Emotional eating is often done when the person has no specific interest in life. He is looking for food to satisfy his soul whereas he can never be satiated. The more you eat the more you will feel hungry. These people live for food and nothing else. Inability to handle pressure often leads to misconceptions of feeling tired due to lack of food. This is just a myth. We should understand that stress often wears us down and food makes us feeling more tired and lethargic. Often a small problem seems like a mountain for them and they feel unable to battle it. So, they rush to the kitchen to soothe their nerves. BUT this is not the answer as it may make matters worse and leave you hungry for more.
A few simple steps to make you feel grounded and satisfies are as mains:
-
Deep breathing is the best answer to it. This can not just elevate your mood but refresh you as well. If there is someone responsible for this pent up stress try shaking him out of your mind and feel relaxed.
-
Be in the moment. Enjoy your present and forget you’re past and present. Rather soak yourself in the delicious aroma of the nature which is always there beside you.
-
Several experiences bring along different reactions in the body. Experience the pain or emotions in your body and let go off it by focusing on the pain and imagining that you are dragging a heavy rock out of your life
