Episode 49: Let's unpack our self-sabotaging tendencies, and what you can do about them.
Blog Description: Happy New Year from Marchelle and me!!
So many of us set weight loss goals and do well for a week or two, maybe even a month or two, or more ... and then something happens and we end up giving up on ourselves and our goals. If this has happened to you, you're not alone!
What's going on here? It turns out that human brains have a way of perceiving things that can really sabotage our progress! Tune in to this week's podcast to discover how this happens and what you can do about it so you can stay on track!
Epidode Highlights:
2:39 Almost all of us have this tendency for "all or nothing" thinking. So what I mean by this is that we think that things have to be one way or another. That's a normal human brain that does this. So think about it from an evolutionary perspective. We survived because we made quick judgements about whether something was dangerous or safe friend or foe. So our brains are hardwired to make these quick assessments.
5:26 So just be aware of this because in the real world, things are never either one way or another way. It's not good or bad. It's actually good and bad. Especially when it comes to human beings and our behavior. We're all of it. We're good and bad. We're competent and incompetent. We're generous and selfish. We can be motivated and we can be lazy. So understanding this is really important in the weight loss journey
9:18 This tendency of our brains to want to indulge in "all or none" thinking can really sabotage our weight loss journey. So to overcome this tendency in our own brains, I'd like to offer this thought. What if it's okay if our journey's a little bit messy? What if our journey can be filled with success and failure? What if we can be good at times and bad at times, and still reach our ultimate goal of thriving in a healthy, vibrant body that we're proud of?
