Voyant venir la p\u00e9riode des f\u00eates, je me mets au d\u00e9fi d’aller plus loin qu’\u00e0 ce premier niveau d’identification de l’\u00e9motion. Je remarque alors souvent une cha\u00eene de montage perp\u00e9tuelle, si je n’interviens pas : \u00e9motion de surface, nourriture neutralisante, compulsion, exc\u00e8s de poids, \u00e9motion de surface, nourriture neutralisante, compulsion, exc\u00e8s de poids, etc. Avec les ann\u00e9es, j’ai appris que si je ne change rien, j’obtiendrai les m\u00eames r\u00e9sultats (comme le jour de la marmotte). C’est donc mon choix de continuer ou non de donner ce petit coup sur mes dominos qui enclencheront les m\u00eames effets, que je connais trop bien.<\/p>\n
C’est alors que je respire, que je choisis de tendre la main non pas vers un aliment, mais vers mon \u00e9motion. En lui donnant la parole, je me rends compte qu’une autre voix se fait entendre, sous celle-ci. J’y entends entre autres ceci :<\/p>\n
\u00ab J’ai peur d’\u00e9chouer et de ne pas r\u00e9ussir aussi parfaitement que je le voudrais. \u00bb<\/p>\n
Chaque fois que je tends la main vers un aliment, puis un autre et un autre, dans un moment festif ou pas, j’ai l’impression d’ignorer ce qui se dit vraiment en moi. Heureusement, j’ai toujours une deuxi\u00e8me chance de m’\u00e9couter…<\/p>\n
Pour No\u00ebl, cette ann\u00e9e, je m’offre ce cadeau gratuit d’ouvrir les poup\u00e9es russes, d’\u00e9couter ce qui se trouve sous mon d\u00e9sir d’outremanger, sous mon \u00e9motion de surface, dans l’\u00e9cho de ce qui est exprim\u00e9 au fond de moi. Je saurai m’entendre et me r\u00e9pondre. Comme bonus, je pourrai aussi l’offrir \u00e0 ceux et celles que j’aime.<\/p>\n

On peut apprendre \u00e0 se contr\u00f4ler ou mieux encore, \u00e0 devenir ma\u00eetre de soi, lorsqu’on \u00e9coute en soi. Ces biscuits n’ont que 4 ingr\u00e9dients et sont si simples. La ma\u00eetrise de soi peut \u00eatre tout aussi simple…<\/p>\n

And I’m not the only one. This is not nothing new for anyone. I know myself pretty well and I can become predictable over time. I can anticipate any sign that leads me to reach out to something sweet, salty, or bitter and use it to neutralize anything rising in me. <\/span><\/p>\n Over the years, I have been able to neutralize (attempt only) the various impulses: <\/span><\/p>\n Seeing the upcoming holiday season, I set the challenge to go further than this first level of identification of emotion. I notice then often a perpetual assembly line, if I do not intervene: emotion surfacing, neutralizing food, compulsion, excess weight, emotion surfacing, neutralizing food, compulsion, overweight, etc. Over the years, I learned that if I did not help, I’ll get the same results (as Groundhog Day). So it’s my choice to continue or not to give this little blow on my domino which will initiate the same effects that I know too well. <\/span><\/p>\n At that moment, I breathe, I do not reach out to a chosen food but to my emotion. When emotion takes the floor, I realize that another voice is heard under it. Among other things: \u00ab\u00a0I’m afraid to fail and to not succeed as perfectly as I’d like.\u00a0\u00bb <\/span><\/p>\n Every time I reach for a food, then another and another, in a festive time or not, I have the impression of ignoring what is really said in me. Fortunately, I still have a second chance to listen to me … <\/span><\/p>\n For Christmas this year I offer myself this free gift to open Russian dolls, listen to what is underneath my desire to overeat, under my emotion, in an echo of what is expressed deep inside. I shall hear me and answer me. As a bonus, I can also offer it to those I love. <\/span><\/p>\n ************************************************** ************************** <\/span><\/p>\n One can learn to control themselves or even better, to become master of oneself, when listening in itself.
