Embrace Life Beyond Stress: Unveiling the Path to Overcoming Unhealthy Habits

Aug 25, 2023

 

You know, this life of ours has a funny way of throwing us curveballs when we least expect it.  

 

We often find ourselves tangled up in the web of unhappiness and stress and struggling to break free.  

 

It's during these challenging times that we often turn to our various coping strategies, and for many of us, that means some not-so-healthy eating behaviors. 

 

I've been there – feeling like the weight of the world is pressing down on me and the easiest and fastest escape is through the comfort of food 

 

Late-night snacks, that piece of cake quickly purchased as you walk past the shop, or the crunch or chewiness of your favourite confectionary. They all offer a fleeting moment of solace, a temporary distraction from the overwhelming emotions that surround us.

 

It feels like a brief respite, a momentary pause from the chaos of reality. 

 

We think that food is giving us pleasure but the pleasure isn’t really derived from the food itself, it comes from masking the underlying emotions as we get to experience something different in that moment. 

 

Uncomfortable feelings drive us to seek numbness and refuge in these eating behaviors. And who can blame us? Life can be downright tough, and we're only human after all. 

 

But here's the thing, whilst breaking free from our learned behaviors isn't a walk in the park and it can be a challenge that requires determination and self-awareness, we can do it by acknowledging that these coping mechanisms, whilst they might provide momentary relief, aren't the solution to our problems, and that they're just a Band-Aid on a wound that needs proper care. 

 

So, how do we overcome this hurdle? How do we move beyond these habits that seem ingrained in us?  

 

We develop our Personal Health Leadership™ skills and step into the joy of living.  

 

Living intentionally, living mindfully and discovering that you can find your freedom in Personal Health Leadership™.

 

It's about realizing that you have the power to change your course, and steer yourself away from the habits that no longer serve you. 

 

It’s about living, not just existing day to day. It's about actively participating in your own life which includes embracing the discomfort of change and growth. 

 

It's about making conscious choices that align with your well-being, even when it's hard. It's a process of learning to sit with your emotions, to face them head-on, and widening your perspectives to see that although there is shit happening, there is also many wonderful things that you can enjoy and delight in. 

 

And that's where the magic happens.  

 

When we start living with intention, those unhealthy coping mechanisms start losing their grip on us as we discover healthier ways to deal with stress and unhappiness. 

 

Whether it's through exercise, meditation, talking to a friend, or engaging in a hobby we're passionate about or simply finding little pockets of happiness throughout each and every day, you have the capacity to adapt, to grow, and to thrive despite the challenges that come your way. 

 

It’s your life, be involved in how it turns out.
