When it comes to problems in our lives (such as disordered eating or excess weight), we can create full-time jobs for ourselves just thinking about them. We can spend endless hours considering how this problem has worsened or changed over time, what contributed to it, whom can be blamed, and how fiercely we want things to be different. To make progress, we know that dwelling on it has to give way to action... but which action is the right one to take? We spell it out in this bite-sized episode. Here's a hint: Trying harder and beating ourselves up are not the helpful actions we are going for.
