If you've ever felt trapped in a cycle of restriction and rebound, this episode is for you!In this episode, I take you inside two powerful conversations, an initial consult call and the onboarding call with a client. When we first spoke, she was beyond frustrated, stuck in a cycle of restrictive eating, struggling with low energy, and feeling like her body was fighting against her. Just one week into the program, her mindset has already shifted in a big way.She realized she had been drastically under-eating for her activity level, leading to fatigue, cravings, and weekend binges. She had her “aha” moment when she saw how much food she actually could eat and still lose fat. We talk about breaking free from the all-or-nothing dieting mentality, fueling her body properly, and why eating more, not less, is the key to long-term success in menopause.Thank you so much for listening, please share with a friend and subscribe so you don't miss an episode!If you want to see how we can help you on your journey, book a quick 10-15 minute call so we can chat about your goals!https://www.menopotmeltdown.com/quickchatnow Coaching Process Video and booking link https://www.menopotmeltdown.com/mmmcoachingapp Now accepting clients, use the link to apply for 1:1 coaching:https://www.menopotmeltdown.com/mmmcoachingappFree No BS Menopause Secrets Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/kathykatalyst/?ref=shareFor all my social links: https://bit.ly/kathykatalystDo you have a question that you would like answered on the show?

Friends, welcome to Episode 175 of Thrive Beyond Size. Can you believe it's the 175th episode? That means I've done this podcast for 175 weeks in a row without missing a single week. I'm really proud of this accomplishment because I think it's the longest commitment I've ever made. When I started the podcast I was so nervous. I was terrified, actually. I did everything anyone told me to make it perfect. But as I recorded more my mindset changed so I was able to aim for B+ instead of perfection and it made everything easier. That ability to change your mindset to make something easier is what I want to talk about today. There are four key personality traits that tend to make relationships with food, among other things, more challenging for us. But good news! Mindsets can change.    The four key personality traits often standing in our way are perfectionism, the all or nothing thinking, people pleasing, and neglecting our own self-care. The most common is perfectionism. I identify as a perfectionist and even though it sounds like a positive it comes with rigid expectations that don't allow us flexibility. All or nothing thinking often goes hand-in-hand with perfectionism. Either we're really good or we've blown it entirely and we just give up. We've already had a piece of cake so we just eat whatever we want all weekend. People pleasing is that desire to please others and with food this might mean eating what everyone else is eating at a party or saying yes to dessert so you don't offend the host. And neglecting our own self-care often comes with juggling a lot of responsibilities. It's just easier to push our needs to the bottom of the list. If any of these sound like you, this episode is for you. I'll get in-depth on all four and talk about how to shift your mindset to alter these patterns of behavior for the better.__About Dr. Michelle Tubman:Dr. Michelle Tubman is certified by the American Board of Obesity Medicine, which means she understands exactly what's happening in your body when you diet.

Listen to this Whinypaluza Wednesday Live vlog episode with The Greene Family! An extension of the weekly blog, join Rebecca and her family on the live vlog, brought to you here in case you missed it last week!   Here is what to expect on this week's show: What are cognitive distortions, and why do they interfere with your thinking? All Or Nothing Thinking- if it isn't perfect, it is bad. Overgeneralization- applying a label to everything because it happened once. Mental Filter- ignore the positive and focus on the negative. Discounting the positives- not valuing positive things that happen Jumping to Conclusions- decisions not based on evidence Magnification or Minimization- making things more significant or less significant than they are. Emotional Reasoning- reasoning yourself into negative thoughts Should Statements- criticism in form of “you should have” or “I should have” Labeling- applying negative labels to yourself or others in reaction to a mistake or because something didn't happen the way you expected. Personalization and Blame- thinking you are to blame for things you have no control or influence over. How to identify cognitive distortions Showing yourself compassion and understanding in training yourself to break these habits. Look for evidence to support what you are thinking or saying to yourself or others. Is it true? Transformational vocabulary- instead of automatically falling into your cognitively distorted thoughts, how you can reframe what you say and how you think.

Impact of All or Nothing Thinking For entrepreneurs, all-or-nothing thinking reflects in areas such as time management, task prioritization, and perfectionism. This mindset can lead to a constant battle with scheduling disruptions, forgetting tasks, and dealing with an overload of responsibilities. Moreover, the pursuit of perfection can become a hindrance, either by demanding specific conditions before embarking on a task, or needing tasks to be perfect before presenting them to the world. Amber discusses the impacts of this mindset in the world of business, pinpointing perfectionism as a common stumbling block for entrepreneurs with ADHD. She talks about 'front end' and 'back end' perfectionism that puts unnecessary pressure and hampers progress. She also touches on the effects of this pattern on executive functioning, leading to struggles with time management, task prioritization, and back-to-back commitments.

