#198 - The Year of Building Evidence


Listen Later

What if 2026 isn’t about trying harder—but about building better evidence?

In this first episode of the year, we’re talking about how your brain looks for proof to support what it already believes—and how that’s been shaping your experience with weight loss, habits, and self-trust.

You’ll learn why you’re not just observing your behavior… you’re reinforcing a story. And how, with intention, you can begin building evidence that actually serves you.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
  • Why your brain is always trying to prove you right

  • How long-held beliefs shape what you notice about yourself

  • A personal story that illustrates how changing a thought changes your experience

  • How this shows up in weight loss and “falling off plan”

  • A simple 3-step practice to help you build new evidence in 2026

    Scripture Mentioned:

    “As a man thinks in his heart, so is he.” — Proverbs 23:7

    “Be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” — Romans 12:2

    The 3 Steps to Start Building Better Evidence:

    1. Do a Thought Download
    Write your name or your weight at the top of a page.
    Write one sentence per line of everything your brain thinks about you and weight loss.

    2. Notice Thoughts as Thoughts
    Practice saying:
    “Look at me thinking I can’t lose weight this year.”
    These are thoughts—not facts.

    3. Build Evidence on Purpose
    Start noticing every time you:

    • Stick to your plan

    • Follow through

    • Don’t quit after a mistake

      Stop making missteps mean something about who you are.

      A Word of Encouragement

      You don’t need a new personality.
      You don’t need more discipline.
      You need a new story—and the evidence to support it.

      As you think in your heart, so you become.
