On a scale of 1-10 how stressed are you typically? We all know stress isn’t good for you and we really don’t want you experiencing chronic stress! Of course for the obvious reasons but also because too much cortisol in the body gives negative effects to our goal.
How do we handle this?
Easy answer, our mantra: “STRONG”. As soon as you feel stressed, visualize our affirmation! See those letters, in your favorite font, favorite color, in your favorite background. Repeat it after me, S T R O N G. Get back to your present, remind yourself stress isn’t worth it. Let’s get our mind right so we can handle everything else so maybe we can reduce the stress.
Do you have stress eating habits?
Yes! Don’t we all? The key is to find what the trigger is and where you turn to. Know your body. When does this ^ activity occur? (at night, binging during work, middle of the night, morning?)
The solution: Conscious eating! Enjoying each bite, chewing a spoonful 6-8 times (try it!) Thinking through what this meal is going to do for you. Is what’s going to your mouth going to help refuel, build, tone, , etc.
I’ve become so structured from years of doing this that I question myself before cheat meals. Like “Lorelle do you really want this?” You are what you eat is really the #Truth as this fitness and health thing is 98% of what you eat.
Tackle your stress eating so you can be stronger! Nothin’ tastes as good as STRONG feels!