All or nothing thinking is a form of self sabotage and distorted thinking.  It will prevent you from starting projects, victim mentality, anger and self loathing.  The gray area is where sustainable self love, relationships and goals live.  Failure, mistakes and the unknown live in the gray area.  When you fear those things you are in the all or nothing distorted mindset.   Become A Patreon! www.patreon.com/thepositivityxperience Socials, Services & Website www.thepositivityxperience.com

What if "failure" was actually an opportunity to learn?What if it gave us the chance to collect data about what worked and what didn't?What if we decided to be curious instead of judgmental? If you keep showing up, you're not failing. So let's release all-or-nothing thinking once and for all, and lean into a mindset of growth

In today's episode of Distortion of the Day!, I discuss Black and White Thinking, also known as All Or Nothing Thinking or Absolute Thinking. When you engage in Black and White thinking, you approach things from an extreme point of view. Either something is all good or all bad. A person either's got your back, or you cant count on them. A situation is either totally awesome or totally screwed. And another person's perspective or point of view is either completely in alignment with yours, or you are in total disagreement. There is no in-between. And that's an unfortunate way to approach life because it creates barriers between you and the world around you by shutting out the possibilities of connection and growth that lie in the grey areas. Thanks for tuning in!

Right now, most of us spend more time focused on the actions we're taking instead of the reasons we're taking them. What would happen if you reversed that priority? What would your life become if you focused more on your reasons for doing something rather than the action itself?Listen to find out.Schedule a call with me: sammybeecoaching.com/scheduleFollow me on Instagram: @sammybeecoaching

"My way is to seize an image the moment it has formed in my mind, to trap it as a bird and to pin it at once to canvas. Afterward I start to tame it, to master it. I bring it under control and I develop it. "— Joan MiroIn this episode, Dr. Curtis delves into common thinking traps that impair our ability to think clearly.    When it comes to Self-Mastery, the quality of our thought can make or break our long term success.  This episode encourages listeners to reflect on the content and origin of thought.  Dr. Curtis shares insights into five very common patterns of thinking that lead to false conclusions.Thinking Traps DiscussedAll or Nothing ThinkingJumping to ConclusionsType 1 - Mind ReadingType 2-  Fortune TellingEmotional ReasoningOver GeneralizingIgnoring the GoodEpisodes Mentioned EP 48 Thinking TrapsJoin the conversation, join the Future Focus Health Network....love to hear from you!

In this week's episode, I teach you a fundamental tool, created by my teacher Brooke Castillo from the Life Coach School where I was certified, however it's based in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. And it's really this universal truth, it's a helpful tool to help manage our minds so we're not just believing everything we think and feel. It's essential for any type of personal growth, however for binge eating in particular, it really helps identify those binge-causing thoughts, which is key to recovery.  The tool is called the self-coaching model, or what we often refer to as simply ‘the model', and it's this truth that in the world, there are circumstances that occur. Things happen or just exist. And all of these things are actually neutral and don't innately have a bunch of moralistic meaning to them, until we give them meaning with our thoughts. These neutral circumstances are things that are factual with no opinions or hyperboles brought in. They could be proven in a court of law. And they just are. For example, there is a cup  of coffee on my desk. The sun is shining. Those are what we're calling circumstances. When the circumstance happens, or even if we just remember an existing circumstance, our brain offers up some thoughts. Often these thoughts are subconscious, they happen without us really being aware of them. But when we think these thoughts, we have feelings because of the thoughts – not because of the circumstance itself. And when we feel a certain feeling, often that will drive us to act or not act in a certain way. And that action or inaction, creates certain results in our lives. So the process is: a neutral circumstance exists, then we think a thought about that circumstance, that thought causes a feeling, that feeling drives an action or inaction, and that action or inaction creates the results in our lives. Zooming out, we can infer that our thoughts create our results, our circumstances do not.  This universal truth greatly impacts our lives and empowers us to not be at the mercy of our circumstances and our feelings.

All or nothing thinking comes at a cost. The cost is not only just hiding or ignoring our truest self (which is what perfectionism does); the cost of all or nothing thinking is hurting our truest self. Knocking her down and rejecting her. It's when we're able to see our mistakes as neutral, when we take the pressure off of what we “should be” doing/saying/looking like, when we start checking in with our truest self and gaining from her wisdom versus shooting her down for being different or nonconforming – that's when we start living authentically. That's when we start to truly be known. My ask, friends, is that when we mistakes and failures occur, that we would accept them and give space to them. Maybe we'll begin to see that they weren't mistakes or failures at all actually. Maybe they were just messages from our true selves, reminding you that the vastness of life isn't found by following other people's rules perfectly.Book a consultation call with me: https://www.sammybeecoaching.com/scheduleFollow me on Instagram: @sammybeecoaching

Why do we describe things as good or bad when there is a whole variety of feelings in between. It makes you evaluate your life in only two ways; perfection or utter failure.

