3. A Little Food Therapy to Bring Back Joy
Manage episode 437804988 series 3583231
In this episode of the Two-Minute Wellness podcast, I'm sharing a simple, yet transformative exercise I learned in therapy. This exercise played a crucial role in healing my relationship with food and it's something you can easily try at home and apply today.
Several years ago, while I was sitting in my therapist's office, she asked me to look around the room and pick out objects that caught my eye or spoke to me in some way. Then, I was asked to describe why I was drawn to them and what feelings they invoked. This exercise was challenging at first, but it became a pivotal step in my journey toward understanding my emotions and applying this awareness to my eating habits.
By learning to appreciate objects for their intrinsic pleasure, I began to apply the same principle to food, allowing myself to enjoy foods for their taste and the joy they brought, rather than solely for their nutritional value.
In the episode, I'll guide you through this practice, so you too can break free from rigid eating patterns and find a more balanced and joyful relationship with food.
