It's episode134.   This week I explore how to change our default habits. The habits that tend to consistently undermine our health and weight-loss efforts are often pretty well rooted and can be tough to change. Consequently we can resort to avoidance as a strategy to give ourselves the illusion of action whilst not actually making any significant or sustained change. I share two kinds of classic avoidance that we need to guard against and share an approach to tackling the changing of our default habits, rituals and routines.David Algeo is a Restless Midlifer, searching for answers and adventure.

It's episode124.   In this week's episode, I continue the mini-series exploring the S.H.I.T.E. model which is all about identifying and dealing with the real causes of our over-eating and over-thinking. This week I look at the 'H' and explore the psychological aspects of hunger that can be described at comfort eating, emotional eating or eating to fill boredom. I share four approaches to managing the urges to binge eat and explain how you can use these to manage your own eating habits.Check out episodes: 107/ 108 and 112 and 113 at https://midlifereshape.com/podcast/David Algeo is a Restless Midlifer, searching for answers and adventure.
