Cravings

Let’s talk cravings!

While you’re trying to change what and how you eat, you are more than likely going to have cravings. When you feel a craving coming on, don’t push it away. Lean into it and embrace it.

When you lean into and embrace an urge instead of resisting it and trying to push it away with willpower, it will slow down a little bit in your body, and you won’t feel it as strongly as you first did.

Allowing the urge will still feel uncomfortable, but it won’t keep building and getting stronger like a craving you’re trying to resist does. It will most likely just feel irksome. Desire only lasts about 15-20 minutes. Hang in there, keep noticing the craving inside your body, and it will soon be gone.

The Good NEWS: you only need to process around 100 urges before the cravings and desires dissipate and you no longer have the desire.
