Action Step For Enjoyment

Block out an hour (or a few if you have the time) and plan how you can trigger any of your Feelgood neurochemicals to feel real, price tag-free pleasure. This is not just through what you eat. Doing something like exercise or social to trigger those feelgood neurochemicals can in itself put comfort or stress eating out of a job. How cool is that?

Ideas:

#1 Walk, cycle or even just sit in nature. Turn your phone off.

#2 Have a bath or exercise while listening to something funny or lighthearted. A lot of comedies like Blackadder are now in audiobook format (or try the podcast episode Alzo in the Everything Is Alive podcast here: https://www.everythingisalive.com/episodes/alzo-rental-car)

#3 Time how long it takes you to eat a main meal. Now make a highly nutritious AND tasty meal from scratch. Next, time yourself so you take at least an extra 10 minutes to eat it. No screens while you’re eating.
