Have you ever considered that your brain might be offering you lies to think?
The circumstances we are faced with in our lives are neutral until we have a thought about it.
The way we think produces the results around us. Every time. Without fail.
Honestly, this is something we should have been taught in school.
Often times a lot of us get trapped in focusing on what we lack. We focus on not having. We focus on missing out.

Once your brain is pointed in a particular direction, it gets really good at being pointed in that direction.
The good news is that there is nothing wrong with you. You’ve practiced a particular habit or way of thinking and your brain got super streamlined about it.
There is so much room to change the way you think. There is endless possibility in becoming the person we have always wanted to become.
Once we can unlock the way we are currently thinking and intentionally select a new thought pattern for us to practice, we are truly capable of achieving anything.
Yes. It is this simple. And complicated.
And the other piece of magic is that you have permission (not that you need it!) to think whatever you want about you. So, what will it be?
How about something audacious like, “I am the strongest human being on the planet!”
And/or maybe something inherently true like, “I’m a great mom.”
Because you are.

A client said to me, “Once I have bariatric surgery, I want my relationship with food to be different — and better.” But the real problem is, how do we change the message to our brain.

Was there ever a period of time in your life where the feeling of shame was the theme? Shame when you didn't meet a goal you set. Shame when you gained weight rather then losing it.

I think my favorite part since deciding to become a life coach has been the awareness and recognition in my own self of the patterns my brain offers me. Thinking, feeling, doing patterns that have run my life. Patterns that get better and better because as you practice one thing, your brain just gets better and better at it.

I have spent the last few months slowly coming to the realization that I am actually now living a life I had previously only thought about and hoped for. I am a weight loss coach. And moreover, I am a weight loss coach who is still losing the rest of her weight.
