This meditation will help you learn to handle food cravings with awareness and intention. You’ll use the acronym STOP to help you through moments of fear and weakness. “S” stand for simply that: Stop. “T” stands for: Take three deep breaths. “O” stands for observe. “P” stands for proceed, in a way that supports you and those around you. You’ll use this acronym to understand where the craving is coming from and what it means. What thoughts are going through your head right now? What is your craving telling you? What do you imagine will happen if you act on the craving? Breathe deep and allow yourself to relax into what you truly need.
