Do you soothe yourself with unhealthy habits? Learn how to transform unhealthy behaviors without evoking shame or self-blame.

Option 2:

Ever promise yourself you were never going to _____ again? And then find yourself doing it? If you have, then you’ve probably also fallen victim to an inner critic attack that calls you names for being “weak” and giving in to temptation. Once that happens, it’s easy to go into the downhill slide of, “I might as well do it some more because I’ve totally blown it anyway!”

Despite careful plans and good intentions, the urge to indulge can hijack you into doing something you’re sorry for later. That plus self-blame and criticism can become a vicious cycle of unhealthy behavior and painful feelings.

If you’d like to learn some ways to stay present when the temptation to soothe yourself with unhealthy habits comes up (without activating shame or self-blame), check out Ann Weiser Cornell’s online course, The Urge to Indulge. It’ll teach you how to transform old patterns with compassion and gentleness in a way that sticks. Click here to get started: INSERT LINK

Pre-written email copy:

“I deserve something nice today.”

Have you ever told yourself that as you reach for the chocolate you promised yourself you wouldn’t eat just yesterday?

It happens, especially when you’re tired, irritated, sad, or bored. And I bet later on there’s a part of you that beats you up for being “weak” and giving in to temptation… again.

Maybe it’s not chocolate you reach for. Maybe it’s wine, the remote control, or the bedcovers.

Here’s the thing… The urge to indulge is strong and that’s because there’s a deep wanting beneath the surface — usually something that’s got nothing to do with the chocolate or the TV or your bed.

What if you could consistently, reliably find out what that wanted feeling is so you could give yourself what you truly need?

I found a course that teaches you just how to do it. It’s called The Urge to Indulge by Ann Weiser Cornell.

Ann created The Urge to Indulge to help you discover what’s really going on beneath the compulsive habits that keep you riding the seesaw of over-indulgence and self-blame.

If you’d like to learn how to change challenging habits with self-compassion and gentleness, without evoking shame or critical internal voices, this is the way to do it.

Pre-written email copy:

Did you know there’s a good reason why unhealthy habits are hard to kick?

In nearly every unhealthy habit, there’s an inner war – a struggle between the part of you that wants to eat the cookie or mindlessly watch TV for 6 hours and the part of you that tells you, “You’re a loser,” (or worse) when you do it.

Getting stuck between warring parts is hard and it can keep you engaging in unhealthy behaviors a lot longer than you’d like to. It can also make change feel impossible.

The good news? There’s a way to step outside the inner war. You can learn how to do it with Ann Weiser Cornell’s on-demand course, The Urge to Indulge.

In the course you’ll learn:

• why over-indulging happens to you and how you can actually transform the behaviors for good
• how easy it is to get taken over and take action, then lose hours or days to the wave of shame and self-blame that comes after the fact
• why indulgence is often about the struggle to “not feel”
• how to be with challenging feelings so the urge to indulge actually lessens.
