When you have a growth mindset, you can accomplish anything. For instance, I can now say I’m a true ‘master’ because I’ve just obtained my master weight and life coach certification from The Life Coach School. It wasn’t easy to become a master and it was fraught with challenges, but thanks to my growth mindset I was victorious! All leaders use a growth mindset to achieve their goals, from politicians (we hope) to billionaires to your local business owner.

If you’ve been listening to this podcast, then you know I’ve been talking about the importance mindset lately. (If you haven’t, then you want to start with THIS episode) You may have uncovered that other people are a trigger for your over-eating. Someone upsets you, so you grab a cookie in anger, and then another and another until you feel absolutely horrible. Or maybe your own negative self-talk drives you to the scenario. Yet, consuming your emotions creates more problems than it solves. If you find yourself upset with yourself or someone else and then using food to comfort yourself in that moment, then you probably have an Emotional Eating Manual like I did. You may have started writing it as a child, continually adding ever since without even realizing it. When other people don’t follow it, you feel unloved, unworthy and you reach for food to soothe those feelings.  If your manual isn't helping nurture yourself or your relationships then it's time to give it up. Ditching it will lead you on your path to self-love, happier relationships and an end to emotional eating.    If you like what you heard today, please go to Apple Podcasts and leave a revie.

In order to have a healthy mindset, we must change from the inside out. In last week’s episode, Healthy Lifestyle Mindset – Part 1, we talked about how we can create a healthy mindset using science.  We learned how we can forge new neural pathways, building habits that serve our health and overall well-being. In Part 2 of Healthy Lifestyle Mindset, we build on the science by exploring the math and drama of weight loss. Our language, emotions and overall history with food and ultimately ourselves can create unnecessary drama that keeps us from being our best selves.  As we practice intentionally identifying and  removing the drama from the equation, we begin to make better, healthier choices. With intention and without the drama, we are free to create the results we truly desire.    If you like what you heard today, please go to Apple Podcasts and leave a review.  The more reviews we receive, the more women will learn about the podcast and learn from these lessons.

Losing weight is just the first step in becoming healthy and fit. We often make the commitment, but when confronted with temptation, our brains are programmed to give into in temptation. It’s the reason one slice of pizza can quickly turn to into three or more. We can become addicted to thinking and feeling certain ways even if it does us harm. Science tells us we have the power to prune out old neuropathways that don’t serve us, replacing them with new neuropathways that do. In part one of this two part series, I share how you can use this science to change your mindset and build lasting, healthy habits that serve our body and keep us successful in your weight loss journey.
