Ep. #78: Why Change Can Feel Hard in Weight Loss
Now ladies, I have to tell you, as this episode opens, we are closing the doors to Transform on March 26, and I don’t want you to miss out. So make sure if you’re listening before March 26th that you get in. We have so many amazing things like our virtual event in April and you know my love, I don’t want you to miss out. So go to bflycoaching.com/join.
Today I am talking about the brain. You know I love talking about the brain. I’m a little bit of a nerd for sure, but I love talking about the brain and how we’re wired. Our primitive brain, I call mine Lizzie, is wired to keep us safe, wired to keep us from danger. Think about the cave days, there was a lot of danger. Danger of the elements, lack of shelter, food, water. Lizzie is just responsible for our fight or flight response. But in today’s world Lizzie gets bored and so change has become danger. Whenever anything changes our Lizzie brain tends to go to this worst case scenario and we resist the change.
Join me today as I dive into why we are resistant to change, and I give you 3 tips to lose weight for good and get off the diet roller coaster. Why we are so resistant to feeling our feelings. How we are all just playing in the puddle because we don’t want to do the work to lose weight for the last time. I want you to get out of that old way of thinking and stop listening to that record player playing over and over in your brain. All these thoughts are just words and sentences in your brain. You get to decide today to believe it or just let it go.
This weeks transformational questions:
- What change are you resisting right now?
- What successes have you had?
- How have you already changed in the last 5, 10, 15, 20 years?
What You’ll Discover:
- How our brain (Lizzie) makes us think that change is danger
- Just because you think a thought does not make it true
- Even though our brains are wired to resist change does not mean that you can’t change
