What Do You Really Need Right Now?
December 25, 2025
Over the next couple of days....or even weeks...
You may find yourself drifting into the kitchen like something’s missing…
Not food.
But something.
Maybe you're scrolling.
Maybe you're pacing.
Maybe you're just moving — hoping the motion will give you direction.
That moment, right there?
That’s not always hunger.
That’s your body asking you to listen.
Emotional Hunger vs. Physical Hunger
Here’s a quick way to tell the difference:
| Physical Hunger | Emotional Hunger |
| Builds gradually | Comes on suddenly |
| Open to many food options | Craves specific “comfort” foods |
| Stops when you’re full | Keeps going — even when full |
| Satisfied after eating | Followed by guilt or regret |
You’re not weak.
You’re wired.
But wiring can be rewired — and that’s where your power lives.
The Self-Check Trifecta™
Before you grab something to munch on, ask yourself:
1. Water
→ Hydration is often the real MVP.
Drink 8 oz. of spring water first and see what shifts.
2. Alkalizing Breaths
→ Try this: Inhale for 4, hold for 3, exhale for 6.
Repeat 3x. Feel what’s beneath the craving.
3. Stillness
→ Sit. Just for 90 seconds.
No distractions. No judgment. Just presence.
Because stillness often reveals the truth:
You might not need food. You might need care.
Snack on THIS...
Sometimes what you’re hungry for isn’t in the pantry.
It’s peace.
Or a pause.
Or permission to just feel what you feel without fixing it with food.
Try the Trifecta.
Let your body speak before your habits do.
Because the more you listen…
The less you’ll reach for something that isn’t really what you need.
You’re doing amazing.
Keep leaning in. 💚
