Ep. #6: The Power of Planning
When I was younger, I was a free spirit. I didn’t want to plan things out, because I thought it would hold me back. This mentality did not help me when it came to the diet roller coaster, though – I would eat whatever crossed my path, and wound up eating way more than I wanted to.
I’m still that free spirit today, but I’ve realized that planning is actually a source of freedom, not an obstacle to it. Every day, I create a realistic plan for what I’m going to eat. This tool has helped me (and my clients!) free ourselves from the lizard brain and from the diet roller coaster – for good.
Today I’m talking about the power of planning and why impulsive eating is more likely to happen when we don’t know what to expect from the day. You’ll learn why it’s so important that this plan be realistic (read: NOT a diet in disguise!), and how to keep it simple.
And here are this week’s transformational questions for you:
- What lizard thoughts came up when you started to think about making your realistic eating plan every day?
- Why will this be easy?
What You’ll Discover:
- How our thoughts can encourage us to overeat.
- Why planning is actually a source of incredible freedom, especially around food.
- What the realistic eating plan looks like and why it’s such a powerful tool.
- How you can learn to trust yourself again and rebuild your relationship with food.
