YOUR STRESS LEVELS

1. Emotional Eating

The tempo of life is accelerating. We feel tense and stressed at work. Some keep thinking about their jobs at home as well. All these factors influence the way we look and feel mentally and physically. To make our daily routine not so “bitter”, we tend to “sweeten” it with foods. As a rule, the foods we choose to calm down are unhealthy. Crisps, candies, junk food and alcohol make as fatter.

The Solution: Learn to relax and let your brain have a rest. Take a break and meditate. Use a 20-minute guided meditation app and practice it daily. Psychologists claim that such detachment breaks are very beneficial and help to recover in a matter of minutes. Maintain your inner harmony by adjusting your way of thinking. Understand that problems at work and home are part of life, but not the entire life.

2. Your Busy Schedule and Packed Calendar 

A stressful job will inevitably lead to a lack of personal time. The less personal space you have, the more stressful you feel. That’s a vicious circle we all need to break. The most efficient weapon to do so is to adjust your diet and include some exercise in your daily routine. That’s what most of working people fail to do, hence they gain some extra fat.

The Solution: Start with the simplest things: do morning exercises for 5 minutes and listen to your guided meditation app for at least 2 minutes. The best time to practice such things is in the morning. Try and eat 50% of your day’s calories during breakfast. Research shows that this will help you lose twice as much fat as eating the same amount of calories in the afternoon.
