It happens.\r\n\r\nThe problem is when we get stuck inside that loop and it can become an endless cycle.\r\n\r\nHave you ever gotten stuck like that? Maybe you\'re stuck right now, and that\'s why you\'re reading this article.\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Why We Get Stuck (in no particular order)</span></strong>\r\n\r\nThese are just a few reasons why people get stuck and feel like they have lost all their motivation.\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Anxiety/Avoidance</span></strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">If you have polarized, black and white, all or nothing sort of thinking, you might avoid an activity that you fear you will not do well enough (fail). The idea of failure is terrifying. Who wants to fail? </span>\r\n\r\n<em><span style=\"color: #000000;\">No one, that\'s who.</span></em>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">The perfection/failure analog produces anxiety, and triggers escape/avoidance tactics that keep you from interacting with the activity. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Find the middle ground. Identify small, very realistic goals that you can safely accomplish to give yourself the evidence you need to see that you are not failing, and that you do NOT need to be perfect.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Depression</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">If you are struggling with depression, even mild depression, one of the ways it shows up is a lack of motivation to do things. There is a distinct lack of enjoyment in things you used to enjoy (this is called anhedonia). Self-care, exercise, being organized, and going out with friends can become very difficult. You might experience very negative thoughts, self-loathing, and sadness. Your eating and sleeping habits might change to various extremes. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">If you find that you cannot get past these symptoms, you should seek care from a mental health professional. Even if a family doctor (or a psychiatrist) gives you an antidepressant, you still need to deal with the depression with a mental health counselor. A counselor can help you work through issues that are underlying the depression.</span>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Unattached to a Goal</span></strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">You might not really know what direction you want to take, so you decide not to do anything at all. This can be related to the escape/avoid anxiety because you might be thinking, \"If I don\'t have it all figured out, then I\'m not going to do anything at all.\" It\'s an all or nothing situation. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">You might feel overwhelmed if you have not narrowed down your goal. It might feel too big and unattainable. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Think about what you want, not what you don\'t want. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">For example, rather than focus on how much you don\'t feel like filing papers, think about how much you want a nice, clean desk. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">(read my blog post about setting attainable goals!)</span>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Remember the Reward</span></strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Whatever the cause (and there are more than what I mentioned here), it takes ACTION to change your circumstances.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">The reward comes after the action is performed.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">In other words, if you wait until you \"feel like it\" to take action, you\'re going to be waiting around for a long time. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Accept that you don\'t \"feel like it\". </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Then do it anyway. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">You won\'t feel the energy and spirit of what you\'re doing until you start to perform the action. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">If it means that you need to get up and be around people to exercise at the gym or attend a social event, remember how glad they will be to see you. Remember that you mean a lot to them!</span>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Choice, Action, Reward!</span></strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Positive, approach behaviors that bring fairly immediate rewards can help you get the wheels turning faster. Cardiovascular exercise is also very good for helping to alleviate symptoms of depression. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">So, know that it\'s OK to not feel like doing anything.....do it anyway and you\'ll feel the reward of taking action!</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">[author] [author_image timthumb=\'on\']http://dianazilly.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/profile-pic-2015.jpg[/author_image] [author_info]by Diana Zilly, MS, MA, LCPC, NBCFCH.

Maybe you will see yourself in some of these examples:</span>\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Automatically getting up to eat in the middle of the night</span></li>\r\n	<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Not being able to stop yourself from eating, even when you are already full</span></li>\r\n	<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Eating for no apparent reason (such as from boredom or stress)</span></li>\r\n	<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Eating portions of food that are too large</span></li>\r\n	<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Craving unhealthy foods because of sugar, fat, grease, etc.</span></li>\r\n	<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Feeling guilty about leaving food on the plate so you eat it anyway</span></li>\r\n	<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Having uncontrollable urges to eat and overeating to the point of gorging yourself</span></li>\r\n	<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Feelings of guilt, self-loathing, disgust, being upset with yourself for having eaten the food that you ate because of food choice, portion, etc.</span></li>\r\n	<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Eating so that you fit in with social expectations and feeling unable to say no or have a good boundary</span></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">This is not a comprehensive list nor is it personalized to you. I am sure that, as you read it, you might relate to some of them, or you might become more aware of your own personal habits. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Each person is unique and has his or her own relationship with food. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Increase Your Awareness</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">You cannot solve a problem when you do not know what it is.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Most of the time, when I work with clients on emotional eating habits, they already feel very overwhelmed by the problem and do not know where to begin.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Here are two ideas that you can use and adapt to help you raise your awareness of your habits:</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>1) Spy on yourself</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Pick one thing that you can handle examining in a short term, very immediate way. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Maybe it\'s breakfast, or a snack time, or a situation such as being on the phone (a time when people mindlessly multitask). </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Perhaps it\'s a time of day, a time at work, a meeting where there are always donuts.....</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Maybe it\'s at night, when you\'re eating after dinner is done and you don\'t know why you\'re eating</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Keep a notepad or type notes into your smart phone. Just raise your awareness of what you are thinking and feeling. Ask yourself, \"What do I feel?\" </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Do not judge your thoughts and emotions. Simply become aware of them. Once you become aware of them, you can find out what need you are trying to fill with food. </span>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">2) Physical Environment Changes</span></strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Making changes in your physical environment will help raise your awareness about your present experience.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Have you ever driven someone else\'s car? You notice right away that you might have to adjust the seat, the mirrors, and you reach for the gear shift in the wrong place! </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">The same thing happens when you change food-related visual and situation cues:</span>\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Change your plate size (eat off a smaller plate, or a really huge plate) You\'ll either notice how limited you are in your food portions, or how absurdly large your portions would have to be to full the giant serving platter. It will make you question the amount of food you put on your plate.</span></li>\r\n	<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Sit in a different chair! When you sit in a different place at the table, you will notice how you see the room differently. The view won\'t be the same. In fact, bring a completely different chair to the table (maybe with your small or giant plate, too). Can you imagine sitting on a folding chair or a step stool while you eat? That would change things a lot. It will interrupt the silent mental map that you have of \"eating\" and you will be able to leave the autopilot mode and be more mindful of your eating. </span></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Take these ideas and make them your own. Just start raising your awareness of your eating patterns so that you can start to understand yourself better. Once you become aware of a problem, take note of your thoughts, feelings, and needs. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Once you know what you need, meet that need authentically. The only need that food actually meets is to refuel the body. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Keep reading the blog for more ideas about awareness and interventions that you will be able to use to stop emotional eating.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Thanks for reading!</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Diana</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">[author] [author_image timthumb=\'on\']http://dianazilly.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/dianazilly.jpg[/author_image] [author_info]by Diana Zilly, MS, MA, LCPC, NBCFCH.  Diana is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, Fellow in Clinical Hypnotherapy, and Adjunct Professor of Psychology at Joliet Junior College.

