#154 From DIET STRUGGLES to RESULTS, how to THRIVE and unleash your STRONG and SEXY w JEB JOHNSTON

Be willing to feel You need to be willing to feel You can’t be happy if you are stuck in the future or the past. People think they are stuck right now but that because they aren’t living in the moment. _____________________________ People have history behind them of it already Women – body issues – how does that feed into how they steer their eating patterns. Self awareness – Understanding that food is not JUST fuel or sustenance theres so much around it. We lose sight of all the external environment Environment about key – Food is never a solution Comfort – shame points I just have to work hard and I got it – doesn’t work that way. Mentors have mentors. You can try work it out yourself, or get someone whos been there or specialised in it. You need to be willing to explore emotions. Future thinking, being in the moment, being okay with where you are. _____________________________ How what you believe about yourself and your identity can shape your actions. You will fail Being in the present, work on the now. Not on the past. That is there, it will show its self up. But its in the past. Facts from narrative. Separate the story Someone always does something to us Stop playing the victim. What is the real narrative? – we usually have images in our mind that are better than they really were. Could the potential of just anticipating failure or even just the way we see ourself feed that. Ownership and getting real with the reality of the lifestyle and how yoru environment and identity shape it. Like How does it make you show up better – Ou don’t realise this until you actually start doing the things and paying attention to all this and actually consistently doing it and checking in with yourself People don’t slowdoen for this Stop trying to find a way around what you know to be true. You will have to change to see change. You will have to step up and put in work. And that means weekends too. DBT is all about 2 things being opposing but coexisting – But the KEY HERE IS THE DESIRE TO MOVE FORWARD AND BE OUR BEST SELF. BUT WE DIDN’T START THIS WAY - How you do one thing is how you do everything take away and replace – you just want to break the cycle. Its okay to do it – its okay to allow it to repeat for now, we are just practicing the awareness and adding in Overwhelm will always be there until we can actually break it down But you need to be willing to. And that’s why writing is so important and putting it on paper – because you can keep repeating it. You can keep recognising the same thing – you will lean more about yourself. You will grow in the process. You learn what not to do. You have these roadblocks on the way to where you WANT to go. Put them in place for what you don’t want. @jebstuartjohnston foodonthemind.com/free-guide
