Nutrition Education: EMOTIONAL ALTERNATIVES
Emotional eating is an unhealthy coping strategy, but it serves a purpose. In order to overcome emotional eating, you need to replace the coping strategy with another, healthier one, or you’ll simply revert back to emotional eating when you’re struggling to cope.
The following is a list of activities that you can try instead.
1. Call a friend or family member.
2. Write a letter or email.
3. Play with a pet.
4. Look at cherished photos or mementos.
5. Listen or dance to your favorite songs.
6. Go for a walk.
7. Squeeze a stress ball.
8. Do some household chores or gardening.
9. Organize or tidy your closet.
10. Take a bath.
11. Light some scented candles.
12. Put on your favorite pajamas.
13. Wrap up in your favorite blanket.
14. Give yourself an indulgent treatment like a manicure, pedicure, or face pack.
15. Write a list of things you’re grateful for that day.
16. Watch your favorite TV show or movie.
17. Lay in the sunshine and relax.
18. Do some stretches or yoga exercises.
19. Meditate or try deep breathing exercises.
20. Read a book or a magazine.
21. Enjoy a hobby like painting, drawing, scrapbooking, or playing an instrument.
