Week 2 - checking in

Good morning,

I wanted to check in with you all after the weekend, how has it been? Were there many temptations or are you cruising along through this nicely.

I was listening to an interesting pod on willpower this morning.

The point I took away from it was, our willpower diminishes through the day and can get used up on certain things like restriction.

So as we move forward into our second week, the mental framework to follow a craving could look something like this;

-Having the craving for chocolate-

Noticing this and writing down what emotions you are/ were feeling before the craving,

hunger
Loneliness
Anger
Bored
Upset

Then reframing the situation, it’s not restriction, yes I can have the chocolate, just not yet. (On the pod the guy was saying wait 10 minutes then have it, or a healthy alternative, like the herbal tea, some nuts etc).

And finally, preventing yourself from ending up in a situation, so this could mean having the healthy alternative good to go, as in a little pot of nuts or flask of tea / coffee.
