Food has been my no. 1 source of self soothing / de-stressing over the years and now trying to find alternatives when anxious or stressed. For those who have tried this, what has worked for you? Thank you🙏🏽

Thanks!!

It helped me to learn to be mindful of how I actually felt after soothing with food. 9 times out of 10, I actually felt worse afterward if I stopped to think about the physical sensation. We just don’t often stop to have that awareness, especially if we’re doing something else while eating. Try really tuning into physical sensations after the next time you de-stress with food, and you might want it less the next time. It worked for me!

Why you trying to find replacement? For me it’s food and working out (sometimes talking to friends)

Aw that sucks OP. If I may offer some suggestions: be a bit more selective now (for example I love love love carbs but cutting back recently), try to get your body more active which helps your mental health and physics health —> also feel more comfy eating and be happy lol.

Hi all,

I just got a job with Delta airlines and I had an accomodation request to work remotely as I am Immunocompromised. I provided all the neccesary documents to back up my request and letters and documents from my Dr. aswell. My request was denied because the team said they wanted me to have face time and one on one interactions with people from other team (which defeats the purpose of my request) because I have to limit those interactions to reduce the risk of infection. What do I do?

Friendly reminder with flu season right around the corner: please cover your mouth or stay home!

Do you all feel that the Health Insurance choice is actually all the same? The coverage is absolutely copy and paste for Bronze to Platinum and the deductible/copay is very similar.
I just don’t understand why we have the illusion of “choice” if the offer is the same and it is really bad (in our case).
Going from $61 per paycheck for 2.5k deductible 75% copay to $500+ per paycheck with 500 deductible 85% copay.
Other firms have better health insurance?