Maybe you will see yourself in some of these examples:</span>\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Automatically getting up to eat in the middle of the night</span></li>\r\n	<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Not being able to stop yourself from eating, even when you are already full</span></li>\r\n	<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Eating for no apparent reason (such as from boredom or stress)</span></li>\r\n	<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Eating portions of food that are too large</span></li>\r\n	<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Craving unhealthy foods because of sugar, fat, grease, etc.</span></li>\r\n	<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Feeling guilty about leaving food on the plate so you eat it anyway</span></li>\r\n	<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Having uncontrollable urges to eat and overeating to the point of gorging yourself</span></li>\r\n	<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Feelings of guilt, self-loathing, disgust, being upset with yourself for having eaten the food that you ate because of food choice, portion, etc.</span></li>\r\n	<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Eating so that you fit in with social expectations and feeling unable to say no or have a good boundary</span></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">This is not a comprehensive list nor is it personalized to you. I am sure that, as you read it, you might relate to some of them, or you might become more aware of your own personal habits. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Each person is unique and has his or her own relationship with food. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Increase Your Awareness</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">You cannot solve a problem when you do not know what it is.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Most of the time, when I work with clients on emotional eating habits, they already feel very overwhelmed by the problem and do not know where to begin.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Here are two ideas that you can use and adapt to help you raise your awareness of your habits:</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>1) Spy on yourself</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Pick one thing that you can handle examining in a short term, very immediate way. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Maybe it\'s breakfast, or a snack time, or a situation such as being on the phone (a time when people mindlessly multitask). </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Perhaps it\'s a time of day, a time at work, a meeting where there are always donuts.....</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Maybe it\'s at night, when you\'re eating after dinner, and you don\'t know why you\'re eating...</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Keep a notepad or type notes into your smart phone. Just raise your awareness of what you are thinking and feeling. Ask yourself, \"What do I feel?\" </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Do not judge your thoughts and emotions. Simply become aware of them. Once you become aware of them, you can find out what need you are trying to fill with food. </span>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">2) Physical Environment Changes</span></strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Making changes in your physical environment will help raise your awareness about your present experience.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Have you ever driven someone else\'s car? You notice right away that you might have to adjust the seat, the mirrors, and you reach for the gear shift in the wrong place! </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">The same thing happens when you change food-related visual and situation cues:</span>\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Change your plate size (eat off a smaller plate, or a really huge plate) You\'ll either notice how limited you are in your food portions, or how absurdly large your portions would have to be to full the giant serving platter. It will make you question the amount of food you put on your plate.</span></li>\r\n	<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Sit in a different chair! When you sit in a different place at the table, you will notice how you see the room differently. The view won\'t be the same. In fact, bring a completely different chair to the table (maybe with your small or giant plate, too). Can you imagine sitting on a folding chair or a step stool while you eat? That would change things a lot. It will interrupt the silent mental map that you have of \"eating\" and you will be able to leave the autopilot mode and be more mindful of your eating. </span></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Take these ideas and make them your own. Just start raising your awareness of your eating patterns so that you can start to understand yourself better. Once you become aware of a problem, take note of your thoughts, feelings, and needs. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Once you know what you need, meet that need authentically. The only need that food actually meets is to refuel the body. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Keep reading the blog for more ideas about awareness and interventions that you will be able to use to stop emotional eating.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Thanks for reading!</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Diana</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">[author] [author_image timthumb=\'on\']http://dianazilly.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/dianazilly.jpg[/author_image] [author_info]by Diana Zilly, MS, MA, LCPC, NBCFCH.  Diana is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, Fellow in Clinical Hypnotherapy, and Adjunct Professor of Psychology at Joliet Junior College.

How do you understand that statement? Where does your brain go with that? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">If it\'s overwhelming, it will probably freak you out on some level, scare you off, and you will go \"avoid\" rather than \"approach\". </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">When you make a goal, define and operationalize it. Make it very specific and measurable. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><span style=\"color: #000000; text-decoration: underline;\">Here are some examples:</span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">\"I\'m am eating eating salad for lunch today.\"</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">\"I am exercising for 20 minutes on the treadmill today.\"</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">\"I am cleaning up the pile of papers on my desk today.\"</span>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">2) Stay on today</span></strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Our lives happen from one breath to the next. Stay in the breath of today. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Make a goal that you can accomplish today. Make it something that you can actually do TODAY so that you can get the reward of accomplishment. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Most importantly....<strong>HERE IT IS.....KEEP READING......THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT.....</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">You will create the evidence that you need to see in your life to show yourself that YES you really CAN DO IT.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">You have probably spent years and years doing what you don\'t want to be doing. There are piles and piles of evidence from the years gone by that are in your face telling you that you can\'t do it.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Making tiny, approach-based goals that you can do today are going to show you the EVIDENCE that YOU NEED that YES YOU CAN DO IT.</span>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">3) Keep it simple </span></strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Just pick one thing.

Right now. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">The lie of \"I\'ll start tomorrow\" is an avoidance tactic that takes you away from the anxious or negative thoughts you might have, such as:</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> \"It\'s going to be too difficult.\" </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">\"I\'ll probably fail anyway.\"</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">\"I\'m too far gone....it\'s just not worth it.\"</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">\"I\'m not worth it.\"</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">\"The others think I will fail. What if they are right?\"</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">\"No one else is with me on this. I don\'t want to be alone.\"</span>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">What to do instead</span></strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">First of all, start with the here and now. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">When you think about the idea of never eating your favorite food again, or limiting yourself from eating a comfort food that has been your best friend, that can become too overwhelming and scary.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ways to make it more manageable:</span>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">1) Decide and Discover</span></strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Decide on the amount of the food and if you cannot stick to it, or anticipate failure, spend some time thinking about the emotions and negative thoughts that are coming up in your mind and body. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Discover what your true needs are so that you can think of ways to meet them. Ask yourself how you feel and what you think (Am I lonely? bored? sad? hurt? unworthy? .....or other things...?)</span>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">2) Have a Plan</span></strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">When we remove one thing, we need to replace it with another thing. No one wants a crutch replacement. You will want to replace an emotional food with an activity (if you are not hungry) or healthy food (if you are hungry). Pick something that actually meets your needs. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">When in doubt, sit it out. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Wait, think, choose. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Make a plan for yourself. </span>\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Change your physical environment (walk away from the kitchen, for example, and go take the dog for a walk). </span></li>\r\n	<li><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Talk to a supportive friend </span></strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">(everyone needs support)</span></li>\r\n	<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Get busy with a hobby or even just closet cleaning</span></li>\r\n	<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Make a list of things that you can do so when you are at a loose end, you can read the list and pick something.</span></li>\r\n	<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Music: a song that serves as your personal anthem of success will help you get back on track and remember why you are making the effort.</span></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">3. Reflect</span></strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">This is a learning experience, not an event. Your mind and body need time to learn, accommodate for new knowledge, and assimilate it into an understanding of yourself and the mental map of how you live your life. Think about how you felt, and reflect on what you learned. Also, realize that you survived the discomfort of change. </span>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">You might even learn that it actually felt great to conquer that fear and move forward!</span></p>\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">[author] [author_image timthumb=\'on\']http://dianazilly.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/dianazilly.jpg[/author_image] [author_info]by Diana Zilly, MS, MA, LCPC, NBCFCH.  Diana is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, Fellow in Clinical Hypnotherapy, and Adjunct Professor of Psychology at Joliet Junior College.

Through martial arts, I discovered a system of personal growth that put words to everything I felt inside me. In TaeKwonDo, there are tenets such as perseverance and indomitable spirit that captured the spirit of what I had been doing as a 24/7 single parent, raising my girls, working, going to school, and working toward a career. In martial arts, I worked toward belt ranks, learning different forms and board breaks. I pushed and persevered, kept going, kept getting up again, staying focused on my goals.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Failure was simply <em>not</em> an option. I told myself that every day.</span>\r\n\r\n<strong><em><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Prevail</span></em></strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Now, I am inspired to sum up the fiery passion and persistence that has burned within me by saying:</span>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em><strong>Live Fiercely</strong></em></span></p>\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">To me, living fiercely means that I always find a way to accomplish something. I use intellect to gain perspective. I see options and weigh choices. I become aware of fear but use wisdom to reason with the fear. Living fiercely does not mean rushing blindly into foolish choices. It means pushing past the natural fear (which we all have) when I sense the unknown, and when I can\'t control the outcome. It means believing in myself, and in what my heart tells me to do. It means following my purpose in life. It means making the sacrifices to achieve my goals. It means acting boldly, making choices based on courage not fear. It means trusting myself that I will ALWAYS have indomitable spirit. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">And so it is that I bid you to also <em><strong>live fiercely. </strong></em></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Take hold of your goals and ask yourself what you are willing to do to achieve them. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">What values will you apply to motivate yourself to get up, and work toward what you want to achieve? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">At the end of your life, do you want to look back and say, \"I was afraid so I stayed where I was,\" or do you want to say, \"I was afraid, and I did it anyway, and I was so glad I did!\" </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">This is not about being perfect. This is about living your life rather than watching it go past you.

