Hello love,
Today I wanted to share with you something more fun! I wanted to share 5 tips to help soothe the nervous system.
How does this come into play for an emotional eater?
When I would emotionally eat I used food to soothe myself. I used it to avoid my emotions. When I got to the root of my emotional eating I had to process and resolve the emotions underneath. This is the deep work that processes emotions in the body and subconscious mind.
BUT…
Today I want to share some ways to “cope” and soothe the nervous system. This will not get to the root of your emotional eating but will help you manage the overwhelm a bit better and even get you ready to dive deeper!
Tips Mentioned to Soothe the Nervous System for Emotional Eaters
- Try a hair mask; 1-2 tbsp cold pressed organic coconut oil + 5 drops organic rosemary essential oil. Massage it into the scalp and along the hair. Leave on for 1-8 hours. Double shampoo for best results!
- Turmeric Face Mask to nourish the skin and soothe the nervous system:
- Dry Skin Brushing.
- Oil massage: use organic cold pressed coconut oil or sesame oil (great for winter)
- Epsom salt bath: 2 cups + 1 cup real sea salt. Soak 10-20 minutes 🙂
Let me know which one you are going to try in the comments below 🙂
To soothing,
