Triggers are everywhere. We can’t avoid them. The key is to discern a method of dealing
with the feelings that wash over when the trigger kicks in. Ice-cream, cheese, chocolate, sponge cake, Belgian
buns for some of us these trigger indescribable feelings of comfort and love. But that is not about the food. It‘s never about the food. Part of the journey is learning why we
eat. And emotions don’t come into
it. They are filed under another place.
Be very clear deep inside why we eat: for
energy and for building blocks for maintenance and repair. Anything else isn’t eating. Anything else is a poor substitute for deeper
connection and self- love. Learn not to
be afraid. Learn to voice the intention
behind an action.
So in that moment the trigger bites: focus
on forming a single word that captures the essence of your intention: the bigger picture; hold on and then let
go. And trust.
And keep breathing. Things have a way of working themselves out in the end. Promise.
