Rediscovering Healthy Eating: A Journey Through Mindfulness and Emotions
We should combine both, and I will get back to the emotions, like I said, so that you know what to do with these nasty emotions which play tricks on your well-being and then on the way you're eating as well, and also on our relationships.
Spring has arrived, and with it comes a chance to shake off the winter blues and embrace healthier habits. In this episode of 'Shrink', psychotherapist and coach Philippe Tahon delves into the art of mindful and intuitive eating. Philippe knows firsthand how easy it is to get lost in the chaos of daily life, especially with the constant stream of information and images we face.
He encourages listeners to pause and check in with their emotions before reaching for that snack or meal. Philippe's approach is all about creating a deeper connection with oneself. He suggests keeping a food and emotion diary to track your eating habits and emotional states. This simple yet powerful tool can help you identify patterns and understand your relationship with food better. It's not just about what you eat, but why you eat it.
Are you eating because you're hungry, or are you trying to soothe stress or boredom? The episode also tackles the often-overlooked aspect of acknowledging and dealing with negative emotions in a healthy way. Philippe emphasizes that it's okay to feel anxious or down, especially in these uncertain times. By combining mindfulness practices with intuitive eating, you can develop new skills and habits that promote overall well-being.
Whether you're looking to shed a few pounds, improve your mental health, or simply want to develop a healthier relationship with food, this episode offers practical advice and compassionate insights. Philippe's empathetic and experienced perspective makes this a must-listen for anyone on a journey toward better health.
