11. Conditioning, Deconditioning, and a Case Study on My Struggle with Food Shame

When you meet your Human Design chart, you see a map for what you know to be true in you — your natural gifts and energetic predisposition — but you also have a map for where you are most vulnerable to the conditioning messages of others that interfere with your growth, development, and ultimate alignment with your true self. Deconditioning is the process of unwinding those conditioned messages, but how does conditioning even start? Is it possible to avoid it? What is our role in it? The bad news is that we're all subject to conditioning because, when we're kids, we don't have the awareness or self-reflective consciousness and life experience to stop the conditioning in its tracks. The good news is that, once we develop awareness around our conditioning, we can reverse it through deep inquiry of our stories, bringing relief and restoring our freedom to simply be who we're meant to be. This episode provides a case study from my own life around a topic that burdened me for most of my life — food shame. I began deconditioning the behaviors and beliefs that contributed to this dysfunction while attending a 9-day retreat to practice The Work with Byron Katie. I am no longer a victim of my obsessions — I'm in control of them.   PODCAST MENTIONS Unveiling a New Study: Derailing the Cycle of Food Shame Dan Buettner and The Blue Zones Michael Pollan, "Eat Food, Not Too Much, Mostly Vegetables."   If you want to learn more about where you may be blocked by your own conditioning, my Superpowers + Kryptonite reading will help you.
