Nourish and Nurture: Creating Healthy Resilient People Before Crisis Hits

This episode explains the biological and psychological reasons we tend to self-sabotage.

You are not broken or lacking in self-control, self-sabotage is NORMAL and how the brain is hard-wired.

But we need to understand it to manage it.

Find out why we self-sabotage and the strategies I teach clients to minimise it, so that they can achieve lasting weight loss and well-being.

A short and sweet summary of why you really need to attend to mood management in order to maximise your fat loss success.

We need to manage our emotions before they manage us...so often when trying to lose weight we get derailed because of how we feel and being unable to reduce anxiety, stress, overwhelm.

In fact we often avoid or suppress how we feel...usually through various forms of self-sabotage such as emotional eating, overspending, overtraining...we try to bury our feelings.

Aside from overeating calories...

Emotional eating...

Not expending enough energy via NEAT or training...

Or lacking effective stress management tools...

The REAL barrier is your own mindset around change ...specifically self-limiting beliefs around your ability to change, a programme that will bring about that change (ie weight loss and all the mental and physical health benefits that brings).

Once you realise this you can begin to act in spite of those beliefs and get cracking on losing those unwanted pounds and feel confident and competent at the HOW to manage your weight in the long term.

Rather than thinking you're going to 'fail again', just to weight loss the right way and you'll never need to diet again...and by investing in your present and future self you will reap the rewards in terms of health and well-being because you will have the knowledge and strategies to implement that knowledge.

This episode covers Worry - it's nature and effects on thoughts, emotions and behaviours.

Worry is a bit of a sneaky thing in that it can be disguised as strategizing, planning or simply 'what if'ing and we rarely spot we are doing it, or even count the costs.

Here I break down worry its sub-types and the strategies you can employ to manage it more effectively to reduce distress and therefore remove another potential emotional challenge you can face during your weight loss journey.

Let me know which strategies you are going to give a go!

Coach Sarah x

- What Cognitive behaviour therapy is.

- What aspects of our mood and mindset it serves to help.

- The importance of spotting patterns that could be impacting on your eating, work or relational behaviours.

As a CBT Practitioner of 18 years I wanted to describe what CBT is and how it can help you in terms of understanding and managing mood, mindset and behaviours that might not be serving you.

I talk about therapeutic techniques with my clients in order to remove emotional barriers that are driving them to emotionally eat or self-sabotage in other ways, so that they can overcome those barriers and smash their weight loss and wellbeing goals.
