Weight often becomes the object of our attention when we are feeling anxiety, uncertainty about the future, or hopelessness. Self-inquiry is thus a useful strategy in addressing panic about size and weight. When did you first notice yourself panicking about weight? What are the imagined consequences of becoming overweight in the future? Try taking some time each day to notice and appreciate the physical beauty of a person you believe is overweight.

Weight is a narrow way of assessing your true value and panic around weight can often indicate an unclear mission in life or a lack of purpose. When you find yourself panicking about weight or worrying about your weight, spend some time journaling or go for a walk. Uncover and address the true source of your panic, instead of blaming your body.

ADDRESS ISSUES IN STAGE OF DISEASE 0

Potential causes increase and disturb your imbalanced doshas and qualities, causing them to accumulate and spiral out of control. For example, if you're overheated and eat a chili pepper, heat may become excessive and cause disease. As a dosha or quality accumulates in your body according to your dietary and lifestyle habits, it is more and more likely to cause disease. You can reduce an imbalanced dosha or quality in two ways, by removing, or lessening the frequency of aggravating causes from your diet and lifestyle, as well as by favoring balancing diet and lifestyle practices. For example, try eating something as cool as a cucumber when you're overheated, instead of a chili pepper.
