]]>Start becoming aware of when you are feeling an emotion and when you reach for your favorite food. You will notice some patterns. Write them down so you can address and start adopting healthier habits when an emotion arises.
One of the main reasons people eat for emotional reasons is because they are disorganized with their meals and snacks. If you are full and satiated from your meals you will be less likely to reach for food when an emotion arises.
When an emotion arises, instead of being rash and reaching into the cookie jar, take a second and meditate or deep breath and calm those feelings down!
If you did reach for the cake when you were feeling angry or stressed, make time for the food, taste it, enjoy it, and move on. You will be less likely to overeat and feel bad after.

]]>Remember that you have total control over where your money goes and spend it on brands you believe in. These can be locally run shops or anything else that makes you feel like you’re making a difference. Also, there’s no need to spend too much—it’s the thought that counts.
Once you decide to get your seasonal gifts at small businesses, remember that they typically don’t have the same capacity as big chains so shop early before they sell out. Have realistic expectations about shipping and other details and plan to shop ahead of time.
Gifts don’t necessarily have to be new. In fact, when you know a person really well, you can make an effort to thrift a first edition of their favorite book or a vintage fashion piece they will wear for years. Just keep an open mind and have fun shopping!

]]>As you cleanse your face and brush your teeth in the morning, focus on the tasks you’re doing at the moment. No matter how short your routine is, it’s enough to start practicing being in the moment.
If you have a habit of going on daily walks, try noticing the things around you instead of zoning out with headphones. Notice the things you can see, hear, and smell, note how your heart rate changes as you go faster, how the weather changes, etc.
Making and drinking your first cup of coffee in the morning can be a sacred ritual or something you do in a rush—it’s all about what you choose. Having coffee is much more than just drinking a cup of your favorite caffeinated drink. The ritual of making it involves irresistible smell, pouring coffee in your favorite cup, and enjoying its delicious taste.

]]>Unless you start unsubscribing from all those marketing emails you’re getting, you’ll never win against the cluttered inbox. You don’t have to set aside a specific time to do it. Whenever you get an email you want to delete and never receive again, an additional step of unsubscribing will save you from the future pain.
If you’re holding onto books you don’t really like or don’t see yourself reading again or ever, make someone happy by donating them. Books are always a treasured gift and it’s better to let them go than to let them collect dust on your shelf.
Take as much time as you can, want, or need, and simply do nothing. Remind yourself that nothing comes before you and your own time. It may feel at first but you will quickly learn to cherish that time and look forward to it.

]]>Writing a gratitude list is a wonderful way to refocus your energy so that you feel more positive. When the going gets tough, it can be difficult to remember the good things, and writing a list of the things you are grateful for can remind you that it’s not all bad.
Breathing is something we do all the time and by focusing on your breath, you can recenter yourself and get back in sync with your body. Take deep breaths and feel where they are coming from. Are you breathing from your chest or from your belly? Move your breaths across your body and take deliberate belly breaths to release stress and anxiety.
Saying what you see can be a powerful tool for grounding yourself when your thoughts start to spiral. Look around and name three things you can hear, two things you can see, and one sensation you feel. Doing this increases your awareness of your environment and your body, recentering you in the moment.

]]>This is the most obvious and easiest way, but it needs to be mentioned. Even Oprah recommends it! A gratitude journal is any notebook in which you regularly write down things you’re grateful for and it can be very useful during the rough days.
We all think that we’re nice, but how often do you let an elderly person in front of you in the supermarket line or hold the door for someone whose hands are full? These little gestures will make people’s day and you’ll feel a lot better, too.
Photos of the youngest members of your family or your pets, meaningful drawings and notes, handwritten letters and similar memorabilia deserve a place where you can see them at all times because they will always remind you how blessed you are.
