S1E41 - Loving an Ugly Child: Lessons on Acceptance

Episode Notes

Find out your diet personality type. Take the quiz!

Does acceptance make you feel like apathy or defeat? If this is how you feel, you're in good company. Many people feel like this and they too are missing out on the potential that self-acceptance offers you in your journey to your goals. In this episode we are talking about how to use self-acceptance to move you forward instead of falling for the quitters narrative. You'll learn about what acceptance really looks like, how it can help you refocus your attention to where you want to be heading. This is your opportunity to learn how to love the ugly child, and finally get out of your own way.

S1E42 - Taking Responsibility for Your Journey w/Eileen Trujillo

Episode Notes

Find out your diet personality type. Take the quiz!

The only way out is through. This is a hard truth, but it is always said with love. It's time to stop looking for reasons why things won't work and justifying crappy thinking with excuses and blaming. Most programs will have some things that fit great, and some that you struggle to implement. Sometimes a strategy works right away, and other times it has to marinate for a while. What we know for sure is that change requires repetition and responsibility. Here are some examples:

  • It's easy to blame a jerk for making you feel bad, but even if someone said something terrible to you, you are responsible for what you make it mean and how you react to it.
  • It's easy to think that since you ran out of paper in your planner, that you couldn't keep your schedule, but the reality is that you could make due with a marker and some cardboard if it really matters to you.
  • It's tempting to blame life circumstances for overwhelming you, but you still have the option to say no, take things one step at a time, reprioritize, or extend your timeline.
  • If you didn't get what you were expecting out of a relationship, book, or program it is still your responsibility to take what you did learn and put it into action.

You can blame, justify, excuse, and complain until the cows come home. Hell, you may even be right to do so, but how does that serve you? How does that get you to your next level of success? When you take responsibility for what you can control, you are open to solutions and you have control. You can change things that you take ownership over. When you choose to double down on why everyone or everything else was wrong, you stay in victim mode and rely on everyone but yourself to change the way you think and feel, and ultimately you relinquish your ability to get a better result.

S1E43 - When It's Time to Quit and When to Double Down

Episode Notes

Find out your diet personality type. Take the quiz!

Sometimes we outgrow a goal, sometimes we need to trust ourselves to just keep going, and other times we get the urge to say that we are ready to walk away from the goal because it isn't important anymore; when in reality life feels hard and the goal has taken a backseat. The skill you lack is learning to ride the waves without quitting. This is perfectionistic thinking incognito. You start to feel overwhelmed by keeping up the initial intensity of effort you had in the beginning. Rather than asking yourself how to ride the wave, or get some extra support, you decide to justify the urge to walk away by telling the story that it just doesn't matter anymore. But will it matter in 6 months? Will it matter in a year or two? If you know the answer is yes, stay with it and dial back the intensity of effort. If you don't know for sure, stay with it long enough to be sure. Quitting can be a revelation and a gift. Sometimes we stay with things out of fear or guilt that we've spent so much time on that goal already. That kind of quitting comes from a place of growth. It's aligned. It usually comes after a period of growth and discomfort, not in the middle of it. But if quitting gives you a sense of relief from the burden on your mind, but doesn't have an aligned reason, then that relief is more about avoiding the discomfort right before the real growth happens.

Your mess is calling you in and asking you to look at the things you've been turning away from. There is a reason we say that it's not about the food, and this is the podcast that tells you exactly why that is. Ready?