Growing up, I only learned about things like trust, honesty, respect, and mostly just being told to obey my parents and teachers. I was taught to not make waves, and do what I was told. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">And I did. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">And then I grew up.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Being my own person</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">I learned what it meant to be my own person. Through martial arts, I discovered a system of personal growth that put words to everything I felt inside me. In TaeKwonDo, there are tenets such as perseverance and indomitable spirit that captured the spirit of what I had been doing as a 24/7 single parent, raising my girls, working, going to school, and working toward a career. In martial arts, I worked toward belt ranks, learning different forms and board breaks. I pushed and persevered, kept going, kept getting up again, staying focused on my goals.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Failure was simply <em>not</em> an option. I told myself that every day.</span>\r\n\r\n<strong><em><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Prevail</span></em></strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Now, I am inspired to sum up the fiery passion and persistence that has burned within me by saying:</span>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em><strong>Live Fiercely</strong></em></span></p>\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">To me, living fiercely means that I always find a way to accomplish something. I use intellect to gain perspective. I see options and weigh choices. I become aware of fear but use wisdom to reason with the fear. Living fiercely does not mean rushing blindly into foolish choices. It means pushing past the natural fear (which we all have) when I sense the unknown, and when I can\'t control the outcome. It means believing in myself, and in what my heart tells me to do. It means following my purpose in life. It means making the sacrifices to achieve my goals. It means acting boldly, making choices based on courage not fear. It means trusting myself that I will ALWAYS have indomitable spirit. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">And so it is that I bid you to also <em><strong>live fiercely. </strong></em></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Take hold of your goals and ask yourself what you are willing to do to achieve them. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">What values will you apply to motivate yourself to get up, and work toward what you want to achieve? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">At the end of your life, do you want to look back and say, \"I was afraid so I stayed where I was,\" or do you want to say, \"I was afraid, and I did it anyway, and I was so glad I did!\" </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">This is not about being perfect. This is about living your life rather than watching it go past you. This is about moving around in your life rather than being stuck. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">This is about being able to follow what is in your heart rather than following the negative programming that may have been holding you captive for years.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">If you struggle with fear and anxiety, get set up with some counseling (shameless plug for my therapy services!) </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">This is your life, and you\'re worth it. <em>Live fiercely!</em></span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">[author] [author_image timthumb=\'on\']http://dianazilly.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/dianazilly.jpg[/author_image] [author_info]by Diana Zilly, MS, MA, LCPC, NBCFCH.

#000000;\">Procrastination can come from all sorts of different reasons, such as perfectionism, boredom, and feeling overwhelmed. Sometimes we procrastinate because we just don\'t know where to start with a project that\'s too big. Other times, stress can get in the way of being able to think straight and get organized. People who worry about being perfect sometimes don\'t want to start a project if they think they can\'t do it 100% perfectly. There is a fear of failure because perfection does not really exist. If it does, it\'s fleeting.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">If you are caught up in negative emotions, you aren\'t connecting with the true purpose and meaning of why you need to compete your task. For example, if you are sitting around thinking \"I hate doing my taxes,\" then you are forgetting about the reward that will come when you complete them. Either you will be happy about getting your refund, or you will be relieved to get the chore done, and pay whatever you need to pay. Think about the relief you will feel. Think about the time you will have to do other things. If you wait until you feel like doing something, such as your taxes, they will never get done because you will probably never feel like doing them. You will probably end up stressed and in a panic because of the last minute tax preparation scramble. Think \"reward\" instead. In fact, you can even plan a material reward, such as going out to dinner, to jolly yourself along.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">If you worry about making mistakes, or you feel overwhelmed and stressed, Diana can help you learn how to approach situations differently so that you can achieve your goals. It\'s all about learning to take committed action based on your values. Let Diana teach you how to tame the procrastination monster and get back on track with your life.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">[author] [author_image timthumb=\'on\']http://dianazilly.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/dianazilly.jpg[/author_image] [author_info]by Diana Zilly, MS, MA, LCPC, NBCFCH.  Diana is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, Fellow in Clinical Hypnotherapy, and Adjunct Professor of Psychology at Joliet Junior College.

It happens.\r\n\r\nThe problem is when we get stuck inside that loop and it can become an endless cycle.\r\n\r\nHave you ever gotten stuck like that? Maybe you\'re stuck right now, and that\'s why you\'re reading this article.\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Why We Get Stuck (in no particular order)</span></strong>\r\n\r\nThese are just a few reasons why people get stuck and feel like they have lost all their motivation.\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Anxiety/Avoidance</span></strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">If you have polarized, black and white, all or nothing sort of thinking, you might avoid an activity that you fear you will not do well enough (fail).

There is a distinct lack of enjoyment in things you used to enjoy (this is called anhedonia). Self-care, exercise, being organized, and going out with friends can become very difficult. You might experience very negative thoughts, self-loathing, and sadness. Your eating and sleeping habits might change to various extremes. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">If you find that you cannot get past these symptoms, you should seek care from a mental health professional. Even if a family doctor (or a psychiatrist) gives you an antidepressant, you still need to deal with the depression with a mental health counselor.

Who wants to fail? </span>\r\n\r\n<em><span style=\"color: #000000;\">No one, that\'s who.</span></em>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">The perfection/failure analog produces anxiety, and triggers escape/avoidance tactics that keep you from interacting with the activity. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Find the middle ground. Identify small, very realistic goals that you can safely accomplish to give yourself the evidence you need to see that you are not failing, and that you do NOT need to be perfect.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Depression</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">If you are struggling with depression, even mild depression, one of the ways it shows up is a lack of motivation to do things. There is a distinct lack of enjoyment in things you used to enjoy (this is called anhedonia). Self-care, exercise, being organized, and going out with friends can become very difficult. You might experience very negative thoughts, self-loathing, and sadness. Your eating and sleeping habits might change to various extremes. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">If you find that you cannot get past these symptoms, you should seek care from a mental health professional. Even if a family doctor (or a psychiatrist) gives you an antidepressant, you still need to deal with the depression with a mental health counselor. A counselor can help you work through issues that are underlying the depression.</span>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Unattached to a Goal</span></strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">You might not really know what direction you want to take, so you decide not to do anything at all. This can be related to the escape/avoid anxiety because you might be thinking, \"If I don\'t have it all figured out, then I\'m not going to do anything at all.\" It\'s an all or nothing situation. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">You might feel overwhelmed if you have not narrowed down your goal. It might feel too big and unattainable. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Think about what you want, not what you don\'t want. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">For example, rather than focus on how much you don\'t feel like filing papers, think about how much you want a nice, clean desk. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">(read my blog post about setting attainable goals!)</span>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Remember the Reward</span></strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Whatever the cause (and there are more than what I mentioned here), it takes ACTION to change your circumstances.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">The reward comes after the action is performed.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">In other words, if you wait until you \"feel like it\" to take action, you\'re going to be waiting around for a long time. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Accept that you don\'t \"feel like it\". </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Then do it anyway. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">You won\'t feel the energy and spirit of what you\'re doing until you start to perform the action. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">If it means that you need to get up and be around people to exercise at the gym or attend a social event, remember how glad they will be to see you.

You might be one of those people, or know someone who is struggling with it. We all know that soda pop is really bad for us. It\'s extremely unhealthy, even the diet soda. It\'s really just crap. </span>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Why is it so difficult to quit?</span></strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Aside from the fact that sugar is like crack and has addictive qualities, there is also the whole mental game of why it\'s hard to stop drinking pop (which is where I come in pretty handy....)</span>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The Slippery Slope</span></strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Maybe you\'ve been riding down the slippery slope of \"I\'ll quit tomorrow\" with a soda in one hand. Tomorrow never comes. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">In order to get off the slippery slope and stand on firm ground, you have to dig a little deeper and really find out why you are not willing to give up the soda. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Here are some reasons that I have heard over the years:</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">1) I don\'t like to drink water</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">2) I like it and I don\'t really want to quit completely</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">3) I don\'t know what to drink instead</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">4) Everyone else at home drinks pop and it will be too hard for me to quit</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">5) I tried quitting before and it just didn\'t work out</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">6) I don\'t like the withdrawals</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">7) There\'s no point.

