Here are some tips that you can do to take charge of stress and end binge eating disorder. Some tips might work for you, while some might not. You have to do a trial and error kind of method to see what fits best in your life. Or maybe you just need to tweak one thing to make it fit better. Play around with these tips so that you can have a less stressful holiday season and put an end to binge eating disorder.
Figure out how to calm yourself and relax. When you are most stressed, it’s really helpful to be able to take yourself out of the equation and go to a more relaxing place where things are that bad. If you have problems escaping to a calm place, try taking a yoga class or a meditation class that will help you focus and learn.
There are times when we stress out over things that we really have no control over. If you find yourself doing this, remind yourself that you shouldn’t be stressing out over it because you cannot change the outcome. It is what it is and all you can do is accept it and move forward. Plus, there are tons of things that we are capable of changing, so why not put your focus on those things.
Always have a plan. It doesn’t matter if you are trying to exercise more or just writing your “to-do” list. Make sure that you always have a plan to look back on and execute. It will help you to not get overwhelmed, binge eat, and to dissect each task one at a time. A plan always makes things seem easier and more attainable when it is step-by-step.
Journal, Journal, Journal. Always journal. Write your good feelings and your bad feelings in your journal. Use your journal as a way to escape from whatever is going on in your life. Make a decision to write all bad feelings, emotions, and happenings in your journal and then leave it there. Do not continue to dwell on anything bad. Get it off your chest, put it in your journal, and move on. Negative emotions that clung to me too closely always resulted in binge eating. Always.
Make time for yourself. No matter if you are in the role of mom, wife, caregiver to your dad, and an employee, make time for yourself. You don’t know how many people email me that they binge eat just because there is too much going on. They never have time to breathe, it feels like, or let alone time do get a manicure. I know times can be hard, but always take time for YOU. If money is low, tell your husband that you are going to take a bath and that no one is to disturb you… even if your bath is only 15 minutes, if will help. Learn to give yourself some much needed time too!
Everything always seems easier when it can be broken down into smaller tasks. It takes a lot of the overwhelming feelings out of the equation and opens your mind up more clearly to deal with the task at hand. Stress is the same way. You can deal with stress and end binge eating from stressful situations with a little practice.
