Are you one among the millions of people who go for a chocolate
brownie or a plate of hot samosa when you are stressed?
You eat a healthy breakfast at home, and maybe also pack lunch from
home. All is going well, as planned, until - it is 4:00 pm in the evening and
you are feeling the pressure from your project deadline. You go to the cafeteria and order a plate
of hot pakora and extra strong tea (malai maar ke). You have your snack and
instantly you feel calmer.
Learn to handle stress - this is easier said than done.
With our fast-paced life and increased pressure, most of us are "stressful
eaters". During times of high stress, we attempt to fulfill our psychological needs with food.
A better way is to respond to stress in the right manner rather than
reacting to it by stuffing our mouths.
Here are few Stress Management Tips to heal stress related
weight-gain:
1. Become aware when you are stressed or anxious.
2. Ask yourself this question – Am I eating because I am hungry or
because I am stressed?
3. Find a distraction when you are tempted to eat due to anxiety.
4. Do not skip any meals.
5. Keep healthy snacks handy at home and in office.
6. Start maintaining a food journal - today.
7. Practice yoga / meditation / guided imagery and other relaxation
techniques.
8. Get enough sleep.
9. Most important of all, write this down on a post-it and stick it
on your computer and at home:
“Thank you for this wonderful gift of life and the abundant treasure it holds
for me.”
Remind yourself that you are a loving child of the Universe.
Everything that is happening to you, is happening for your best benefit (no
matter how stressful it may seem at the moment).
I would also recommend regular consumption of Divine Noni Juice. It
is a natural wholesome product. It helps to attain optimum mind-body
balance.
So, begin to relax and let go of the excess weight you are carrying.