Even if someone talked you into quitting, and you\'re doing it as a bet, contest, or you need an accountability partner, ultimately you will need to carry forward on your own when those circumstances change. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">This is your journey. Your body. Your goal. OWN IT. You can\'t put the control into someone else\'s hands and expect this to work out. You have to do it for yourself because you want to be healthy.</span>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Decide</span></strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">You have to decide very specifically about your plan and how you will act on it. You must plan the way that you will handle the physical withdrawal from the caffeine, sugar, and other chemicals that are in your drink. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Whether you go cold turkey or cut down, ultimately the day will arrive when you will no longer buy soda.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">You must have a plan to deal with the emotional urges when you miss your familiar friend. </span>\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Develop a new palate, and start drinking water. If you do not like water, then put some real lemon juice in your water (DO NOT PUT ARTIFICIAL FLAVORING CRAP IN YOUR WATER)</span></li>\r\n	<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Face the urge. You can deal with any emotion that comes your way. It is survivable. YOU CAN DO THIS.</span></li>\r\n	<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Have a plan on how you are going to redirect yourself when the urge to drink soda comes your way. Walk outdoors. Be active. Enjoy someone\'s company. Go walk your dog. Clean the closet. Phone a friend. Journal your thoughts and emotions. </span></li>\r\n	<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Do not eat foods that trigger your urge to drink soda until you have developed a strong habit of drinking water. </span></li>\r\n	<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Stop</span> thinking about the fact that you have given up soda and <strong>start reminding yourself that you are now a healthy person who drinks water.</strong></span></li>\r\n	<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">PERSONAL MANTRA: Say something positive to yourself that reminds you of all the gains you are getting from your new healthy habit. Latch onto your goal. Find an encouraging quote that you like to help you stay on track, and keep it handy throughout the day. </span></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Emotional Eating/Trauma/Anxiety</span></strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">I\'ve worked with clients who have food and soda addictions due to it being their way of coping with trauma. Remember, food and drink are the first ways that we seek autonomy as babies, and it is part of our instinctive, hard-wiring. Don\'t be ashamed. Just get professional help. Go to counseling. Once you start processing the trauma, or other emotional upsets, then you will be able to start dealing with the food/drink issues. </span>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Commit</span></strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">If you are taking a wait-and-see-if-this-works-this-time approach, then you are going to be waiting around for a very long time. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">You must commit. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">When you say, \"I\'ll try\", you\'re leaving the door open to failure. </span>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">You must slam the door on failure.</span></strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Failure is not an option. Who wants to be a failure?</span>\r\n\r\n<em><span style=\"color: #000000;\">No one, that\'s who. </span></em>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">See yourself as a person who is excited to be energized and healthy. Have a party with yourself. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Envision yourself each day being healthy. If other people are not supportive, then call me up and I\'ll be thrilled to tell you how awesome you are.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Friends and family who are not quitting pop with you will see how well you\'re doing, and then they\'ll be more likely to give it up, too. It\'s each person\'s journey, and you have to meet them where they are. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">All you need is to focus on yourself and your personal journey of health and wellness. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Be awesome. Dump out that last pop and tell yourself you\'re done, and get a plan together to really be done!!!!</span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">[author] [author_image timthumb=\'on\']http://dianazilly.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/profile-pic-2015.jpg[/author_image] [author_info]by Diana Zilly, MS, MA, LCPC, NBCFCH.

Journal your thoughts and emotions. </span></li>\r\n	<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Do not eat foods that trigger your urge to drink soda until you have developed a strong habit of drinking water. </span></li>\r\n	<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Stop</span> thinking about the fact that you have given up soda and <strong>start reminding yourself that you are now a healthy person who drinks water.</strong></span></li>\r\n	<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">PERSONAL MANTRA: Say something positive to yourself that reminds you of all the gains you are getting from your new healthy habit. Latch onto your goal. Find an encouraging quote that you like to help you stay on track, and keep it handy throughout the day. </span></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Emotional Eating/Trauma/Anxiety</span></strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">I\'ve worked with clients who have food and soda addictions due to it being their way of coping with trauma. Remember, food and drink are the first ways that we seek autonomy as babies, and it is part of our instinctive, hard-wiring. Don\'t be ashamed. Just get professional help. Go to counseling. Once you start processing the trauma, or other emotional upsets, then you will be able to start dealing with the food/drink issues. </span>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Commit</span></strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">If you are taking a wait-and-see-if-this-works-this-time approach, then you are going to be waiting around for a very long time. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">You must commit. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">When you say, \"I\'ll try\", you\'re leaving the door open to failure. </span>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">You must slam the door on failure.</span></strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Failure is not an option. Who wants to be a failure?</span>\r\n\r\n<em><span style=\"color: #000000;\">No one, that\'s who. </span></em>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">See yourself as a person who is excited to be energized and healthy. Have a party with yourself. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Envision yourself each day being healthy. If other people are not supportive, then call me up and I\'ll be thrilled to tell you how awesome you are.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Friends and family who are not quitting pop with you will see how well you\'re doing, and then they\'ll be more likely to give it up, too. It\'s each person\'s journey, and you have to meet them where they are. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">All you need is to focus on yourself and your personal journey of health and wellness. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Be awesome. Dump out that last pop and tell yourself you\'re done, and get a plan together to really be done!!!!</span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">[author] [author_image timthumb=\'on\']http://dianazilly.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/dianazilly.jpg[/author_image] [author_info]by Diana Zilly, MS, MA, LCPC, NBCFCH.

#000000;\">Anticipated Deprivation</span></strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">When you think about changing your eating habits, that\'s usually a time when you think about missing out on your favorite foods. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">It can be really hard to let go of a favorite food when you know that you\'re going to miss it, even when you know you\'re better off for giving it up. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">The idea of giving up a food can bring about feelings of what I call \"anticipated deprivation\"....the thoughts, feelings, and reactions surrounding how you predict you will feel when you don\'t have that favorite food anymore. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">The deprivation can even be about your relationships and how you will cope with social occasions, or wondering how other people will react to your changes. </span>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">What Can You Do?</span></strong>\r\n\r\n<em><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Remember You Have Choices</span></strong></em>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">The concerns that you have about anticipated deprivation are normal and real. However, you can also imagine other thoughts, feelings, and reactions that you can have. You can also imagine other people\'s reactions differently. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Imagine choices are like furniture in a room. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Imagine that one chair represents the negative, worrisome thoughts that you\'re having. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">You\'re staring at the chair, and your back is turned to all the other furniture in the room. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">The other furniture represents the other thoughts, feelings, and reactions that you can have. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Even though you are staring at the negative chair, the other chairs and furniture still exist. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Just like the chairs, you have a room full of other thoughts, feelings, and reactions available to you. </span>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Turn Around and Look </span></strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Take some time to meditate and consider some of the other thoughts, feelings, and reactions that you can have that might be more neutral, or even more positive. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Even if you can\'t imagine a believable positive option, then look for the middle....a more balanced approach. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">It\'s OK if you can\'t believe positive things yet because you\'ve had too much evidence to the contrary...to negative things. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Finding the middle can mean something like telling yourself, \"Even though I might feel a bit anxious, I can handle my emotions and find a way to deal with it.\" </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Have some options available for when you get a strong reaction to missing a food so that you have some planned \"go-to\" ways of coping, such as calling a friend, taking a walk, cleaning a closet, or doing something fun (a hobby or enjoying nature). </span>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Other People\'s Comments</span></strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">It\'s really normal to worry about how to deal with other people\'s comments that can be very unsupportive and even destructive. Just remember that there can be other outcomes, and you have choices about how you can respond. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">When it comes to other people\'s comments or lack of support, you can plan some responses that can help neutralize the interaction and turn the conversation to other topics. Imagine and rehearse things you can say that will help you just steer the conversation. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Simple comments such as \"Thank you for noticing\" and then pay the person a compliment and ask them an open ended question (maybe about their job, family, or hobby). </span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">[author] [author_image timthumb=\'on\']http://dianazilly.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/dianazilly.jpg[/author_image] [author_info]by Diana Zilly, MS, MA, LCPC, NBCFCH.

