Resetting Our Mindset

Resetting Our Mindset.

For many of us we’ve decided to make changes to our daily routines in the favor of weight loss. We are familiar with the common recommendations: "You have to make it a lifestyle" and "Don't call it a diet", but what does that really mean?

Sure, we are willing to change for a period of time, maybe willing to give up our overeating to reach a goal, but are we really willing to change make a forever change?

A mindset change for life isn’t only about making the conscious effort to change, it’s about becoming willing subconsciously to allow that change. Resetting the mindset requires in inward review of why we continue patterns in life that result in weight gain, steal from our happiness, and why we have held firm to old habits of eating that have never provided for a lighter healthier body that we long to live in.

Resetting the ideas that the relationships we’ve built with food and eating are ours forever, they don’t have to be, we decide. It is with great strength we can take time to search our deepest thoughts and begin to identify connections in our subconscious about our relationships with food. The fact that we are even taking this journey reveals our true strength. Our inner strength can look at allow us to make decisions to end lifelong food connections or continue on the same path.

In the end, resetting the mindset isn’t about eliminating those connections but about the willingness to be entirely ready to live without those connections. Without the willingness the connections wither and die on their own.

The process is about recognizing our strength, the honesty and bravery to look into ourselves and face the unknown path head-on. It is this strength that we will call upon as we let those subconscious connections go. We have a new way of living, to use our bodies as vehicles to achieve our goals, experience our lives to the fullest, and to be the happiest we can be with the bodies we travel in. We make these decision, consciously and subconsciously, every day…. Resetting our mindset.
