Fat loss is 90% what you eat. What you eat is 90% mental. If you don’t control your thoughts, they will control you. This is very clear when we consider all the times we’ve really wanted to make good food choices but cave to temptation in the moment. Controlling your thoughts isn’t just about positive thinking – in fact, positive thinking often falls far short. This is where power thinking comes into play. In this episode we talk about why positive thinking isn’t enough and how power thinking can make a huge difference in your life regardless of your goal.
Listen Now!
The Difference between positive thinking & power thinking
- positive thinking: framing your thoughts in a positive manner despite any doubt and disbelief in your rational mind or your heart
- power thinking: choosing to frame a situation in a way that is both useful & empowering to you
- based on premise that everything is neutral & we choose to assign values or emotions every event and circumstance

Secrets of the Millionaire Mind by T. Harv Eker
I really like the idea of Power Thinking versus Positive Thinking. I always felt like I am trying to feed myself a load of BS when I speak positively to myself. However the idea the I have a choice, everything is neutral and I assign meaning is something I understand and agree with. Who is the author and what’s the book you referenced? Thanks for all you do. It’s helping me change.
