I mentioned this in the monthly thread and time priorities mean I've only just been able to post.
I was struggling with this as 'mindset' and 'craving' meant nothing very much to me. A problem of language and culture? Over-analysis on my part? Whether I relaxed or concentrated, this chapter did not speak to me.
So I've decided that's OK. I've given the chapter a chance or two. I've read it with respect. I've waited. No sabotaging thoughts.
And I've moved on.
Any comments?
For reference, Beck writes about two sets of techniques.
Techniques to develop the anti-craving mindset
1. Label it
2. Stand firm
3. Don't give yourself a choice
4. Imagine the aftermath of giving in
5. Remind yourself why you want to learn to withstand cravings
Behavioural techniques
1. Distance yourself from the food you crave
2. Drink something with low or no calories
3. Relax
4. Distract yourself.
