How to Successfully Manage Hunger - Changing Your Mindset That Hunger Must Be Endured! [Premium Content]-

There is an unavoidable hurdle when aiming for a diet or a healthy lifestyle.
One of the three major desires: 'Appetite'.

Humans cannot live without eating.
Therefore, one might think that 'hunger' is an alert system to protect our lives,
but actually...

'I'm tired, I want to eat something sweet.'
'I already had dinner, but I want a late-night snack.'
In modern times, these mysterious hunger pangs often appear and trouble us.

Feeling hungry even when your stomach isn't actually that empty?
Why do you think that is?
Let's dig a little deeper.

First, I think you have had experiences that apply to the following two patterns. Try to recall them.
For both, assume the situation is 'your stomach is growling before lunch'.

A: 'I'm hungry, and I can't focus on the task in front of me at all.'

B: 'I'm hungry, but I'm making progress on the task in front of me, so I can't stop.'

While the scenes you imagine may differ, generally, A is the hunger you feel during 'tasks you are doing reluctantly' (studying or work), and B is the hunger you feel during 'tasks you are absorbed in' (gaming or creative activities).

If the situation of your stomach growling is the same for these two patterns, why is there such a difference in how they are felt?

What we can say for sure at this point is thatthe intensity of hunger is not determined solely by whether your stomach is empty.

I will write down two points about what is different, briefly.

First, the degree of 'stress the brain is feeling' is different.
A has a higher degree of mental stress.
B has a lower degree of mental stress.
Hunger is felt more strongly or weakly depending on the level of stress.

Second, the 'object the brain is focusing on' is different.
A is food.
B is the task in front of you.
This also includes the perspective of the Law of Attraction.
In other words, both are being pulled by what they are focusing on (thinking about, conscious of, or fixated on) (the Law of Attraction is at work).

Just knowing this will changehow you deal with hunger.

As a criterion for judging between the two patterns A and B, consider B to be a state where you can put off eating without difficulty, thinking, 'I'm hungry, but I can put it off for another 15 minutes!' Anything else is A.

As a way to deal with the hunger of A when you feel it strongly,
'recognize that you are under stress and consciously shift your focus away from food'.
For example, try thinking like this:

'I'm hungry, I can't focus unless I eat... which means,I'm feeling stressed right now..'

Next, let's calmly analyze the current situation.

- I ate a solid breakfast.
- Sleep time was 6 hours... maybe that was a little short.
- I was given a time-consuming task this morning, so it's no wonder I'm stressed.

And after confirming that you were focusing on food, shift your focus to something else.

・Oh, I was just thinking about food... (Check)
・What I'm attracting is my own slim physique! (Focus on your ideal style)
・Well, let me prepare just this much so that the work this afternoon will be a little easier. (Focus on the task at hand)

By doing this, I believe that when you notice it, your hunger will have subsided, and as a result, you can reduce unnecessary snacking.

This can also be used for hunger when you have reduced the frequency or amount of meals for diet or health-conscious reasons.
Some diet influencers say that hunger is pleasant and feels good, but I suspect they are people who have mastered this state through meditation or similar practices. (Stabilizing the mind, reducing stress, and shifting the focus away)

Hunger was an ambiguous alert function for the body.
However, if you turn it to your advantage, it was also a highly reliable stress check function.

Here, I will secretly share an idea I came up with.
Hunger visits us regularly every day, doesn't it?
If you shift your focus from food to what you want to attract every time you get hungry, you can turn it into an ideal reality-attraction time!

When you feel hungry and have no energy, let's reframe it as:
Yes, it's a self-analysis & attraction opportunity!! Let's use it.
When you think about things like that, you'll find that it's already time to eat before you know it.

Let's manage hunger well and spend every day more happily and healthily!
I'll come back to share if I think of any other ideas🥳
