Let's say you know you're starving and you know that there's something really sweet and fatty waiting for you in the fridge. All you have to do is open up the fridge and get it and move toward it. What you do is you check in with, well, what actually, you don't check in with what are my feelings right now. You check in with, well, what are my higher values?

That's what you check in with, your higher values. I want to lose weight. I want to not be the kind of person that immediately opens up that fridge every time I'm hungry and picks out the most unhealthiest thing I have in the fridge. Check in with all of that first and let the emotions and the desires and those quick feelings subside, but be with them. Don't label them.

Big one. A big one with low self-esteem. Well, actually, there's no such thing as low self-esteem. This is interesting. On psychological surveys, you very rarely will ever meet a human that says they have zero self-esteem. When you ask them to rate on a scale one to seven, how much self-esteem do they have? It's usually a bimodal distribution. So you usually see a lot of six and sevens.
