Ghazal Alagh shares her stress-eating story
After a long and exhausting day at work, people often want to relax with their favorite things. While some may choose to watch shows or have a quick nap, others might de-stress with food, which is something MamaEarth’s Ghazal Alagh also does. Recently, Alagh posted about how an exhausting day at work made her crave truffle cake, even though she claims she isn’t fond of desserts.
In her post, Alagh wrote, “Often, when dealing with stress, our brain returns to familiar routines to save mental energy. And this information has made me see these habits as my brain’s way of coping, not something to feel guilty about.” She also listed three points that she said she would focus on. First, she wishes to recognize her stress triggers; second, she wants to create new and healthier routines, and lastly, she wants to practice mindfulness.
