The Real Deal On Urges
Having a human brain means that we will have urges.
I know… womp womp womp.
No one likes having urges that seem so relentless that you end up throwing back a sleeve of cookies in your pantry… I get it.
But what about "urges" seems to keep us all in the dark and mystified?
Why do they seem so complicated to overcome?
The truth is having urges is normal.
Even as you lose weight and you are on your journey to keep it off…
HAVING URGES IS NORMAL!
So- what do you need to understand to keep your urges in check?
The simple answer is that we all have a primitive brain that is designed to keep us alive and avoid harm (like taking away our rewards).
However…
Understanding how that primitive brain works (a-hem like a toddler in a grocery store) is the secret to understanding and overcoming certain urges.
In this special episode, I'm sharing an actual training that I did with my Real Weight Loss Challenge on urges.
This is not about resisting and fighting urges.
It is about learning how to identify urges and make it easier to actually decondition the desire we have for this reward or instant gratification.
Let's get to it.
