The Most Powerful Words Ever

Hello my sweet friend! I’ve got something important to chat with you about today…

If you’d rather listen to this post than read it, click here.

The most powerful words you can ever think or say are those which follow, “I am…”

All too often, we define ourselves not by who we actually are but by what we’ve done or our past pattern of behavior.

“I am an emotional eater”
“I am inconsistent”
“I am not motivated”

Look, that’s not who you are.

It might be what you’ve done, it might be your pattern of behavior but it is NOT who you are.

When you define yourself that way, you’re giving a direct instruction to your brain.

You are defining yourself with a limitation you don’t want to keep.

Yes, you might have a pattern of choosing food in response to emotion.
That’s not who you are and it’s not what you have to choose today.

Yes, you might have been inconsistent in the past.
That’s not who you are and it’s not what you have to choose today.

Yes, you might have struggled to motivate yourself in the past.
That’s not who you are and it’s not what you have to choose today.

You are capable.
You are in control of your choices.
You are working on daily improvements.

When you argue for your limitations, you get to keep them.
Choose your words & thoughts wisely!

How To Build More Self-Control

“If you conquer yourself, you can conquer the world” Paulo Coelho

If you rule over yourself, there is no door that won’t open for you.

Today I’m sharing a 7-day willpower challenge and explaining how we can be smart about our attempt to build more self-control.

Here are a few key points from today’s episode:

Self control builds self-esteem, not the other way around! If you want more self-esteem, build more self-control.

Will power gets stronger with use. Repeat decisions require less and less energy

Are you creating a willpower deficit? Identify opportunities to operate from a place of strength as opposed to constant willpower depletion.

252: Values & Principles – What Do You Want & How Do You Get It

Do you know what you really want?

I used to be incredibly frustrated with myself & confused: I desperately wanted to lose weight but I wasn’t doing the work.

How could I want something so bad yet continuously make choices which sabotaged that desire?

I figured it out: I didn’t really understand what I wanted & why.

Today we’re talking about values and principles because I strongly believe this is required work if we want consistency & progress.

This is one of my Fat Loss Fast Track veteran webinars where I challenged them to establish their values and principles and showed them how we experience tension & frustration when we aren’t thinking or acting in alignment with what we want most.

251: Justifying Indulgences (Talking Yourself Into Treats)

Let’s stop justifying indulgences. Let’s stop talking ourselves into treats when we want our goals more. Today, I’ll tell you how!

You don’t have to justify brussels sprouts or chicken, so why do you feel like you need to justify treats?

Beyond that, is the way you’re justifying them even true? Are you being honest with yourself with your justifications?

In today’s episode I’m talking about HOW you can stop justifying and start owning your choices, whether they’re aligned with your goals or not.