It\'s all around us. Everyone experiences some type of risk or uncertainty on a daily basis, whether it\'s wondering if the day is going to go as planned, worrying about the kids coming home safely, or hoping that a loved one stays in your life rather than dealing with the pain of a break up.</span>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Why is it hard to deal with uncertainty?</span></strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">As human beings, we are naturally wired to want connection, attachment, and safety. Our big human brains watch out for harm, and search to organize how we understand our lives in order to feel safe. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">You have probably heard of \"the comfort zone\". You probably have one! The problem is that the comfort zone is not so comfortable. It\'s usually a place that is uncomfortable yet familiar. As human beings, we like \"familiar\". It feels safe because it is predictable. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Personal growth is usually uncomfortable and comes from a place of uncertainty. It can require the release of old ways of thinking and feeling, and old ways of how a person once understood the world around him. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">The process of change is normally accompanied by the fear of the unknown. There is a sense of empty space that must be filled by something, which is often quickly occupied by self-doubt, fear of failure, fear of discomfort or pain, and even of sense of loss over what one used to think was right....where all the answers once lived.</span>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">How to Cope....Where are the Answers?</span></strong>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">A New Template</span></strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">A template, in this context, is a mental map of understanding and organizing the self and its surroundings. Basically, your world view and how you think about your sense of self, your values, your relationships, and how you find meaning in your life. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">You cannot use an old template that came from old ways of thinking in order to emerge into healthier habits and patterns. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Your new template must contain the map of where you are now, and the things that you are learning about yourself. It must contain the things that you have come to know about yourself, such as your values. These values may include (for example) health, wellness, responsibility, trust, and self-actualization. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Self-actualization is the process of becoming your own true self, and living to your own fullest potential. It means that you can start to trust yourself about certain areas of your own personal health and well-being, and continue to build upon that. </span>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Using the Open Hand</span></strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">In Buddhism, there is the practice of the Open Hand in which one understands that the hand must be open to both give and receive. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Know that as you process your uncertainty, the release of the old template that contained your doubts, fears, and negativity will make space for your ability to receive the joy, happiness, and peace of mind that comes from using the new, healthier template. </span>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">AND.....in that process......what you can trust is that your hands are always there to release and receive.  </span></strong>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">You are always with yourself in your own journey of growth.</span></strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Each person is responsible for healing himself, even when the hurts from the past may have been caused by others. </span>\r\n\r\n<em><span style=\"color: #000000;\">No one can heal another person. </span></em>\r\n\r\n<em><span style=\"color: #000000;\">It is the love and support that we provide to each other that gives us the strength to move forward with courage and become whole.</span></em>\r\n\r\nT<span style=\"color: #000000;\">he answers will come in their own time. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Stay with your breath. Stay with yourself. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Place your trust in the only things you really have control over, which are your thoughts, emotions, words, and actions. </span>\r\n\r\n<em><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Namaste</span></em>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">[author] [author_image timthumb=\'on\']http://dianazilly.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/dianazilly.jpg[/author_image] [author_info]by Diana Zilly, MS, MA, LCPC, NBCFCH.

It\'s usually one of the first things that people want to quit when they are working on weight loss and emotional eating goals. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">A common thread among most evening snackers is that the person feels an URGE to eat. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">What causes this urge, you ask? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Let me share....</span>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Classical Conditioning</span></strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">In classical conditioning, a neutral thing become paired with a naturally occurring stimulus/response set to the point where the neutral thing is no longer neutral but carries the power of the stimulus....and the stimulus no longer needs to be present.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">WHAT? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">OK, so this is like when a dog hears you go into the kitchen and he immediately gets excited because he thinks he\'s going to get food, only the food has not yet made an appearance.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">The dog naturally reacts to food. Food is the stimulus. The kitchen was neutral until the dog learned that his food comes from the mysterious place that the humans always go to after dinner to get snacks.....</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Now, the dog associates anything going on in the kitchen with food.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">You experience the same thing when you sit down on the couch to watch television in the evening. The couch and television were once neutral until you started to pair them with the pleasure that you get from eating snacks. Now, each time you sit down on the couch to watch tv in the evening, you want snacks. </span>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Patterns of the Past\r\n</span></strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">I\'ve often heard people talk about the patterns of eating that they acquired in their family of origin, or throughout the course of a marriage. People bond socially over food, and food is often a language of love and comfort. It can also be a source of guilt if one chooses not to join the other person in their eating (peer pressure). I\'m only scratching the surface here, but you get the idea. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">There are also patterns that form just from visual cues, situations, other people, the environment (such as being in the living room sitting on the couch). </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Breaking an eating habit such as evening snacking requires changes in these cues, such as sitting in a different place in the room, or not watching television but finding other things to do....spy on yourself and see what changes you can make in order to break the patterns of these cues.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Also, think about the social and emotional bonds that you might have formed over food. I\'ve heard of people choosing to play a game of cards or walk the dog rather than eat snacks. They are still bonding socially, just not bonding over food.</span>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Eating Emotions</span></strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">If you are a person who, as they read this, thinks, \"No, the urge to eat is much stronger than that, to the point where it\'s uncontrollable,\" then you may be dealing with some other issues more related to anxiety. If you have read other articles on this website, you might recall reading about how food is one of the very first ways that we seek autonomy as an infant. You are driven on a primal level to eat, and to have control over the physical process of eating. You put the food into your own mouth. That\'s control. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">In the experience of anxiety, one feels a need to control in order to feel safe. If a person is experiencing binge eating, there is most likely a trauma history (neglect, abuse, etc.) and also anxiety. This is treatable and you can get better. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">A lot of times people binge eat in the evening when the house is quiet and they are in bed, alone with their thoughts. Sometimes the urge wakes them up after a short period of sleep, or in the shower. These are times when the anxiety sneaks up and demands control, triggering an eating response. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">A person might binge eat when they are bored, or when no one is around. A person does not have to be doing binge/purge (when the person makes himself vomit). Many times, people binge and do not purge. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Theses are only a couple of reasons why people snack in the evening. If you are struggling with this issue, just start out by taking note of your thoughts, emotions, physical sensations, and the intensity of the urge. It will help you to build awareness of the issue so that you can choose the next step, whether it is setting up a different evening routine, or getting help from a mental health professional (like me!)</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">[author] [author_image timthumb=\'on\']http://dianazilly.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/profile-pic-2015.jpg[/author_image] [author_info]by Diana Zilly, MS, MA, LCPC, NBCFCH.

I\'m only scratching the surface here, but you get the idea. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">There are also patterns that form just from visual cues, situations, other people, the environment (such as being in the living room sitting on the couch). </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Breaking an eating habit such as evening snacking requires changes in these cues, such as sitting in a different place in the room, or not watching television but finding other things to do....spy on yourself and see what changes you can make in order to break the patterns of these cues.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Also, think about the social and emotional bonds that you might have formed over food. I\'ve heard of people choosing to play a game of cards or walk the dog rather than eat snacks. They are still bonding socially, just not bonding over food.</span>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Eating Emotions</span></strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">If you are a person who, as they read this, thinks, \"No, the urge to eat is much stronger than that, to the point where it\'s uncontrollable,\" then you may be dealing with some other issues more related to anxiety. If you have read other articles on this website, you might recall reading about how food is one of the very first ways that we seek autonomy as an infant. You are driven on a primal level to eat, and to have control over the physical process of eating. You put the food into your own mouth. That\'s control. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">In the experience of anxiety, one feels a need to control in order to feel safe. If a person is experiencing binge eating, there is most likely a trauma history (neglect, abuse, etc.) and also anxiety. This is treatable and you can get better. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">A lot of times people binge eat in the evening when the house is quiet and they are in bed, alone with their thoughts. Sometimes the urge wakes them up after a short period of sleep, or in the shower. These are times when the anxiety sneaks up and demands control, triggering an eating response. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">A person might binge eat when they are bored, or when no one is around. A person does not have to be doing binge/purge (when the person makes himself vomit). Many times, people binge and do not purge. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Theses are only a couple of reasons why people snack in the evening. If you are struggling with this issue, just start out by taking note of your thoughts, emotions, physical sensations, and the intensity of the urge. It will help you to build awareness of the issue so that you can choose the next step, whether it is setting up a different evening routine, or getting help from a mental health professional (like me!)</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">[author] [author_image timthumb=\'on\']http://dianazilly.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/dianazilly.jpg[/author_image] [author_info]by Diana Zilly, MS, MA, LCPC, NBCFCH.

