Ep 415 Overcome Cravings & Emotional Eating with Buddhist Techniques

Struggling with constant urges and unhealthy eating habits? Buddhism offers powerful tools to manage desires and cultivate a healthier relationship with food. 

In this episode, I will talk about the concept of “Shempa” (urges) with Pema Chödrön and Kristen Neff’s self-compassion practices. Learn how to pause, acknowledge cravings without judgment, and develop practical strategies to resist them effectively. I will even discuss an “urge worksheet” to challenge unhelpful thoughts and achieve lasting change.
