(00:20) Overeating and Inadequate Energy Connection

We explore the idea that overeating and overconsumption may have their roots in inadequate energy. We ask ourselves if our life is actually energizing and fulfilling, or are we feeling depleted and run down. We look at how often we forget meals because we are engaged in living our lives and feeling alive. We consider the equation of expenditure and receiving back energy and whether anything from the outside can solve the problem of an energy imbalance. We come to the conclusion that a good life is lived in balance and that when we strive for balance, our lives will tend to be better.

(14:36) Evaluating Life Energy and Balance

We ask ourselves if our overconsumption is a result of a lack of energy within our life, or if it's something we need to do to get something else done. We look at the short-term responsibilities we have, and consider if our life is really in line with our true selves over the long-term. We recognize that awareness of our own hunkers can be a key to understanding what is depleting us and transitioning the situation, and that when we bring enough awareness to a situation, the right action sometimes becomes automatic.

(18:20) Balance in Life, Overcoming Over-Consumption

We look at the role that feelings can play in understanding our over-consumption habits. We consider how our life might be imbalanced in terms of energy that we put in versus the energy that we get back. We also contemplate how our over-consumption might be an indication of deeper issues such as pain, fear, or trauma. We discuss how we can begin to make better choices by recognizing these imbalances and seeking to restore a balance in our lives.
