Hunger Pangs

I don’t know about you, but this time of year means all the good foods, so I want to take about the different ways in which hunger can show up.

The first way is through physical hunger. This is true need to eat. It is a bodily cue, just like the need to use the toilet. This is a form of hunger that we should honour and respect. Some signs of physical hunger can be getting headaches, struggling to concentrate and low energy. Don’t ignore these cues as it can cause you to lose touch.

The second way is through taste. This might be the craving for a certain type of food. You can respect this cue by allowing yourself to choose this food without feeling guilty and telling yourself that it isn’t bad to have it.

The third way in which hunger can present itself if through emotions. When we are feeling a certain way food may give us a satisfying feeling. Remember that it is oaky to eat for emotional reasons, but do get to the bottom of why you may be feeling like this.

The final way that we may experience hunger is practically. This means eating food because it is a good idea too even if you don’t experience the physical hunger cues. The reason we do this is to ensure that we do not go too long without eating and to stop us feeling any discomfort.

Do any of these signs resonate with you?

All The Best,

Set The Boundary

Hi there. I hope you are having a good Wednesday.

With me being a firm believer in balance, I want to talk about boundaries in the workplace so that you don’t over do it and cause yourself to feel overwhelmed and burnt out.

How can you ensure that people respect your boundaries in the workplace ?

1. Communicate clearly with co-workers. Let them know what you can and can’t do so that you don’t get too many tasks.

2. Learn to say no. If you can’t do something, don’t feel bad, you are a human and can’t do everything, so say no if it’s too much.

3. Prioritise your workload so that it suits you. Don’t prioritise to suit others unless you have deadlines that really cannot wait.

4. Take time off. Rest and recharge because if you are struggling how can you work to the best of your abilities?

You are responsible for setting and honouring your boundaries. Your boundaries are not up for discussion.

All The Best,
