Have you ever started a house project, knowing you have the tools you need, but you can't find the toolbox? You can experience the same thing when you are trying on new skills to cope with the difficulties of life, but food and eating still seems to be the default tools, and you can't access your new skills or tools in your time of need.
We call this "the gap". It's that space between the knowing better and the doing better. Knowing has to come first, but then there's a lag where your old habits still fire automatically, or you find an excuse at the last second not to do the new behavior just yet. It's a really uncomfortable place to be and can really involve frustration.
In the gap, we want you to learn how to make those new skills more accessible and easier to use when the moments of difficulty arise and urges to eat are strong. That's what we're talking about in today's episode: how to make those skills more accessible and attractive.
If you feel like you are stuck in the gap, and you could use some support in practicing your new skills, check out this episode or reach out to use at confidenteaters.com to find out more about our coaching options.
