You have to brainwash yourself. On purpose. In the best possible way.

The toddler committee in my head has been running the show for a long time. And as I have been making changes on this comeback there have been moments where I found myself standing in the pantry or almost grabbing something off the counter that had nothing to do with my goals. And I realized in those moments that willpower alone was never going to be enough.

I needed to fill my head with something better.

In this episode I talk about the practice of intentional brainwashing — putting healthy voices in your ears and keeping them there. Not just I AM statements on a sticky note. Audiobooks. Podcasts. Music. Content that keeps reminding you of your why and telling you the truth about how your body and brain are actually changing.

I also share how I approach learning a new topic — hyperfixating, reading fast to let it wash over me, then going back slowly to let it soak from my mind into my heart. And I share the book that changed everything for me the first time I wrote my own health comeback story.

Find the voice you need to hear in this season. Let her be a big sister to you. Let her words go in so many times they start to become your own thoughts.

What we cover:

• Why willpower alone is never enough and what to do instead
• The difference between information getting into your mind and truth getting into your heart
• How to hyperfixate on one topic to accelerate real transformation
• The resource inside our coaching app that is full of the science and psychology of true habit change
• Why this podcast series exists and what Leslie hopes it does for you
• The book that changed everything for Leslie on her first health comeback and the author she may have completely fan girled when she met
  

Your tiny step from this episode:
Pick one voice. One book, one podcast series, one resource that speaks directly to where you are right now. Put it in your ears today. And commit to coming back to it again and again until it moves from your head into your heart.
