Emotional and physical stress are the most common causes of
overeating. Think about it, don't you naturally make better food
choices when you are relaxed and calm? Of course you do, so take a
deep breath, relax, and commit to reading this article. You will find
yourself feeling more calm and peaceful now as you do.
Here are 5 simple ways that anyone can use to relax throughout the
day:
*While you are driving turn off the radio and focus on your breath. It
is so easy to waste the time we spend in the car listening to the
radio or getting frustrated by the traffic. Instead, use that time to
make yourself feel better.
*When you are working on the computer occasionally bring your
attention to your shoulders and relax them as you take a deep breath.
A sign saying RELAX/BREATHE somewhere on your monitor will help you to
remember to do this.
*During the day choose a moment when you aren't busy and close your
eyes as tightly as you can and then relax them completely. This is a
good way to wring out all the tension from your eyes.
*While you are sitting on the sofa take a moment and exhale all the
air out of your lungs and then take a deep breath in and hold it for
about 10 seconds then exhale. Do this 3 times.
*While you are lying in bed do a progressive relaxation. Start by
relaxing your toes and move all the way up through your legs and into
your chest relaxing all the different muscles as you go until you get
to the top of your head. Repeat as necessary.
You will find that the more you do these things the better you will
feel, and your stress levels will quickly diminish. Relaxation is one
of the greatest gifts you can give yourself because it will affect
every area of your life for the better.
