Sometimes it feels like you’re doing a lot of the things you need to get a result - but you’re not quite doing everything you could. And yet in spite of the fact you know this, there’s still a big part of you that’s just getting frustrated that you’re not getting the result that you truly want.

And we can sometimes end up here for a long time - hoping that we can keep doing the same things and something is just going to magically shift or change, or that some super easy, effortless hack is going to pop up that means we’ll finally get where we want to.

But we all know that’s not the way things work. So today, I’m talking about how to decide the best route to take when you’re in this situation, and how to decide what you’re truly willing to do to see the changes that you want.

Takeaways include:

-Why staying on “resistance road” is tempting - but unhelpful

-Empowering yourself by choosing between “acceptance avenue” or the “commitment causeway”

-Weighing up the compromises and pros and cons to each approach

Safe to say that we all engage in a bit of emotional eating from time to time. But if its something that we start to feel is sabotaging our efforts with healthier eating on a regular basis, then it can become really tempting to try and control it with diets, restriction and cutting out certain foods for periods of time.

We feel like the more control we have over ourselves, the less likely we will be to react emotionally to food. But unfortunately, that strategy often falls on it’s face. Today we’ll be delving into what’s going on with emotional eating - whether what we’re experiencing is actually the result of something different, and then we’ll explore some practical strategies for tackling the self sabotage of emotional eating once and for all.

Takeaways include:

-How to find out if you’re really experiencing emotional eating, or if it could be something else

-Why emotional eating isn’t necessarily a bad thing

-The steps we can take to stop sabotaging with emotional eating

We’d all love to feel more in control right - to be able to deal with all the day to day stuff that life throws at us, to be totally organised and to have the time to look after ourselves as well. And in that mythical land where we are the ones in control, everything suddenly feels easy, we can finally be exactly who we want to be, and we can have the life that we crave.

Except what if all of this effort we’re putting into having control is actually having the opposite effect - making us feel more anxious and keeping us awake at 3 in the morning as we try to figure out how to keep it all together and manage life to the very best of our ability.

Well today we’re going in. We’re talking about what we think we’re going to achieve and feel in our lives by having more control - and we’re maybe going to busy a myth or two around that which will have you thinking very differently by the end of this episode.

Takeaways include:

-What really happens when we try and exert more control in our lives

-The dangers of super high personal expectations and all of those “should”

-What happens when you finally let go of people pleasing
