Today's episode title might make your anxiety spike, as I'm sure you're already thinking, "As a parent, I need to ensure my young person is educated, I need to teach them to be kind and moral people, AND I have to help them develop their natural talents and interests...and now I also need to add growing their sense or purpose to the list? I can't do it all!" But I'm here to tell you that without focusing on your young person's sense of purpose, then everything else you attempt to teach them will all be for nothing. Why? Because without a sense of purpose, all the good things you attempt to teach your young person will not get absorbed. A sense of purpose gives your young person an understanding of how they fit into their family unit, their peer group, and into the larger world around them. Your young person has to know that they play a valuable role in those three areas in order to use their natural talents and abilities successfully AND to build warm and positive relationships with those around them. This episode is for you if your young person struggles with the following: Lack of motivation Anxiety Depression Low self-esteem Poor friendships Living a "shallow life" (i.e., just interested in social media, Youtube, or video games). In this episode, you'll learn: [5:57] Why a lack of a sense of purpose is so destructive for your young person [6:28] How developing a sense of purpose creates a domino effect of other positive changes for your young person [8:37] The definition of the domino effect [12:02] Why taking the time to develop your young person's sense of purpose is so important [17:31] My six tips on how to use daily interactions with your young person to help develop their sense of purpose [31:30] Putting it all together with an example.

Episode 11. Today's episode I dive into 3 tips to improve your relationship with food that you may not have considered. Free Resources Mentioned in this Episode Anti-Diet Pep Talk: Struggling to regain control of your eating? Grab this audio guide to walk you through the steps to regain control and get in touch with your body in an anti-diet way. 1. Consider Your Environment, But Not in the Typical Way Yes, our food environment 100% matters. However, I want to talk about your social environment. You often hear me talk about autonomy as a key psychological need for long-term habit change. My question for you is, is your environment supporting your autonomy? Or is it consistently thwarting it? Have the Conversations with a Plan I often talk to folks who are in relationships where they don't feel free to be themselves, or they feel constantly criticized or judged for their decisions, food or otherwise. If you have people in your life playing the "food police" and you haven't taken the time to calmly explain to them why it's unhelpful, now is a great time to do so. Even if they don't change their behavior, you have calmly asserted yourself and given yourself the message that your feelings matter, as does your autonomy. I also often talk to folks about assertive communication. Assertive communication often gets confused with aggression or confrontation. But assertiveness is actually the exact opposite of this. It's communicating in a way that's respectful of the other person and of yourself. It isn't blaming or shaming, but simply stating the facts based on your experience. Assertive Communication Example Instead of angrily saying, "that isn't helpful! You are just making things worse!" you could try something like: "When you comment on my eating, it makes me feel self-conscious and anxious. It would be more helpful if you could not say anything." or "I have a hard time not judging myself and trusting my body and it's important for me to learn to do this. I know you think you are helping, but the best way to help is to [help me plan the meals at the beginning of the week]" (Or enter in whatever would be helpful to you). As essential component of gaining autonomy is having the freedom of choice without excessive pressure to behave in a certain way. I recently did a podcast interview with Annyck Besso, MA, RD, a registered dietitian with a master's in dietetics and we talked all about Health At Every Size and some of the myths about it. Although with any community and social movement there can be polarized views, the messaging is that fat and body size acceptance is a way to decrease the focus on weight and size as the sole measure of health, and broaden the circle to what actually impacts health. 2. Recognize Where the Lack of Trust Comes From "But Shawn, I can't control myself with food. Look at how often I'm binge eating." Often, this lack of trust truly comes from being physiologically undernourished. It also often is caused by repeated dieting even at calorie levels that we have been told for years is "healthy" (e.g., 1200 calories, 1500 calories). In a few more week's my podcast interview with Annyck Besso, MA, RD will come out and we debunk the myth that 1200 calories is "enough" food. Additionally, it can come from years of feeling that (and often being told that) you "failed" because you failed to lose weight and keep it off (like 95% of others as well, yet most often we blame ourselves). 3. Speak Your Shame (in Trusted Places) There is a reason so many people eat in response to stress. When I ran my group called the "Healthy Living Group" it was often also called the stress eating group. I have never had so many people self-disclosure that they needed my group. Often in a joking way, but stress eating is incredibly common. The more I do this work and reflect on how we are doing as a field and on my personal experience and work with clients,

Back on Track Pep Talk: Struggling to regain control of your eating without dieting? Grab this audio guide to walk you through the steps. Autonomy is the Jam As someone who worked for years trying to help people lose weight, the stats are simply not inspiring. The cool thing is, we do understand a lot about what TYPE of motivation facilitates long-term behavior change and even weight loss maintenance. When women participating in a health program had autonomous motivation for exercise, they continued to exercise and maintained their weight loss 3 years later (Silva et al., 2011). So, there is actual data that making this shift translates into behavior change over quite a long period of time. If that doesn't encourage you to gain this type of motivation for yourself, I don't know what would. What is Autonomous Motivation Really? Do You Always Have to Love What You Are Doing? A common misconception when I talk about internal/autonomous motivation is that it means you always love everything you are doing all day every day. Intrinsic motivation does mean that you get inherent satisfaction from the behavior. But there are other essentially important types of Internal or Autonomous motivation too. These include Integrated and Identified motivation. Essentially, these types boil down to choosing a behavior because it's consistent with your values and the person you want to be. 5 Ways to Shift from "Should" to "Want To" (or "Choose To") Ok Shawn, great. How do I get more autonomous motivation for a habit I want to shift? I'm so glad you asked. Here are some strategies to help with this. The good news? Sometimes it only takes one! 1. Reflect on How Its Helpful to You (Well, first make sure it is helpful, then reflect on this): If you want to get yourself to meal prep more, change how you talk to yourself about it. Instead of telling yourself you "should" do it and if you don't you're lazy, remind yourself of how it makes you feel when you do. For example, if you feel more confident, in control, and less stressed on weeks when you meal prep, remind yourself of this. 2. Evaluate How and Where the Shoulds are Coming From: There are a TONS of ways diet culture, societal pressure, and equating weight with health undermine our autonomy and feelings of control. It's ok to be mad about it, because it likely is holding you back, maybe just a little, or maybe to a great extent from true body respect and health. It makes me incredibly mad when I think about it, all the things I missed out on due to worry about dieting. Give yourself a moment, journal about it, vent to someone you trust. Just naming it and acknowledging it helps to remove it as the barrier that it has been. 3. Remind Yourself You Have a Choice. Here comes the autonomy, my friends. A lot of times the external shoulds from diet culture or society get internalized, this is "introjected motivation" (see image above) which is associated with short term change and sporadic change, at best. This often leads to the "I'll start again on Monday" thought and fits and starts of taking care of ourselves. Although we are at times fighting an uphill battle, we can reclaim autonomy by changing how we talk to ourselves. 4. Ask Yourself How You Want to Feel? Ask "How do I want to feel at the end of my day or week?" This can work for pesky work tasks you're avoiding, meal prep, any "should" task that is hanging over your head, really! Humans are motivated by emotions, not logic, so focusing on the feeling in a self supportive way can be incredibly useful. 5. Challenge Perfectionism/All-or-Nothing Thinking: This mindset is PERVASIVE in how we approach weight loss or "lifestyle change.

Are you finding yourself doing everything in your business?
