Yesterday I started discussing solving the problem of stress so it doesn’t become something you eat over.

Hopefully you’ve now determined the need or want which is not being adequately satisfied. This is frequently where the inappropriate need to eat comes in. Let’s search further for a real solution to your stress. Here are more questions you need to ask:

• How can I get what I need/want?
• What could I do to handle this better?
• What could I do to make this work?
• Can anyone help? Who? How?
• Do I need support from someone? How do I get it? How do I ask?
• Do I need to be more effective in the style in which I communicate with and assert my needs and wants more appropriately?
• Do I need more information to help me in this situation?
• Am I being as honest and truthful to myself and others regarding this situation?
• Are my thoughts rational and realistic?
• Is this a situation where I need to “let go of?” Am I willing to do this? How can I do this? (This is a real tough one but may be crucial to your success in dealing with stress.)

Tomorrow I'll discuss how to pull all this together.
