Relaxation
is a huge part of your self-care program if you want to fight fat over 40.
Nothing is a waist of time if it puts your brain to rest.
Planning
your downtime or ME time daily helps to deal with daily stress --
prevents it from accumulation and eventual burnout.
We
all suffer the mid-afternoon slump: that lethargic, lack-of-motivation
apathy that sets in and kicks our internal engine to idle.
Instead
of engaging in mindless stress eating to pick you up, give yourself
permission to take a 5 or 10 minute mental break:
- try instant relaxation,
- breath mindfully,
- get yourself a cup of black tea,
- take a walk,
- read a book,
- doing facials,
- taking bath,
- doing household chores.
“Frustration
stems from your inner critic and only serves to make us crazed,”
says Loretta LaRoche, the author of Life is Short, Wear Your Party
Pants. “Have fun. There are no tombstones that say, ‘Did everything, died
anyway.”
Many more solutions how to create self-care
buffer-zone and stop stress eating, and so much more in 8-week Mindful Eating Program.