It\'s usually one of the first things that people want to quit when they are working on weight loss and emotional eating goals. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">A common thread among most evening snackers is that the person feels an URGE to eat. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">What causes this urge, you ask? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Let me share....</span>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Classical Conditioning</span></strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">In classical conditioning, a neutral thing become paired with a naturally occurring stimulus/response set to the point where the neutral thing is no longer neutral but carries the power of the stimulus....and the stimulus no longer needs to be present.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">WHAT? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">OK, so this is like when a dog hears you go into the kitchen and he immediately gets excited because he thinks he\'s going to get food, only the food has not yet made an appearance.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">The dog naturally reacts to food. Food is the stimulus. The kitchen was neutral until the dog learned that his food comes from the mysterious place that the humans always go to after dinner to get snacks.....</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Now, the dog associates anything going on in the kitchen with food.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">You experience the same thing when you sit down on the couch to watch television in the evening. The couch and television were once neutral until you started to pair them with the pleasure that you get from eating snacks. Now, each time you sit down on the couch to watch tv in the evening, you want snacks. </span>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Patterns of the Past\r\n</span></strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">I\'ve often heard people talk about the patterns of eating that they acquired in their family of origin, or throughout the course of a marriage.

I thought about all of the people I know who are working on their goals, whether they are related to work, weight loss, fitness, anxiety, or other personal or professional struggles. I accepted the idea of pain and thought, \"Pain is part of the development of any goal, whether it is physical, mental, emotional, professional, or other.\" Change brings about disruption, reorganization, and a return to balance. Pain will dissipate, pleasure can be sensed, and a balance will be created. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">However, the expectations that we build around the perception of the change can hinder our ability to actually become resilient and peaceful. This is where people get stuck, and experience anxiety.</span>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Expectations</span></strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">So many times we enter a situation or challenge anticipating either the best or the worst to happen. This is a normal aspect of the human condition since the nervous system and its cascade of thoughts, physical reactions, and emotions are arranged to react to danger, chaos, and enemies, and also to seek out safety, order, control, and love.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">What we must remember is that the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system are meant to BALANCE each other out, not CANCEL each other out. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">By the same token, we often have expectations about a situation where we think, \"This is going to be terrible and painful\" or \"this is going to be perfect and wonderful\" because we are trapped in the on/off switch of polarized, black or white, all or nothing, pain or pleasure, good or bad thinking. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">We develop expectations that validate whatever has been our most familiar experience (even in terms of how we are accustomed to thinking and perceiving a situation). </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Negative thoughts, although unproductive, are familiar. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Familiar equals predictable which means control. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">However, the cycle of threat/alert/react keeps you trapped inside the loop and you can\'t get a chance to test the reality of the situation. </span>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Breaking Out of the Cycle</span></strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Acceptance means that we stop struggling with the idea that we must get rid of pain in order to have pleasure, or that we cannot experience pleasure because there is pain. Sometimes we think that we will never experience anything \"good\" because there has only been an experience of \"bad\".</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">The body already knows that there will always be both pain and pleasure. The body has a middle ground, a resting point, where there is equilibrium and balance between pain and pleasure. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">The body is already in acceptance. The body knows peace.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">To allow the mind to find acceptance means to expect that there will be struggles and discomfort in life, along with happy times, and exhilarating times.</span>\r\n\r\n<em><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Peace is in the middle to balance it all out.</span></strong></em>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">To find balance in the midst of life\'s challenges is to observe the landscape of your thoughts, emotions, reactions, and perceptions and discover that there is room for all of the pain, pleasure, and peace in each situation.</span>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Finding the Middle</span></strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Easier said than done, finding the middle takes diligent practice. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">At first, the initial pattern of reaction to a perceived threat will elicit stress responses. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">The idea of calming down will be rejected at first because this is perceived as unsafe, such as lowering your guard in the middle of a fist fight. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Calming down seems too passive and unrealistic. You\'re not ready to let go of the fight and just give up and let go because that does not seem to solve anything. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Also, if you have been stressed and anxious for a long time, feeling calm and peaceful does not even seem attainable. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em><strong><span style=\"color: #000000; text-decoration: underline;\">Perfection is viewed as a threat because it is unattainable because it does not exist. </span></strong></em></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Therefore, what is left is failure, pain, and heartache. This has been experienced and validated, and seems real. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">The middle, peaceful place is the balance between the ideas of perfection and failure. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">...the <strong>IDEAS</strong> of perfection and failure...</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">When you can realize that thoughts are just that, ideas...thoughts...mental constructs....then they can be transformed at your will to reflect the middle ground of reality which acknowledges and balances out perfection and failure.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">ACCEPT that both ideas of perfection and failure exist, just as pain and pleasure exist. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">ACCEPT that there is also a safe resting point right in the middle that mediates those two polarities. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">When you let yourself create resilient thoughts that accept both perfection and failure, fear and courage, pleasure and pain, then you become more powerful and see many solutions to solving the problems of life\'s challenges.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Peace does not magically eliminate pain or pleasure but it gives us a place to find balance between the two experiences in order to cope with the challenges of life.</span>\r\n\r\nThe next time that you need to find the middle, begin by taking these steps:\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">1) Make a list of your fear-based thoughts, emotions, and imagined outcomes. What needs are being met?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">2) Make a list of your perfection-based thoughts, emotions, and imagined outcomes.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">3) Ask yourself to identify more balanced thoughts, emotions, and outcomes that are available to meet your instinctive needs of health and wellness.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">4) Notice if you are making a fear-based decision instead of listening to what you know is instinctively well for your mind and body to meet your needs authentically.</span>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">LISTEN TO YOUR HEART\'S DESIRE</span></strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">When you can come to a place of balance, you are better able to listen to and follow your heart\'s desire. We often hold back on pursuing what we want out of fear. Your instincts tell you what you need to be healthy and well.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Courage comes from being able to overcome fear and act on what you know in your gut you need to do. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Your mind and body will have a louder voice that you can follow more easily when you can spend some time in the middle, in peace. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">[author] [author_image timthumb=\'on\']http://dianazilly.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/dianazilly.jpg[/author_image] [author_info]by Diana Zilly, MS, MA, LCPC, NBCFCH.

It\'s usually one of the first things that people want to quit when they are working on weight loss and emotional eating goals. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">A common thread among most evening snackers is that the person feels an URGE to eat. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">What causes this urge, you ask? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Let me share....</span>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Classical Conditioning</span></strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">In classical conditioning, a neutral thing become paired with a naturally occurring stimulus/response set to the point where the neutral thing is no longer neutral but carries the power of the stimulus....and the stimulus no longer needs to be present.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">WHAT? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">OK, so this is like when a dog hears you go into the kitchen and he immediately gets excited because he thinks he\'s going to get food, only the food has not yet made an appearance.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">The dog naturally reacts to food. Food is the stimulus. The kitchen was neutral until the dog learned that his food comes from the mysterious place that the humans always go to after dinner to get snacks.....</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Now, the dog associates anything going on in the kitchen with food.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">You experience the same thing when you sit down on the couch to watch television in the evening. The couch and television were once neutral until you started to pair them with the pleasure that you get from eating snacks. Now, each time you sit down on the couch to watch tv in the evening, you want snacks. </span>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Patterns of the Past\r\n</span></strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">I\'ve often heard people talk about the patterns of eating that they acquired in their family of origin, or throughout the course of a marriage. People bond socially over food, and food is often a language of love and comfort. It can also be a source of guilt if one chooses not to join the other person in their eating (peer pressure). I\'m only scratching the surface here, but you get the idea. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">There are also patterns that form just from visual cues, situations, other people, the environment (such as being in the living room sitting on the couch). </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Breaking an eating habit such as evening snacking requires changes in these cues, such as sitting in a different place in the room, or not watching television but finding other things to do....spy on yourself and see what changes you can make in order to break the patterns of these cues.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Also, think about the social and emotional bonds that you might have formed over food. I\'ve heard of people choosing to play a game of cards or walk the dog rather than eat snacks. They are still bonding socially, just not bonding over food.</span>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Eating Emotions</span></strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">If you are a person who, as they read this, thinks, \"No, the urge to eat is much stronger than that, to the point where it\'s uncontrollable,\" then you may be dealing with some other issues more related to anxiety. If you have read other articles on this website, you might recall reading about how food is one of the very first ways that we seek autonomy as an infant. You are driven on a primal level to eat, and to have control over the physical process of eating. You put the food into your own mouth. That\'s control. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">In the experience of anxiety, one feels a need to control in order to feel safe. If a person is experiencing binge eating, there is most likely a trauma history (neglect, abuse, etc.) and also anxiety. This is treatable and you can get better. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">A lot of times people binge eat in the evening when the house is quiet and they are in bed, alone with their thoughts. Sometimes the urge wakes them up after a short period of sleep, or in the shower. These are times when the anxiety sneaks up and demands control, triggering an eating response. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">A person might binge eat when they are bored, or when no one is around. A person does not have to be doing binge/purge (when the person makes himself vomit). Many times, people binge and do not purge. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Theses are only a couple of reasons why people snack in the evening. If you are struggling with this issue, just start out by taking note of your thoughts, emotions, physical sensations, and the intensity of the urge. It will help you to build awareness of the issue so that you can choose the next step, whether it is setting up a different evening routine, or getting help from a mental health professional (like me!)</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">[author] [author_image timthumb=\'on\']http://dianazilly.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/profile-pic-2015.jpg[/author_image] [author_info]by Diana Zilly, MS, MA, LCPC, NBCFCH.

