What to do when you have a great idea, but that’s it? We hear all the time how Microsoft and Apple were started in a garage. All successful companies start with an idea, and then seemingly overnight the idea grows into a successful business. There’s no doubt that becoming your own boss takes a lot of work. And that the road to success is paved with stories of defeat, disappointment, and failure – which is why I loved talking to Sindy Warren about how she helps budding entrepreneurs start businesses – whether they’re just part-time hustles or ideas that allow women to retire their partners. Whether we’re talking about business or weight loss, there are SO MANY parallels when it comes to the mental game and achieving success in these two different areas. Sindy is such a great coach & person to learn from if you’re someone who has an Read More . . .

Overthinking it? Get rid of the inner critic that’s telling you that you can’t. Self-doubt shows up in us in a few different ways. Second-guessing ourselves, over-thinking a problem, or imposter syndrome. Through the years, what I’ve learned is that self-doubt shows up when I’m on the edge of my comfort zone – and typically when I’m in a situation where I’m trying to improve or grow. In these situations, self-doubt is normal. We all experience it. What determines whether we grow or shrink is whether we listen to it, believe it, and allow it to influence our behavior. The more we do, the smaller our life gets. The less we listen – yes, of course, it’s scary, but – the more comfortable we get ignoring it, and the fuller our life becomes as a result.

Setting boundaries is easy. It’s enforcing them that can be challenging. And it may not make sense why we’re talking about boundaries when we’re talking about our health, especially in the context of our weight loss goals.  However, in the process of growing into the person who finds maintaining her weight effortless, establishing boundaries is a crucial skill so that other people’s needs and wants don’t get in the way of our success. We don’t think about boundaries when it comes to prioritizing our health, however, when we’re in the process of establishing our new behaviors, the tug of not wanting to disappoint others will be a strong deterrent. What we do next makes all the difference.

It’s so frustrating when we want to cultivate a new habit – we see other people doing it seamlessly – and yet, for us, it seems elusive.  Whether it’s consistently exercising, going to bed on time, or eating a healthful diet, for all of us, there are just some habits that just don’t seem to stick. Why is that? Many of us think that we’re just not trying hard enough. Or that we’re just wired this way. But what if it’s neither of those things and something that we can change? In this episode, I’ll explain the Neuro Linguistic Programming Logical Levels of Change, and how it applies to your health behaviors – and what to do to finally figure out how to get ourselves to stick to those behaviors that we KNOW are good for us.

Want to learn the secret to success in creating better habits? For sure, I can tell you what won’t get you there: And so, what’s the antidote to those methods? It’s B minus health. Leaning into it. Getting 1% better every day. Picking the low hanging fruit. ‘Good enough”. Whatever you want to call it, it all adds up to the same thing: getting incrementally better over time so that you don’t burn out in a flame of glory.  When we apply good enough to our health, it sounds like we aren’t trying. I mean, when we say, “It’s not just good. It’s good enough.” it implies that we could do better. And maybe we can – but at what price? What if the answer to getting to our goal was barely making an effort? In this episode of the Done with Dieting Podcast, learn how to combat all or Read More . . .
