    Coping More Positively With Our emotions and overcoming Comfort Eating

    It's episode128.  
    This week's episode brings to a conclusion my deep dive into the S.H.I.T.E. - My S.H.I.T.E. Guide to dealing with the real causes of our over-eating, over-thinking and struggling to stick to our plans to eat better, move more and get healthier. This week it's the 'E' of the S.H.I.T.E. Guide. Emotions are very powerful when they ride through us and they can be overwhelming. Perhaps you have learned to try to block out or shut down your emotions? Whether you get swept away with them or you shit them down, you are missing the opportunity to see those emotions as valuable and important. In this episode I share how we can reframe our emotional experiences with a view to navigating through them and learning from the, I share my 'Give yourself Emotional C.R.E.D.I.T.' model for more positively managing strong emotions. if you are interested in learning more about this, you can find the full course in the Midlife Reshape Membership - check that out.

    Isolation, Loneliness and Comfort Eating

    Isolation, Loneliness and Comfort Eating

    It's episode126.  
    This week I continue with my S.H.I.T.E. Guide to overcoming over-eating, over-thinking, over-anything; anything that we engage in in an effort to block out, numb, or avoid underlying discomfort, issues or inner-conflicts.
    I explore the 'I' of the S.H.I.T.E. Guide and explore isolation, loneliness and disconnection. As humans, this is a powerful evolved need and one we often dismiss as minor or unimportant. Unless, that is you happen to have experienced it yourself.
    I explore the difference between solitude and isolation and why the former can be positive, whilst the latter can be overwhelmingly negative. I share how this is not just a psychological pain, but how it affects us physically and for good reason. I also share some thoughts and tips on how to start to reconnect and how we can use our physical habits and mindset to bolster our need for social connection when it isn't at its best.

Warm, real talk

Dave’s presentation style is so relaxed and warm, he really draws you in to these helpful, unpretentious, and ultimately life-reshaping conversations that address a pivotal phase of our lives.

Aileen - The Health Heroine ,

PT and health wisdom

Really enjoyed Dave’s conversation with Duncan O’Brien on episode 84 all about embracing exercise for enjoyment and play. Duncs story is another example of someone cutting free from their golden handcuffs to follow their midlife dreams.
