Audio #4: How to Give Yourself What You Want Without Feeling Guilty Description: A life without chocolate or wine just doesn’t seem like a life. We get it. How do you live an amazing and fun life depriving yourself or on the other hand indulging and packing on the pounds? Is there a way to have your cake and eat it to? Yes! May we suggest that what you need is a new perspective when it comes to defining food as “right” and “wrong”. Get ready for permission to listen to your body and its needs (even if it’s chocolate) without taking it to the level of dysfunction and abuse. Part Four will set you up with strategies and hope for your continued journey. Audio Discussion Depending on your coaching session format, use the following questions as discussion: • What food patterns have you identified in your own life? • How could you create a safe (or safer) environment? • Where in your life do you have free choice? • What are some healthy rituals you currently have? o Are there any new healthy rituals that could support you? What are they? • When you are eating, how will you know you are being present? • What are some possible strategies you can begin to implement to establish healthy patterns around your feelings so you DON’T Eat Your Feelings? • How is the principle “Progress, Not Perfection” reflected in your life? o What are some ways to more fully embrace this principle? Amber’s Tips 1. Know your patterns. Do something different. 2. Own your choices. Live in true choice. 3. Change your vocabulary. “I choose.” “I own my choice.” “I’m empowered by my healthy choices.” 4. When you indulge, eat what you really want. Not in mass quantities. 5. Be in the moment. Be thankful. Be grateful. Be conscious. Eat things slowly. Enjoy those decisions to indulge. 6. Don’t eat your feelings. Break your patterns. 7. Live by the 80/20 rule. Step into choice and know that it’s part of your health journey.