It\'s all around us. Everyone experiences some type of risk or uncertainty on a daily basis, whether it\'s wondering if the day is going to go as planned, worrying about the kids coming home safely, or hoping that a loved one stays in your life rather than dealing with the pain of a break up.</span>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Why is it hard to deal with uncertainty?</span></strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">As human beings, we are naturally wired to want connection, attachment, and safety. Our big human brains watch out for harm, and search to organize how we understand our lives in order to feel safe. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">You have probably heard of \"the comfort zone\". You probably have one! The problem is that the comfort zone is not so comfortable. It\'s usually a place that is uncomfortable yet familiar. As human beings, we like \"familiar\". It feels safe because it is predictable. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Personal growth is usually uncomfortable and comes from a place of uncertainty. It can require the release of old ways of thinking and feeling, and old ways of how a person once understood the world around him. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">The process of change is normally accompanied by the fear of the unknown. There is a sense of empty space that must be filled by something, which is often quickly occupied by self-doubt, fear of failure, fear of discomfort or pain, and even of sense of loss over what one used to think was right....where all the answers once lived.</span>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">How to Cope....Where are the Answers?</span></strong>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">A New Template</span></strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">A template, in this context, is a mental map of understanding and organizing the self and its surroundings. Basically, your world view and how you think about your sense of self, your values, your relationships, and how you find meaning in your life. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">You cannot use an old template that came from old ways of thinking in order to emerge into healthier habits and patterns. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Your new template must contain the map of where you are now, and the things that you are learning about yourself. It must contain the things that you have come to know about yourself, such as your values. These values may include (for example) health, wellness, responsibility, trust, and self-actualization. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Self-actualization is the process of becoming your own true self, and living to your own fullest potential. It means that you can start to trust yourself about certain areas of your own personal health and well-being, and continue to build upon that. </span>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Using the Open Hand</span></strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">In Buddhism, there is the practice of the Open Hand in which one understands that the hand must be open to both give and receive. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Know that as you process your uncertainty, the release of the old template that contained your doubts, fears, and negativity will make space for your ability to receive the joy, happiness, and peace of mind that comes from using the new, healthier template. </span>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">AND.....in that process......what you can trust is that your hands are always there to release and receive.  </span></strong>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">You are always with yourself in your own journey of growth.</span></strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Each person is responsible for healing himself, even when the hurts from the past may have been caused by others. </span>\r\n\r\n<em><span style=\"color: #000000;\">No one can heal another person. </span></em>\r\n\r\n<em><span style=\"color: #000000;\">It is the love and support that we provide to each other that gives us the strength to move forward with courage and become whole.</span></em>\r\n\r\nT<span style=\"color: #000000;\">he answers will come in their own time. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Stay with your breath.

You might be one of those people, or know someone who is struggling with it. We all know that soda pop is really bad for us. It\'s extremely unhealthy, even the diet soda. It\'s really just crap. </span>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Why is it so difficult to quit?</span></strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Aside from the fact that sugar is like crack and has addictive qualities, there is also the whole mental game of why it\'s hard to stop drinking pop (which is where I come in pretty handy....)</span>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The Slippery Slope</span></strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Maybe you\'ve been riding down the slippery slope of \"I\'ll quit tomorrow\" with a soda in one hand. Tomorrow never comes. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">In order to get off the slippery slope and stand on firm ground, you have to dig a little deeper and really find out why you are not willing to give up the soda. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Here are some reasons that I have heard over the years:</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">1) I don\'t like to drink water</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">2) I like it and I don\'t really want to quit completely</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">3) I don\'t know what to drink instead</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">4) Everyone else at home drinks pop and it will be too hard for me to quit</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">5) I tried quitting before and it just didn\'t work out</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">6) I don\'t like the withdrawals</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">7) There\'s no point. I\'ll just end up going back to it anyway</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">8) It tastes good with my food</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">9) I need it to stay awake at night</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">10) I need it to wake up in the morning</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">11) It\'s my best friend and it\'s always there throughout the day</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">12) Binge eating/hoarding/anxiety/trauma issues (emotional soothing with food/sugar/soda pop</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">13) Just a really bad habit <em>(you probably need to review the previous 12 list items)</em></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">I\'m sure there are more reasons but you get the idea....</span>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Quitting (Own, Decide, Commit)</span></strong>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Own</span></strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">First of all, only you can make the choice about really quitting. Even if someone talked you into quitting, and you\'re doing it as a bet, contest, or you need an accountability partner, ultimately you will need to carry forward on your own when those circumstances change. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">This is your journey. Your body. Your goal. OWN IT. You can\'t put the control into someone else\'s hands and expect this to work out. You have to do it for yourself because you want to be healthy.</span>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Decide</span></strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">You have to decide very specifically about your plan and how you will act on it. You must plan the way that you will handle the physical withdrawal from the caffeine, sugar, and other chemicals that are in your drink. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Whether you go cold turkey or cut down, ultimately the day will arrive when you will no longer buy soda.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">You must have a plan to deal with the emotional urges when you miss your familiar friend. </span>\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Develop a new palate, and start drinking water. If you do not like water, then put some real lemon juice in your water (DO NOT PUT ARTIFICIAL FLAVORING CRAP IN YOUR WATER)</span></li>\r\n	<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Face the urge. You can deal with any emotion that comes your way. It is survivable. YOU CAN DO THIS.</span></li>\r\n	<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Have a plan on how you are going to redirect yourself when the urge to drink soda comes your way. Walk outdoors. Be active. Enjoy someone\'s company. Go walk your dog. Clean the closet. Phone a friend. Journal your thoughts and emotions. </span></li>\r\n	<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Do not eat foods that trigger your urge to drink soda until you have developed a strong habit of drinking water. </span></li>\r\n	<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Stop</span> thinking about the fact that you have given up soda and <strong>start reminding yourself that you are now a healthy person who drinks water.</strong></span></li>\r\n	<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">PERSONAL MANTRA: Say something positive to yourself that reminds you of all the gains you are getting from your new healthy habit. Latch onto your goal. Find an encouraging quote that you like to help you stay on track, and keep it handy throughout the day. </span></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Emotional Eating/Trauma/Anxiety</span></strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">I\'ve worked with clients who have food and soda addictions due to it being their way of coping with trauma. Remember, food and drink are the first ways that we seek autonomy as babies, and it is part of our instinctive, hard-wiring. Don\'t be ashamed. Just get professional help. Go to counseling. Once you start processing the trauma, or other emotional upsets, then you will be able to start dealing with the food/drink issues. </span>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Commit</span></strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">If you are taking a wait-and-see-if-this-works-this-time approach, then you are going to be waiting around for a very long time. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">You must commit. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">When you say, \"I\'ll try\", you\'re leaving the door open to failure. </span>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">You must slam the door on failure.</span></strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Failure is not an option.

Have a party with yourself. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Envision yourself each day being healthy. If other people are not supportive, then call me up and I\'ll be thrilled to tell you how awesome you are.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Friends and family who are not quitting pop with you will see how well you\'re doing, and then they\'ll be more likely to give it up, too. It\'s each person\'s journey, and you have to meet them where they are. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">All you need is to focus on yourself and your personal journey of health and wellness. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Be awesome.

