5 Steps to Feeling Your Feelings | How to Process Emotions

Stop using food as a buffer for your negative emotions   We
talk a lot in this podcast about recognizing the thoughts that
precipitate our emotions.  Remember, all emotions are the
result of a thought.  But we also really need to spend some
time talking about the power of those emotions over our actions.
       We do a lot of things to avoid negative
emotion: we eat, drink alcohol, watch tv, scroll social media etc,
all in an effort to BUFFER those feelings we don't want to feel.
 Not only do we avoid feeling those negative emotions, but we
then go further and avoid situations, relationships, opportunities,
etc. that might trigger us to feel that emotion we're avoiding.
 Our life gets smaller and smaller, avoiding the negative
means we also get less of the positive.     We do that,
because honestly feeling those negative emotions like sadness,
shame, pain, guilt, loss, etc. SUCKS! Feeling those feelings is not
a fun or enjoyable process so of course we avoid it! But we also
avoid it because we just don't know how to deal with those
feelings.  No one ever taught us how to process emotion so
that we can move past it, and it's a CRUCIAL skill if we want to
live a bigger life.     In the worlds of therapy,
medicine, and coaching there are several modalities for releasing
"stuck" emotion, and many of them are very effective, but they also
require the help of a professional.  In this episode I'm going
to give you a simple 5 step system that will help you coach
yourself through negative emotion and help you feel your feelings
so you can move past them.   The 5 steps are: 1. NOTICE - when
you're buffering 2. NAME the negative emotion 3. FEEL the emotion -
in your body 4. PROCESS the emotion - go deeper 5. RELEASE the
emotion   Can you imagine what if would be like if you no
longer NEEDED to buffer with food? How freeing would it be to have
the skill to process those negative emotions, to not be afraid of
feeling them anymore? Think of the choices that you might make
differently, the opportunities you might seize a hold of if you are
not afraid anymore to feel those negative emotions?  Your life
could open up exponentially. It' s not the easy way, but no one
ever said you'd get an amazing life by doing the easy
thing.       XOXO Tara   PS.

know how hard it is to make any real lasting change.
 Unfortunately most women get stuck in the belief that being
on a diet is the only way to lose weight and get healthy, and when
they inevitably fail they’ve destroyed their self esteem, destroyed
their relationship with food, and get stuck in a guilt/shame spiral
that starts the whole process over again.   If you don’t
understand how reprogram your mind that is sabotaging you, and
reprogram your body for health, you’ll never make lasting progress.
  That’s why I created the Healthy Mind, Healthy Body

transformation in your Mind AND Body.
