Believe Me - Time to Change the Record

-


Did you know you can believe anything you want?  No, really - you can!  How fantastic is that?  My teacher, Brooke Castillo, reminds us of this all the time.  Do you recall what a broken record did - it would repeatedly skip back to a moment and keep replaying the same part over and over and over.  Eventually someone would have to get up and make an adjustment on the player, or get rid of the record entirely.  We are able to do that with your beliefs as well.  

What we believe and focus our mind on is a choice.  Often times we just think “that’s how I am”, or believe the stance we take is just there, making us us.  What we currently believe is based on our past.  If you want to create a different future you need to create something that hasn’t existed, which would entail changing your current belief system.  This requires consciousness, and deciding on purpose to change what you want to believe.  Here’s the thing - if you already believed it, you would have that result. 

This is important because if you are trying to drink less or weigh less and catch yourself saying “I’ve tried that and it didn’t work, so I know it won’t work”, you might as well kiss the dream goodbye.  You need to start believing something you’ve never believed before.  Check this out - you can believe you are 100% worthy, you can believe you totally got it this time, you can believe you are successful, fun and amazing.  You know what else - you don’t need anyones approval to do so!  

So if you believe whatever you want, and your beliefs determine your results, you can truly create whatever you want!  Developing a new belief system may not be easy at first.  The first thing to do will be to take a moment and visualize what you want to believe.  Next, create a sentence in your mind and believe it as true.  Practice and repeat this new belief in order to have it become your new tune.  Remember - you had the broken record on that player for years.  Now is your time to get up off the couch, put the wine and chocolate down, and change it.  I believe when you do this, your life will top the charts!     


Each week I offer 2 free mini sessions, first come first serve, to women who want to drink less, and end the negative chatter in the morning.  Sign up here to discuss how my program may help you feel more in control of your life.  Once you sign up you will receive a call in number and appointment reminder.  Some may not be a fit, and that is fine - I consider it a privilege to offer free help in advance.

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 ...
