EMOTIONAL BRAIN DRAMA AROUND FOOD IS LIKE AN MMA FIGHT INSIDE YOUR BRAIN WITH ITSELF.

-





Hello beautiful friends!!!

 Has your brain been occupied by "emotional brain drama" around food or anything else in your life this week?  The arguments, the negotiations in your head....
EMOTIONAL BRAIN DRAMA IS LIKE AN MMA FIGHT
 INSIDE YOUR BRAIN WITH ITSELF. 

 IT'S ESSENTIALLY LETTING THE SURVIVAL PART OF YOUR BRAIN RUN THE SHOW INTO A SPIRAL OF SELF-DEFEATING RESULTS. 

 THAT PART OF YOUR BRAIN IS ONLY CONCERNED ABOUT SURVIVAL & CREATES LOTS OF TENSION IN YOUR BODY & EMOTIONALLY HIJACKS YOUR ACCESS TO RATIONAL THOUGHT IN THE PRE-FRONTAL CORTEX.

 WHEN YOU ARE FEELING TENSION IN YOUR BODY, THAT'S A CLUE THAT THE SURVIVAL BRAIN IS HEADING UP THE SHOW.

 This is important to know because: 

 EMOTIONAL BRAIN DRAMA SUCKS ALL OUR MENTAL & THEN PHYSICAL ENERGY UP...AND EXHAUSTS US.

 AND MY FRIENDS, IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE THAT WAY!!

 THIS IS WHAT EMOTIONAL BRAIN DRAMA CAN SOUND LIKE:

 "I shouldn't have said that to that person, shoot, they are going to be upset with me."

 Then your brain spends time beating yourself up.

 or

 "I feel like I need to go to all these events to support my family or friends but I'd way rather stay home--I'm an introvert, I really need my re-charge time, but I feel so compelled to please others..."

 and then your brain beats you up & argues back and forth with itself... 

 or 

 "I ate emotionally last night & I know better & I was just stressed because I had so much on my plate."

 Then your brain spends time & energy arguing with itself and probably beating you up?

 "I really want to help my friend or family member, but I'm so tired, it's so hard to say no."


Then your brain feels terrible the next day because you are overly exhausted & it may beat you up & tell you that you should've gone to bed instead.

 This type of emotional brain drama, the arguing with ourselves energy, the beating ourselves up energy is such a time suck. It's such a life suck. It's such a spirit suck.

 One of my clients recently told me that through the coaching she's been doing with me & all the changes she's learning to make in her thinking & emotional processing, she's starting to realize: 

 SHE JUST DOESN'T HAVE TIME FOR THE EMOTIONAL BRAIN DRAMA. SHE JUST DOESN'T HAVE TIME FOR THE EXHAUSTION OF THE ARGUMENTS & BEATING HERSELF UP IN HER HEAD ANY MORE. 

 SHE DOESN'T WANT TO PUT THE ENERGY & ENERGY INTO LETTING EMOTIONAL BRAIN DRAMA RUN THE SHOW. 

 THIS IS HUGE!!!

 When we start to learn to observe our brains compassionately & realize how doing that leads to really being in charge of our own brain & our own thoughts...

 MAGIC HAPPENS. YOU ARE THE QUEEN OF YOUR WEIGHT-LOSS, BODY, CHOICES, WORLD & RESULTS.
3 KILLER TIPS TO NOT GET SUCKED INTO THE EMOTIONAL BRAIN DRAMA:

 1. NOTICE WHEN YOU ARE FEELING TENSION IN YOUR BODY (REMEMBER THIS IS THE INDICATOR THAT SURVIVAL BRAIN IS AT PLAY NOT YOUR PRE-FRONTAL CORTEX). STEP 1: JUST NOTICE IT. DON'T JUDGE IT. BE AWARE. 

 2. TAKE A STEP BACK & BREATHE DEEPLY 3-4 TIMES, SLOWLY. RESET YOUR BRAIN & GIVE IT A CHANCE TO THINK MORE OBJECTIVELY.

 3. QUESTION THE THOUGHTS YOUR BRAIN IS THINKING WITH LOVE & CURIOSITY  YOU WHEN YOU ARE FEELING TENSION, FEAR OR INSECURITY...THESE ARE USUALLY ALL ASSOCIATED WITH SURVIVAL BRAIN THINKING. (THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH SURVIVAL BRAIN THINKING, WE NEED IT, BUT IT DOESN'T HELP US CHOOSE OR BE OUR BEST SELF. 

 WHAT IF YOU COULD GET TO THE POINT WHERE YOU REALIZE YOU HAVE THE CONTROL TO ENGAGE IN THE EMOTIONAL BRAIN DRAMA

How to Stop the Lies Your Brain Tells You About Weight-Loss

I've always been the type of gal who likes to do well at things. I didn't always have to get an A++, but I'm not going to lie, I did try and I like to work hard, I like to be successful and I have picked up on a lot of things in life sorta quickly, not all, but many. This is a pattern I've noticed about myself...I like to excel and I like to excel quickly. When something takes me longer than my instinctive brain thinks it should take me to excel, the more survival parts of my brain throw a bit of a tantrum and start to make me feel like, well, that I suck. Do you notice this in yourself? You love to do well. You love to be on your A-game. You love to succeed quickly? You do really well in so many areas of your life and when you don't do well quickly in an area of your life, your brain shames you or isn't very nice to you? If so, you just may be human. Has this happened to you with weight-loss? You're successful in so many areas of

3 TOP TIPS TO BREAK THROUGH WEIGHT-LOSS PLATEAUS

We all come to times in our weight-loss journey that we "plateau" & it seems like the scale has "stopped moving". This can feel confusing & or frustrating...but it doesn't have to. There can be many things involved when we plateau. I'm going to share the top 3 "PLATEAU PROBLEMS" I see with my clients & that I saw in my own journey. #1 PLATEAU PROBLEM: YOUR SELF-DOUBT THOUGHTS: We stopped believing weight-loss was possible. WE LOST SIGHT OF THE BALL. We got caught up in self-doubt, the old thought patterns crept in like: "This never worked before, this isn't going to work now." or "Oh man, I just fell off the wagon, I might as well eat all weekend & start on Monday".        ...or different flavors of these thoughts. WHAT TO DO INSTEAD:  **GET YOUR EYE BACK ON THE BALL. REFOCUS YOUR THOUGHTS ON THE FUTURE-DON'T FOCUS ON THE PAST. **THERE IS NO WAGON TO FALL OFF
