“Kindness is a language the deaf can hear and the blind can see” – Mark Twain

Notice the types of thoughts you are having, are they negative? Are they obsessive? Are they focused primarily on the end game? Isn’t it funny how we kind of thrive off the obsession but then when we seem to be making noticeable progress a part of us withdrawals and suddenly we have an urge to eat a bag of maltesers?

It’s very common for people to have a threshold for “feeling good”. Most of us have spent the majority of our lives working towards a goal and not sitting in the space of having achieved what we set out to achieve. Occasionally we might be feeling so good it’s almost like we can’t take it for long periods of time because it’s so uncomfortable and unfamiliar and this is generally when self-sabotage begins i.e binge eating, excessive drinking, eating food you know you’re intolerant to. Generally these feelings have very complex reasons attached to them and I won’t go into them here. But as a result, we can’t handle our “feel good threshold” because we feel like it’s going to crash down around us at some point so we self-sabotage to get in there before it does to feel in control / safe again. It is here that you need to remind yourself that you now have years of experience and a whole lot of new things in your life that will protect you that you didn’t have before. Try and hang in the space of feeling uncomfortable and learn to breathe into your new life and focus on the experience rather than being in your head and getting controlled by your triggers. Increase your “I can have this” level and allow yourself to feel like you deserve it.

Take the reins and saw as high as you can and stop war-ing on your body.
