Just Choose Healthier Weblog

I started a new teleseminar today with Debbie Bermont of Outrageous Business Growth http://www.outrageousbusinessgrowth.com about identifying the rabbit holes in our lives. According to Debbie, a rabbit hole is a place of constriction which means you have disconnected from trust in yourself and trust in the universe. Debbie teaches how to identify a situation triggering us into our rabbit hole—and to observe our internal dialogue (beliefs and judgments), emotional states triggering our limiting core beliefs and the resulting constrictive behavior keeping us from success in all areas of our lives. Debbie reminded us conscious choice is the key leading to learning to navigate around our rabbit hole and eventually the hole disappears.

Sometimes I am triggered and sabotage living and eating healthier. I don’t even realize I’m in my rabbit hole until I head for the goodies in my pantry. I was so pleased with myself last night when the Girl Scout cookies were delivered and everyone else in the family was enjoying munching on my two favorite flavors. I really wasn’t tempted (well, maybe a teensy bit) but I’ve been doing so well staying away from processed sugar, I consciously chose not to have even one—it’s always the first one that leads me down the path to added poundage.

I really like Debbie’s metaphor of a rabbit hole because I can hop out when I sense ‘danger’. I invite you to think about healthier living challenges causing you to stumble into your rabbit hole. And, if the hole feels like home sweet home, you may want to contact Debbie.

Solution: Become aware of what triggers you into unhealthier eating and living.

Healthier Choice: Once aware, consciously choose to make a healthier choice.

Tried & True Tip: If emotional overwhelm feels all too familiar, you may want to contact someone who has been there done that and navigates around their rabbit hole successfully or seek professional help.
