Episode 7: “I JUST CAN’T” Deal with Stress (without Healthy Coping Skills)!
We are all too familiar with unhealthy coping skills in our own lives and the lives of those we love: overeating, too much alcohol, too many drugs, way too much time escaping life through binge-watching or social media, and lashing out at others, especially those we love and don’t want to hurt. In order to feel better about our lives and ourselves, and to remain in line with what we really want – to create and live a healthy lifestyle – we need to replace our unhealthy coping mechanisms with healthy coping mechanisms. Most of us are tremendously stressed in life with the added stress of the COVID pandemic and recent political chaos. Unhealthy foods and overeating are go-to’s for a lot of people when it comes to finding ways to “feel better” in the short-term, even if it means setting ourselves up for more stress in the long term. In this podcast, you will learn a set of skills to help you in the short term and will extend to your long-term goals of living a healthy lifestyle – not only with food, but in all areas of your life! Here are some links to help you in your journey to your healthiest, best life!
