Isn’t it interesting how when we say no to something, it suddenly becomes more enticing? That’s the topic explored during this episode. As soon as we create a value of something that we shouldn’t have or shouldn’t do, it’s normal for our brain to become even more focused, or sometimes, even obsessed with it.

This is also true when it comes to food. To make it even worse, we as humans have a tendency to place a judgment on ourselves for it. You don’t need to close the door on any food. Leave the door open. Trust your body to know how much of anything it needs.

Topics covered in this episode:

  • How shutting the door on food can lead to an obsession about it.
  • The way we handle cravings in body and mind.
  • Why you don’t need rules around food to manage it.
  • How food rules actually put us in a position of less control, not more.
  • The importance of trusting your body to know what it needs.
  • Why eating something “forbidden” doesn’t guarantee enjoying the experience.
  • How food rules increase critical thoughts about ourselves.
  • How life has a funny way of just taking care of itself.
  • Why the human part of us wants to have control.
  • What your inner knowing—which is always present—offers you.
  • The role self-acceptance plays in just letting things be.
  • Why it’s okay to be “lazy” if you want to be.
