Confidence From Within

Episode 170. Do You Really Want To Release Weight?

In today's episode, we talk about the importance of having a clear reason for wanting to release excess weight. 

That is one of the first things I always ask women that come to my seeking weight release and I often hear similar answers such as "I want to get healthier", "I want to have more energy and vitality to do things I love", "I want to look better on my own skin and wear clothes I love".

And even though all those are beautiful, valid reasons, the purpose of this conversation is to go deeper and help you realize there might be a more subtle and meaningful reason you may not be completely aware of yet!

• The reasons why I believe most dieters fail to reach their goals and maintain them long-term
• Why it is so important to know the real reason why you want to release weight
• How to get closer to the real reason why you may want to drop some pounds

Episode 169. Releasing Unhelpful Labels & Tapping Into Authenticity

In today's episode, we talk about those identity labels that we place on ourselves or that we borrow from other people that end up dictating our lives.

A lot of times, these labels can leave us feeing stuck and unhappy, keeping us away from joy and fulfillment.

For today's episode, we focus on the labeling of self!

And many times when we label ourselves as something negative, such as "I am lazy", "I am unreliable", "I'm a procrastinator", etc, these statements are a simple reflection of the parts of you that you haven't yet found a way to love.

That is very much the wholeness of loving all parts of you; the ones that you feel measure up, as well as the ones that you perceive that don't, because they all serve a purpose in the perfection of the wholeness of who you are!

• Why the labels (good and/or bad) that you put on ourselves are often distractions from the truth of who we are
• The different indicators that you can use to identify whether a label you are wearing is not serving you anymore
• The importance of peeling off some labels that no longer serve us to in order to honor who we really are and release this thick layer of protection from feeling vulnerable for expressing our actual desires and wants

Episode 167. Negotiate With Your Mind To End Procrastination & Resolve Cravings

In today's episode, we explore a very unique topic. We talk about the minimum and maximum limits of our emotional weight threshold.

When it comes to our weight, we all have this internal gauge that tells us when we feel satisfied with the number on the scale or when we feel concerned or in need to do something about it.

If you are on a weight release journey, working towards this external marker, it is so easy to ease off and lose all the progress already made because you may feel comfortable enough! 

In this episode, I explain how you can avoid this issue and obtain the long-term weight release results you desire!

• What is the emotional weight threshold and why it is so important
• The reason why so many people struggle to maintain long-term results with their diets once they feel like they got close to their weight loss goals
• The reason why I usually discourage women from using the scale as a benchmark and a more effective way to quantify your progress in your weight release journey

Episode 166. Negotiate With Your Mind To End Procrastination & Resolve Cravings

In today's episode, I share with you my process for negotiating with my mind!

This is a very helpful technique to use when you're dealing with cravings, procrastination or anytime there is a little bit of conflict between what you know is going to be productive to get you closer to goals and what your mind wants or doesn't want to do.

This procedure can be applied to any area of life when your mind is getting in the way, such as if you're craving sweets and you know that by eating sugar, you will derail your weight release progress. Or, for example, if you are planning on going to the gym but you're really struggling to make it happen.

• My step by step process for negotiating with my mind to resolve cravings
• A very simple tip to help you obtain more self-governance and control over your decisions
• The importance of not trying to supress your cravings, but honor them instead
