ARTICLES OF NOTE
The Managing Your Feelings habit can help us keep from "feeding" uncomfortable emotions inappropriately. We need to recognize that "there's a positive intention behind every behavior" and that when it comes to emotional eating, we are probably "hungry" for something besides food.
It's just as important to be proactive about avoiding emotional eating, which can be accomplished by filling our lives with self-nuturing pursuits (i.e. practicing the Take Care of Yourself habit). We will spend this week's meeting recognizing and committing to ways we can get the most self-care out of each day.
Have a great week, everyone! I'll see you at your meeting!
