Analyzing Emotions and Meeting Emotional Needs
One of the key mindset shifts when cutting sugar is to analyze the emotions and needs underlying cravings. Rather than mindlessly giving into cravings, take a moment to reflect on the emotions experienced and the underlying needs for soothing, reward, comfort, stress relief, or entertainment. By building a toolbox of coping skills that don't involve sugar, such as breathing exercises or mediation, it becomes easier to meet emotional needs in healthier ways and resist cravings.
