Habits may be defined as actions you take on a regular basis without thinking about it.
Ever find yourself reaching for snacks when you're stressed or bored? In this episode of 'Underground Confidence Recovery', Shelley Treacher, a BACP Accredited Somatic Psychotherapist, dives into the nitty-gritty of breaking the comfort eating habit. Comfort eating is more than just a craving—it's a powerful habit that many of us develop without even realizing it. Shelley breaks down how these habits form and why they can be so tough to shake off.
She explains that nearly 40% of our daily actions are habitual, meaning we do them without thinking. So, how do you change something that's practically on autopilot? Shelley suggests starting small. By experimenting with new routines and associating them with rewards, you can begin to shift your habits. She emphasizes the importance of being aware of your triggers and the situations that lead to comfort eating.
It's not just about willpower; understanding the social and environmental cues that influence your behavior is key. Shelley also touches on the role of resistance and how to approach change with an experimental mindset. Trying out different alternatives until you find what works for you can make all the difference. One interesting tip she shares is to have a buddy system—someone who can support you through the process.
Feeling the reward at the end of a successful change is crucial for making it stick. If you're looking to break free from comfort eating or any other stubborn habit, this episode offers practical, actionable advice that you can start implementing today. Tune in and take the first step towards reclaiming control over your habits.
