Overeating is a form of self anesthesia. What we're trying to do is find other non-destructive methods to feel better. Here are some other, less self-destructive ideas for managing the pain and difficulties of living: Try moving. Flexing your muscles and liberating your bones really makes you feel good. In other words, exercise! Go for a walk, take a yoga class, or dance a little to some lively music. Deep breathing is good. Oxygenating your blood is a terrific analgesic. Take 16 deep breaths, holding for 3 seconds at the end of every inhalation and exhalation. Herbs can be soothing,too. I like comfrey tea or St. John's Wort. Or an old-fashioned remedy: lie down with a cool compress on your forehead.
