WHAT IS INADEQUACY AND WHAT DOES IT FEEL LIKE?
-An inability to deal with a situation or with life

-Being deficient or lacking

-You can feel this socially, sexually, physically, emotionally, professionally
HOW DO YOU KNOW IF YOU'RE BEING IMPACTED NEGATIVELY BY IT?
-Causes withdrawal

-Causes resistance or procrastination

-Causes small thinking

-Causes overwhelm

-Causes negativity

-Causes anxiety

-Causes stagnancy

-Causes increased comparison and decreased satisfaction
IDENTIFY YOUR THOUGHT PATTERNS + TAKE ACTION
-Pay attention to the thoughts that make you feel "less than" and then start a list

-You have to know your specific feelings in order to detox them properly

-If you don't know what you're battling, you'll fight the wrong enemy (I just need to be more disciplined vs. I am doing well and will continue to do well)

-Know that inadequacy often stems from all-or-nothing thinking or extreme thinking
5 PROACTIVE WAYS TO WIRE YOUR BRAIN FOR CONFIDENCE

* Structure your day around a "power thought."
* Simplify your expectations by clarifying your "why" and your desired outcome in a situation.
* Stop comparing yourself to others.
* Saturate your day with "wins"
* Slow down

Comparison is a fast-track to unhappiness and inadequacy.
SAMPLES OF POWER THOUGHTS TO FIGHT AGAINST INADEQUACY:
I am doing better than I think I am.

I am making progress, and progress begets more progress, so I will celebrate my forward momentum rather than focus on where I wish I were instead.

I choose to be present and grateful.

I will win the day.

I am strong.

I will tap into my personal power today.

I am more capable than I think I am.

I have come beautifully far and I am not intimidated by how far I have yet to go.

God made me and that makes me who I need to be. I am qualified by Him.

THE SECRET:
-Beauty

-The appreciation of beauty

-The abundance of beauty

-The watering of beauty

-The slowing down over beauty

-The pace of life that provokes beauty

-When you see beauty, speak it
LA VIE EST BELLE
-Encompasses everything about what drew me to France in the first place

-Looking at it from an adult's perspective, I see that she always has a choice

-Make a decision about what kind of life you want to life

-Based on that decision, determine your mindset

-Remember, no one applauds over tiny shifts - it takes time to see the results you want and that will be noticed
ACTIVATION OF BEAUTY FOR MYSELF AND MY FAMILY
-Pursuing a beautiful relationship and marriage

-Living out a beautiful marriage

-Activating our dreams of what a beautiful lifestyle looks like (in Ashburn)

-Keeping memories together

-Adjusting expectations to allow for as much beauty possible
WHY BEAUTIFUL LIVING WORKS FOR ME
-It helps me set my priorities and know the difference between priorities and preferences

-My stress is reduced = my body weight is more aligned

-I have learned to change my relationship with food and with pleasure

-The focus of beauty keeps my life simple and uncomplicated - helps me say 'no' when I need to

-Beautiful living is not measurable or able to be compared - therefore there is no finish line, no accomplishment, no comparison. It has helped me detox perfectionism from my life.

LISTENER OF THE EPISODE:
Hi Trish,

I’ve discovered your podcasts about 3 months ago and I really love listening to them. I think you are doing an amazing job and I feel so identified in the younger you.

I am 21 and I rationally know I have an amazing life. I am attending the University of my dreams, I am healthy and I have a great and supportive family. Yet, I cant be happy and enjoy it because I am (and edpecially feel) fat. Ive been having food issues and low self esteem for 3 years now and I would really love to beat this and just be happy.

I was wondering if you could make some more podcasts about loving yourself...

WHY FOOD AS A TOPIC TODAY?
My family and I are preparing to spend half of May in France – I am researching the French relationship with food, beauty and their bodies – plus we are getting to expose the kids to French and to visit old friends and attend a proper French wedding. France is ground zero of my true start of a beautiful life, and so it only makes sense that I go back and reinvestigate what opened my eyes to realizing that food wasn’t the enemy – it was my approach to food that had caused me so much pain, struggle and turmoil – it was in France that, for the first time, I realized that food was a relationship and that it could be a beautiful one.
WHAT IS YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH FOOD?
Do you think about food more than you think you should?

Do you have restrictions around food that cause you stress?

Do you ever feel anxious about whether or not you will eat the correct portion?

Do you feel guilty after eating?

Do you worry about your calorie intake?

Do you categorize some foods as “bad”?

Do you feel “free” and at ease around food?
IMPROVE YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THESE LITTLE STEPS:
Let go of guilt

Forgive yourself for choices that didn’t serve you

Always look for ways to learn about yourself

Explore and be curious

Understand where your food comes from

Pray over your food – be thankful for each hand that went into getting it to you

Have gratitude for the abundance of food you have accessible

Let go of the vicious all-or-nothing cycle

Give yourself permission to enjoy your food

Eat around other people

Slow down while you eat

Eat with minimal distraction – learn to pay attention to your food

Stop categorizing food as “good” or “bad”
HOW TO STOP MORALIZING FOOD
All or nothingness gets you nowhere.

Trendy diets are dangerous.

Everyone needs something different.

All food serves us in some way.

Be kind to yourself – don’t expect perfection.

Let go of guilt.
