009: When Your World Gets Shaken Up
Did the Covid pandemic leave you feeling like you had no control in your life? When you start to focus on all the things in your life that you have no control over, it can start to feel overwhelming very fast. But overwhelm is an emotion that won’t get you very far, especially if weight loss is one of your goals.
So in this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why overwhelm is an indulgent emotion
- Why we may overeat when we feel overwhelmed
- Three strategies for shifting out of overwhelm
We have a worksheet to help guide you through these strategies. Head on over to www.wayzahealth.com/sphere-of-control to download your copy and get started.
