High on Life

E121. "How Limiting Beliefs are Sabotaging Your Weight Loss" with Dr. Sasha High

Listen Later

In today’s episode of High on Life, Dr. Sasha High continues her series on self-sabotage in weight loss, focusing specifically on limiting beliefs. These are the thoughts and stories we tell ourselves that hold us back and keep us stuck in patterns that sabotage our health and weight loss goals. Dr. High discusses common limiting beliefs, such as “I’ll never lose weight,” “It’s too hard for me,” and even situational beliefs like “Vegas is Vegas.” She explains how these automatic, often subconscious thoughts shape our actions and outcomes.

Key Takeaways:

  1. Your Thoughts Shape Your Reality: If you believe weight loss is too hard, it will be. By questioning your limiting beliefs, you can start to make changes that align with your goals.
  2. Thoughts Are Not Facts: Recognizing that thoughts are just beliefs we’ve internalized opens up the possibility for change.
  3. Thought Dump Exercise: A practical exercise where listeners can write down all their thoughts on a topic, identify the most painful or limiting thought, and then question it to open up new, empowering beliefs.
  4. The Power of Small Actions: You don’t need to be overly positive; you just need enough resilience to take the next small step.
  5. Questioning Limiting Beliefs: Asking yourself questions like “Is this true?” and “What else could be true?” can lead to new perspectives and better choices.
