Clean This One Thing to Weigh & Drink Less

-


Hello to the weekend!  It’s rainy here today so it will be a good morning to stay inside and get some cleaning done.  You know - the really good cleaning where you move furniture around and really get all the dust bunnies out.  As I was making my plan it dawned on me to share an amazing cleaning tool which will help you as you work to drink less, and weigh less.

Mental health is so important yet how often do you take the time to clean out your brain?  Often times we don’t even realize that thoughts are causing us pain because we have just believed them for so long.  Perhaps you are struggling with embracing your new body, or sticking to a plan of only 2 drinks a night.  If you find yourself in this situation I encourage you to turn on the lights in your brain.  Take some time to clean out the corners, and really clean up your thinking.  The process can take as little as 15 minutes and if you start each day with a sprucing up you will see amazing results in accomplishing your goals.

The way you clean out your brain is by setting aside time to sit down and write every thought you are having on a piece of paper - dump of it all.  Don’t try to keep it to just the happy thoughts - really write down everything that comes to mind - the good, the bad, and the ugly.  Now - become the observer of all those thoughts.  These thoughts don’t define you, and once you get them out on paper look at them with fascination and compassion.  Next, take a look at the ones that are not helpful - decide if you really want to put them back in the brain, or toss them like the kitchen garbage.  All thoughts are optional, and you don’t have to keep the ones that aren’t serving you - isn’t that fantastic news?

You know how you sometimes find things stuck in your couch and you are like “wow - where did that come from?” - well you may find the same as you write all your thoughts down.  Sometimes we don’t even realize we are thinking a thought until we see it and then its like - WOW - I was thinking that?  No wonder I keep over drinking, or over eating.  The insights you gain from this cleaning out will take your work to the next level.  My friends, it is all a process of finding ways to live more, and feel better.  When you adapt a cleaning routine for your brain you will be amazed at how many dreams you can truly make 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 ...