"The first and most important step toward success is the feeling that we can succeed." Nelson Boswell   Today I want to share with you the monthly blog article from my business partner Robert Stuberg.  The of the blog entry is Thought Distortions.  This blog is packed with content and ideas on how to start REALLY changing your thoughts....especially the ones you Don't want to be having.   Head over to Stuberg.com to get tons of additional blog articles and ideas that can help you Unleash Your Potential.   Thought Distortions Blog July 1, 2021   One of the questions clients frequently ask me is, What is the best way to change your thoughts? In other words, how do you get rid of thoughts you don't want running through your mind? If you take the time to analyze your unwanted thoughts, you will often discover that they are based on distortions of reality. Finding ways to eliminate these “Thought Distortions” can take many forms. Over the years, I have used several methods but some of the ones I've found most effective have been self-hypnosis, sleep programming, meditation, and even something I call “Hypnology” which you may find fun to investigate and experience for yourself. (There is a FREE product titled Provocative Destiny on my website if you would like to explore the concept of “Hypnology” which involves using your musical intelligence to reprogram your subconscious mind. It's an extremely powerful way to change your thinking. Just click HERE for your FREE copy!)   The challenge to eliminating your unwanted thoughts, however, is that you first have to figure out what thoughts you need to eliminate. So let me begin by telling you about Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) which was developed by the American psychiatrist Aaron Beck in the 1960's. Beck originally used Freudian Psychoanalysis with his patients but as a researcher and scientist, he decided to put psychoanalysis to the test. Unfortunately, those tests he conducted did not produce the results he was expecting which is what lead him to start developing and testing other methods.   As you might imagine, Beck was not originally applauded for challenging accepted beliefs and practices but as other colleagues began trying his methods, Beck was vindicated and eventually regarded as an important pioneer in the field of psychiatry.   The essence of what Beck discovered is that negative thoughts fall into three categories: negative ideas about the self, negative ideas about the world, and negative thoughts about the future. For many people, these negative thoughts become automatic over time so they are no longer even questioned. But when Beck began questioning patients about their thoughts and pointing out various inaccuracies or distortions, patients could recognize their faulty thinking and choose new thoughts. As simple as it sounds, it was revolutionary at the time and it still remains a major part of psychiatry today. It is especially significant in the treatment of depression. I find it one of the best tools available to clarify one's thinking about anything.   Read the next section on thought distortions to see if you can uncover any in your own thinking. I think it is safe to say that we all have thought distortions, but we can eliminate them by recognizing and acknowledging them, and by beginning to ask better questions to get to the truth.   The key is learn to rise above thought distortions which always fall into those three main categories I mentioned—i.e., negative thoughts that are personal, pervasive, and permanent. The good news is that with clear, rational thinking you can spot these. However, it's always recommended to brainstorm what you are thinking about with a coach, mentor, counselor, or doctor to get real unbiased feedback.   THE COGNITIVE TRIAD   The Self – Is the self worthless or valuable? (Personal) The World/Environment – Is the world unfair, fair, or neutral? (Pervasive) The Future – Is the future hopeless or hopeful? (Permanent) Again, the most challenging problems are the ones that we convince ourselves are personal, pervasive, and permanent. Put those on your list to be eliminated.   TYPES OF THOUGHT DISTORTIONS   All-Or-Nothing Thinking   Engaging in black-or-white thinking. Thinking in extremes, such as all good or all bad, with nothing in the middle. Selective Abstraction   Selecting one idea or fact from an event while ignoring other facts in order to support negative thinking. Mind Reading   Believing that we know the thoughts in another person's mind. Negative Prediction   Believing that something bad is going to happen even though there is no evidence to support this prediction. Catastrophizing   Exaggerating the potential or real consequences of an event and becoming fearful of the consequences. Overgeneralization   Making a rule based on a few negative or isolated events and then applying it broadly. Labeling   Creating a negative view of oneself based on errors or mistakes that one has made. This is a type of overgeneralizing which affects one's view of oneself. Magnification   Exaggerating an imperfection into something greater than it is. Minimization   Making a positive event much less important than it really is. Personalization   Taking a common or general event and relating it to oneself thus making a connection where one really doesn't exist. I've found this list of Thought Distortion Types to be extremely valuable for myself and my clients as a reference guide to help spot thoughts you are thinking that are not good for you, not good for others, and don't serve the greater good. More importantly, since they are Thought Distortions, they are not true. And I believe that all progress starts with telling yourself the truth. Or as an old mentor said to me one day: “Robert, you might as well start with the truth because you are going to end with it.” Sage advice indeed.

Every day our brain offers us 60,000 thoughts and most of them are not helpful. How do you filter through them to find the ones to pay attention to?Listen to this episode to see where your thought errors are.

Most people in recovery have or have had lives filled with chaos on dysfunction. When we're surrounded by chaos, we're frequently "activated" as if on alert, which means it's hard to think clearly. One of the ways our thinking gets distorted is that we see things only in stark contrast - like the stark contrast between the colors black and white. In order to be able to see and experiences the nuances of life (the gray area) we have to slow down, stop dissociating and  become calm. Reaching out to others to get feedback on our perspective is also helpful.

In this 50th episode, I take more time than usual to answer a variety of listener questions. In addition to grief, depression, unmanageability and boundaries, I address perfectionism, black-and-white thinking and how I became able to make healthier choices. I also reflect on my experience of doing this podcast for a year.★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Recovery is about making choices in our lives, not living with rigid control. I share a continuum that goes from being in denial and practicing rigid control, to having greater choice when we use discernment. I also share about how victim mentality is related to control since those with victim mentality often don't recognize that they have choices. Having and making choices about our lives is one of the many freedoms of recovery and you can learn more about how to discern your choices in this episode.★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