It happens.\r\n\r\nThe problem is when we get stuck inside that loop and it can become an endless cycle.\r\n\r\nHave you ever gotten stuck like that? Maybe you\'re stuck right now, and that\'s why you\'re reading this article.\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Why We Get Stuck (in no particular order)</span></strong>\r\n\r\nThese are just a few reasons why people get stuck and feel like they have lost all their motivation.\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Anxiety/Avoidance</span></strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">If you have polarized, black and white, all or nothing sort of thinking, you might avoid an activity that you fear you will not do well enough (fail). The idea of failure is terrifying. Who wants to fail? </span>\r\n\r\n<em><span style=\"color: #000000;\">No one, that\'s who.</span></em>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">The perfection/failure analog produces anxiety, and triggers escape/avoidance tactics that keep you from interacting with the activity. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Find the middle ground. Identify small, very realistic goals that you can safely accomplish to give yourself the evidence you need to see that you are not failing, and that you do NOT need to be perfect.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Depression</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">If you are struggling with depression, even mild depression, one of the ways it shows up is a lack of motivation to do things. There is a distinct lack of enjoyment in things you used to enjoy (this is called anhedonia). Self-care, exercise, being organized, and going out with friends can become very difficult. You might experience very negative thoughts, self-loathing, and sadness. Your eating and sleeping habits might change to various extremes. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">If you find that you cannot get past these symptoms, you should seek care from a mental health professional. Even if a family doctor (or a psychiatrist) gives you an antidepressant, you still need to deal with the depression with a mental health counselor. A counselor can help you work through issues that are underlying the depression.</span>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Unattached to a Goal</span></strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">You might not really know what direction you want to take, so you decide not to do anything at all. This can be related to the escape/avoid anxiety because you might be thinking, \"If I don\'t have it all figured out, then I\'m not going to do anything at all.\" It\'s an all or nothing situation. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">You might feel overwhelmed if you have not narrowed down your goal. It might feel too big and unattainable. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Think about what you want, not what you don\'t want. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">For example, rather than focus on how much you don\'t feel like filing papers, think about how much you want a nice, clean desk. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">(read my blog post about setting attainable goals!)</span>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Remember the Reward</span></strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Whatever the cause (and there are more than what I mentioned here), it takes ACTION to change your circumstances.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">The reward comes after the action is performed.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">In other words, if you wait until you \"feel like it\" to take action, you\'re going to be waiting around for a long time. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Accept that you don\'t \"feel like it\". </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Then do it anyway. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">You won\'t feel the energy and spirit of what you\'re doing until you start to perform the action. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">If it means that you need to get up and be around people to exercise at the gym or attend a social event, remember how glad they will be to see you. Remember that you mean a lot to them!</span>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Choice, Action, Reward!</span></strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Positive, approach behaviors that bring fairly immediate rewards can help you get the wheels turning faster. Cardiovascular exercise is also very good for helping to alleviate symptoms of depression. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">So, know that it\'s OK to not feel like doing anything.....do it anyway and you\'ll feel the reward of taking action!</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">[author] [author_image timthumb=\'on\']http://dianazilly.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/profile-pic-2015.jpg[/author_image] [author_info]by Diana Zilly, MS, MA, LCPC, NBCFCH.

Growing up, I only learned about things like trust, honesty, respect, and mostly just being told to obey my parents and teachers. I was taught to not make waves, and do what I was told. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">And I did. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">And then I grew up.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Being my own person</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">I learned what it meant to be my own person. Through martial arts, I discovered a system of personal growth that put words to everything I felt inside me. In TaeKwonDo, there are tenets such as perseverance and indomitable spirit that captured the spirit of what I had been doing as a 24/7 single parent, raising my girls, working, going to school, and working toward a career. In martial arts, I worked toward belt ranks, learning different forms and board breaks. I pushed and persevered, kept going, kept getting up again, staying focused on my goals.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Failure was simply <em>not</em> an option. I told myself that every day.</span>\r\n\r\n<strong><em><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Prevail</span></em></strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Now, I am inspired to sum up the fiery passion and persistence that has burned within me by saying:</span>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em><strong>Live Fiercely</strong></em></span></p>\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">To me, living fiercely means that I always find a way to accomplish something. I use intellect to gain perspective. I see options and weigh choices. I become aware of fear but use wisdom to reason with the fear. Living fiercely does not mean rushing blindly into foolish choices. It means pushing past the natural fear (which we all have) when I sense the unknown, and when I can\'t control the outcome. It means believing in myself, and in what my heart tells me to do. It means following my purpose in life. It means making the sacrifices to achieve my goals. It means acting boldly, making choices based on courage not fear. It means trusting myself that I will ALWAYS have indomitable spirit. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">And so it is that I bid you to also <em><strong>live fiercely. </strong></em></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Take hold of your goals and ask yourself what you are willing to do to achieve them. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">What values will you apply to motivate yourself to get up, and work toward what you want to achieve? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">At the end of your life, do you want to look back and say, \"I was afraid so I stayed where I was,\" or do you want to say, \"I was afraid, and I did it anyway, and I was so glad I did!\" </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">This is not about being perfect. This is about living your life rather than watching it go past you. This is about moving around in your life rather than being stuck. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">This is about being able to follow what is in your heart rather than following the negative programming that may have been holding you captive for years.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">If you struggle with fear and anxiety, get set up with some counseling (shameless plug for my therapy services!) </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">This is your life, and you\'re worth it. <em>Live fiercely!</em></span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">[author] [author_image timthumb=\'on\']http://dianazilly.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/profile-pic-2015.jpg[/author_image] [author_info]by Diana Zilly, MS, MA, LCPC, NBCFCH.

It\'s a famous lie that takes you down the slippery slope of bad eating habits.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">If you are working on changing your eating habits, then it\'s likely you have experienced some form of the \"I\'ll just have one\" slippery slope. Maybe you ended up eating as much as you normally would have, or more....</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">\"I\'ll just have one\" turns into the whole bag of chips or cookies, and you end up being frustrated and angry with yourself. This isn\'t how you really want to feel. It\'s just part of a pattern that needs to be broken. There\'s a certain amount of discomfort in the process of change (I\'m sure that\'s an understatement, too).</span>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Forget it, I\'ll start tomorrow</span></strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Guess what? Tomorrow never comes. We are always on today. We live from one breath to the next. Today is this moment in time. Right now. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">The lie of \"I\'ll start tomorrow\" is an avoidance tactic that takes you away from the anxious or negative thoughts you might have, such as:</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> \"It\'s going to be too difficult.\" </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">\"I\'ll probably fail anyway.\"</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">\"I\'m too far gone....it\'s just not worth it.\"</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">\"I\'m not worth it.\"</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">\"The others think I will fail. What if they are right?\"</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">\"No one else is with me on this. I don\'t want to be alone.\"</span>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">What to do instead</span></strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">First of all, start with the here and now. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">When you think about the idea of never eating your favorite food again, or limiting yourself from eating a comfort food that has been your best friend, that can become too overwhelming and scary.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ways to make it more manageable:</span>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">1) Decide and Discover</span></strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Decide on the amount of the food and if you cannot stick to it, or anticipate failure, spend some time thinking about the emotions and negative thoughts that are coming up in your mind and body. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Discover what your true needs are so that you can think of ways to meet them. Ask yourself how you feel and what you think (Am I lonely? bored? sad? hurt? unworthy? .....or other things...?)</span>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">2) Have a Plan</span></strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">When we remove one thing, we need to replace it with another thing. No one wants a crutch replacement. You will want to replace an emotional food with an activity (if you are not hungry) or healthy food (if you are hungry). Pick something that actually meets your needs. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">When in doubt, sit it out. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Wait, think, choose. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Make a plan for yourself. </span>\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Change your physical environment (walk away from the kitchen, for example, and go take the dog for a walk). </span></li>\r\n	<li><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Talk to a supportive friend </span></strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">(everyone needs support)</span></li>\r\n	<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Get busy with a hobby or even just closet cleaning</span></li>\r\n	<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Make a list of things that you can do so when you are at a loose end, you can read the list and pick something.</span></li>\r\n	<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Music: a song that serves as your personal anthem of success will help you get back on track and remember why you are making the effort.</span></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">3. Reflect</span></strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">This is a learning experience, not an event. Your mind and body need time to learn, accommodate for new knowledge, and assimilate it into an understanding of yourself and the mental map of how you live your life. Think about how you felt, and reflect on what you learned.
