Emotional Eating Strategy #3: Pause
Sleep is critical for our health and well being. During this time, it is even more crucial to aim to get quality sleep. Here are some tips to help you with powering down your mind and achieving restful sleep:
  1. Begin by taking a look at how much you are currently sleeping on a consistent basis. Write down your bedtime and wake up time for a few days to see how many hours you typically get, remembering that it may be different now than with your usual routine.
  2. Establish consistent bedtimes and wake up times after looking at your results. Keep to this routine even on the weekends, to the best of your ability. Sleeping in or staying up late can affect how you sleep the following week. Especially now with a different structure, it is going to be key to keep your sleep and wake up times consistent. 
  3. Aim to keep your bedroom dark-light may keep you awake.
  4. Power down electronics at least 30 minutes before bedtime-these can stimulate and also may keep you awake. Try to avoid watching the news too before going to sleep.
  5. Keep your room at a relatively cool temp-it is easier to sleep when you are not sweating!
  6. Try not to consume caffeine at night if you know that it keeps you awake. Drink decaf tea, which can have a calming effect.
Try some of these tips and see if your sleeping improves! If you have any other tips, please feel free to send along to me at megan@timelesscrossfit.com!

Emotional Eating Tip #3: Pause
This strategy sounds pretty simple, right? Pause. But it can be challenging to actually do. But I am putting it out there as something to consider if you are experiencing emotional eating or cravings. When this hits, or you find yourself reaching into the refrigerator or cabinet, take a breath and pause. Ask yourself two questions: How am I feeling? and What do I need? Usually, it is not food (but sometimes it is, and that is okay!) Take an inventory of what you are feeling emotionally and determine what you need to help you move through it. Maybe you are lonely or anxious. Maybe you feel angry. Think about what can help you manage those feelings. Maybe it is talking to a friend or taking a hot shower. Maybe it's a walk outside or hanging out with a pet. See what works for you and try to stay out of the kitchen. If you can work through your feelings and sit with the emotion, it will build your resilience and it becomes easier to manage over time. Give it a shot!
