yourself into an emotionally regulated state.
2. ASK THE QUESTION
Emotional eaters often tend to eat past the point of satiation as they are unconsciously satisfying an emotion opposed to hunger.
When you are preparing to eat, ask yourself:
Am I feeding my body or my emotions?
If you answer the latter then implement an emotional regulation tool as described above until you feel in more neutral state.
SLIM THINKING GOLDEN RULE -
"Eat when you are hungry, stop when you are satisfied."
This statement is a Slim Thinking blueprint statement that we recommend repeating as many times per day as you can.
Morning on waking and night time just before sleep are optimal times to help retrain the mind.
We only need nutritious food and water as fuel to help our body function at optimum.
Excess food is a waste on the body and causes extra work and impacts our system which can often result in negative effects.
