Ep 43. Struggling with food, work edition
When work is triggering binges
How do you feel whenever you’re faced with:
- an upcoming confrontational convo with your coworker/manager
- an email containing a new project
- asking for PTO
- a ping from someone expecting an update on a project
Any of those things causes me so much anxiety and stress.
Avoiding work with food
In the past I would feel so much distress that I needed to avoid it entirely. And sitting only caused my heart and mind to race even more. So food was something I could actively munch on to take my mind off things. Can you relate?
Tips to manage work stress WITHOUT food
- Do the hard things first. Think about the tasks that you dread the most and see what getting them out of the way first thing does.
- We forget to eat during work. Issue: many hours goes by before you eat. Try making enough space to eat decent, satisfying meals during the workday.
- Maybe work is unfulfilling. Try accepting the situation and focus on what you like. OR what can you do to change your situation?
- Under stress, our body craves more sugar/energy to get through the day. Try getting energy from other sources outside of sweets (a nap, a walk, meditation, etc).
