Oh how I wish some days I could just be as relaxed as Zoe, lounging around so care free.
Last couple weeks I've been a little stressed out selling the house, renovating, relationship issues, financial issues ugh! and it is not helping add anything good to my weightloss challenge. 1 month to go and so far zero lbs lost. I am an emotional eater which is just horrible and I don't even know how to control it. When the gitters are here I rush for the chocolate the cookies the anything sweeet. Which is not good as the sugar can add to those gitters! I'm feeling really sluggish too and just need to snap out of this. So I'm tying to use some techniques Ive heard of before. (trying)
Deep breathes; breathe in, hold for 5 secs and release do this 5 times when getting those gittery feelings.
Laugh: really hard to stay focused on the bad stuff when smiling and laughing
Affirmations: repeat good stuff to myself every chance I get!
What are some of your ways of dealing with stress, let me know, I could use all the help I neeed! ;)
Aww, so sorry you're stressed! I've been stressed lately too... we also are renovating our house, I've had the flu for a week and a half, and I will be in class all this weekend... ugh!
ReplyDeleteYesterday I went outside, sat in the sun for a few minutes, listened to some music, and just closed my eyes and tried to forget everything for a few minutes. Music can really help with stress!!
