"If you're an emotional overeater, you may turn to food to cope with stress and sadness, enhance joy, and bring a sense of comfort. But, over time, overeating can cause weight gain, heart disease, diabetes, and many other health problems. In 50 More Ways to Soothe Yourself Without Food, you?ll find fifty more mindful and healthy activities to help you replace your need to overeat.

"Based in popular mindfulness practices, this book will show you how to slow down and be present during mealtime so that you end up making healthier choices. In addition, the activities in the book?such as yoga, aromatherapy, and breathing exercises?will help you gain a greater overall sense of well-being and appreciation for your body"--from the Publisher.

Abstract

Food has the power to temporarily alleviate stress and sadness, enhance joy, and bring us comfort when we need it most. It's no wonder experts estimate that 75 percent of overeating is triggered by our emotions, not physical hunger. The good news is you can instead soothe yourself through dozens of mindful activities that are healthy for both body and mind.

Susan Albers, author of Eating Mindfully, now offers 50 Ways to Soothe Yourself Without Food, a collection of mindfulness skills and practices for relaxing the body in times of stress and ending your dependence on eating as a means of coping with difficult emotions. You'll not only discover easy ways to soothe urges to overeat, you'll also learn how to differentiate emotion-driven hunger from healthy hunger. Reach for this book instead of the refrigerator next time you feel the urge to snack-these alternatives are just as satisfying!

Abstract

Comment annoncer à un enfant la mort d'un proche? Quelles peuvent être ses réactions à la perte d'un être cher? Comment l'aider à traverser ces moments difficiles? Ce guide pratique s'adresse aux parents, grands-parents, oncles et tantes, parrains et marraines, etc., qui, confrontés à un décès dans leur famille ou dans leur entourage, se préoccupent de ce que vivent les enfants. Il concerne également les professionnels de l'enfance et de la famille (éducateurs, assistants sociaux, psychologues, enseignants, etc.) qui sont amenés à suivre un enfant en deuil. À l'aide d'explications théoriques et d'exemples tirés de leur pratique, les auteurs apportent un éclairage ciblé sur différentes facettes du processus de deuil de l'enfant. Des pistes de réflexion et d'action sont suggérées et détaillées par âges, allant de la prime enfance à l'adolescence. Des conseils utiles sont également proposés aux adultes et à la famille dans son ensemble. Ce guide a été réalisé par les intervenantes de la fondation As'trame, qui accompagne des enfants en deuil et leurs familles depuis plus de vingt ans. L'expérience accumulée au cours de ces nombreuses années constitue la substance même du livre. Celui-ci est structuré en chapitres indépendants qui peuvent être lus séparément les uns des autres. Le lecteur peut ainsi trouver rapidement des réponses à ses questions sans avoir à parcourir l'entier de l'ouvrage.
