Emotional Eating - Try Self-Soothing

Happy Monday, campers!  Have you ever heard the funniest joke in the world?  They say that if you hear it, you'll die laughing.  So if you're reading this, then perhaps you haven't actually heard it. Boom Boom!

Well, this piece of music is rated as the most relaxing music in the world (and is guaranteed to be non-fatal.)

The British Academy of Sound Therapy made a study and this piece came out on top.  I've listened to it and became almost catatonic as a result.  

But seriously,  when we get tense or anxious or have an emotion that we insist we don't want to feel, we tend to go straight to the Tim Tams (those poor, much-maligned biscuits).  The ideal alternative is to be able to self-soothe i.e. calm oneself from inside or sit with the emotion without external means - whether that be food, alcohol, drugs or retail therapy.

Tell me what you think of Weightless by Marconi Union.  The link also lists the other nine members of the top ten - I don't see Metallica on there (can't imagine why).

So listen and relaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaax.
