Strategy 1: Eat More Protein

Protein can help increase our feelings of fullness in our body, signaling to our brain that we don't need or want to eat anymore. This can be a really helpful tool to engage your physiology to combat stress eating and bring awareness that you are trying to meet an emotional and mental hunger (stress) with a physical response (food).

Strategy 2: Begin a Daily Sensation Awareness Practice

Sensation awareness practice draws your attention to the physical sensations you are experiencing right now. The sensation of your breath, the sensation of sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch, and the sensations of your body. This focus on sensation can be a powerful way to stop ruminating thoughts and come back to the present. Watch the 5-minute video to learn more.

Strategy 3: Practice Self Compassion

Self Compassion is so important to help us get back on track after a stress eating episode. Falling into guilt or shame can lead to more stress eating, avoidance, or giving up entirely. Compassion is key to coming back to center and re-grounding in our goals as soon as possible. Watch this 4-minute video to learn more.
