Clean Out The Old Thoughts

-
As you take time to reflect over the past year I want you to keep in mind the past does not affect you today. This is an interesting concept so it may take some time to set in. The only way your past exists is in your thoughts about it now. So what you are currently thinking about it affects you, but what happened to you in the past does not. So how do you want to tell your story moving forward?
All your thoughts are optional. Most have been programmed unconsciously and are good ones to keep - for example - brush your teeth and shower, look both ways before crossing a street, it’s good to be kind. Some thoughts however, are not useful, as you look forward to your new year and staying on track for your goals. These thoughts may include - it’s nearly impossible to lose weight, it’s always more fun drinking, I can't do that. So what do you want to program in your brain?
Think about all these thoughts and decide on purpose which ones you will want to keep in the New Year. Similar to cleaning out your closets - clean out your brain today and keep the good thoughts that serve you - toss the old ones. Your past only predicts your future if you believe it does. If you believe your past was perfect as is, and made you what you are today, you can move on from trying to argue with it and get going on making your dreams come true!

How To Stay Out Of Grab-Ass Trouble

I was recently talking with a girlfriend who is in the process of checking out Match for some dating options.  She had a lot going on in her brain, and it had me thinking what marriage, weighing less, or drinking less, have in common.  Being married to one person decreases the chatter in your brain and gives you a lot of freedom with the constraint.  You have committed to that one person - you don’t have to deal with any Tinder swipes, or Match parings - the marriage has taken place, and for the most part, people just honor that commitment. Now - when I talk to clients about setting a protocol for food or drinks there is initially some confusion over what is meant.  Think of a protocol similar to a marriage in that it is a contract, or plan, you are honoring - a commitment to yourself as you move towards your best life.  We set protocols for eating and drinking in order to decrease the chatter of - should I have it, or - I should not have had that, or -...

Are Other People Judging Your Drinking?

May I have all my people pleasers step forward - this is for you.  I think so  many of us care what others think - and often  to the point that you do and act in ways you really don’t want to - but you think if you do they will like you. Here’s what I’ve learned - it doesn’t matter what you do - people are always going to have their own thoughts about you. And if you don’t believe me - think about this -  Have you ever been given a compliment you didn’t really believe or accept because you didn’t think you looked that good?  Have you ever been in an argument and the other person apologized but you didn’t think they were serious and remained angry? Or maybe been on the other side where you apologized and the other person was still angry? So you did and said what you thought was going to make them feel differently - but they didn’t - because they still had their own same thoughts. Not everybody likes peaches right? You could be the juiciest peach ...

Better In the Trash Than on Your Ass

Welcome back to Mindful Weighs Wednesday where we discuss weight loss topics and tools to create the best you. I was recently listening to another weight loss coach who mentioned the food was better in the trash than on your ass.  Of course I chuckled, but it is so true.  Growing up we were always told to finish what was on the plate, but in our large portion society we have to sometimes waste food in order to stay at our ideal weight.   We hate to waste right? But if you are carrying around the extra weight as fat on your body isn't that a waste?   Think about the commitment you have made to yourself.  You have started taking the steps to make decisions in advance by planning your meals, and you eat until you are no longer hungry.  You have a compelling reason you are doing this, and you don’t want to waste your efforts for past beliefs.  I encourage you to remain future focused and really keep thinking about what you want to ...
