Confidence Coaching with Heidi Benjaminsen ·

We're all going to experience stress from time to time - it's part of how we grow. Stress itself isn't a problem - this is the clean stress of life.

Listen to Heidi explain the difference between these two emotions and tools to eliminate dirty stress.

Confidence Coaching with Heidi Benjaminsen ·

In this special episode Heidi teaches the foundation tool for SEEing ourselves which supports all of the belief, emotional and habit changes in her unique weight loss and confidence programs.

Our lower brain wants us to avoid pain - even emotional pain - so it creates urges to eat sweet, salty, high fat foods for a quick dopamine hit when we are sad, lonely, nervous, stressed, uncomfortable or any other negative emotion. But emotions are not problems to be solved... and food is only a solution for hunger... not loneliness! Heidi shares examples of how to distinguish emotional urges from intentional food choices, and how to stop eating to feel better.

Ep. 70 Expectations and Resentment

Confidence Coaching with Heidi Benjaminsen ·

2020/12/09

Early in life we started creating expectations of our life and writing mental handbooks of how other people SHOULD be and act.

Confidence Coaching with Heidi Benjaminsen ·

2020/11/11

Perfectionism lies to us to get us to chase it.
