Episode 63: Methods to ensure lasting weight-loss change.

Episode Description: Ever wonder why it is that you can be so "All In" on a new diet... do well for a few months, and then before you know it, you're back to your old ways? This happens to me all the time with organizing projects. I'm all gung ho to organize everything in my path, and then before I know it everything has returned to disorder.

It turns out, lasting change is hard for several important reasons. Tune in to today's podcast to discover these reasons and what you can do to ensure that the changes that you want to make are LASTING!

Episode Highlights: 03:41 Our thoughts are what creates our reality. All of us are creating everything in our lives because of the things that we're thinking. And so that's actually a really profound understanding.

09:08 Our primitive brains do not like change. Now, remember, I always talk about the primitive brain and then the human brain. So the primitive brain is all about survival and seeking pleasure in the moment, avoiding pain in the moment and staying comfortable and safe. So your primitive brain get super nervous about any kind of change because your primitive brain is afraid that if anything changes, you're going to die.

10:52 So I want everybody listening to understand order to make any significant change in your life, you have to do two very hard things. ***The first thing you have to do is to overcome the tendency of the primitive brain to want to stay safe, i.e. predictable and keep things the way they are. And you have to let go of old beliefs about yourself that are running 90 miles an hour and develop new beliefs that feel very unfamiliar and insecure. Is that making sense?
