#37: What to do with all the FEELINGS!!

Hello Body Freedom

Dealing with our emotions is HARD. I know because I’ve been there and it took its time for me to fully start feeling them without turning to food to shove them down.

In this episode, I’ll give you strategies for dealing with intense emotions without turning to food as a coping mechanism.

Also, I’ll share practical tips and techniques to help you healthily process your feelings, including distraction methods, body-based practices, and self-reflection exercises.

It is essential to honor your emotions and listen to your body's needs.

I’ll dive into:

✨ How to embody acceptance and Self-Compassion in the process of healing your relationship with food.

✨ The impact of practicing outer practices for processing emotions and distracting yourself from eating.

✨ How engaging in embodied practices can help you regulate your nervous system and provide a healthier outlet for processing emotions.

If you're interested in diving deeper into these strategies and exploring how to cultivate a healthier relationship with food and your body, I invite you to check out the full episode on the Hello Body Freedom podcast.
Remember, you are not alone on this journey. Reach out if you need support or guidance, and together, we can create a life filled with joy, healing, and true freedom.
