12: Are Your Thoughts Tricks or Treats?

Success on keto doesn't just require beef, butter, bacon and eggs. It requires a positive mindset. A negative mindset can really slow down your progress, limit your hope for the future and maybe even cause you to give up on your keto journey altogether. In today's podcast, we discuss some of the ways our thoughts have tricked us into settling for less than our potential. We treat ourselves to an exercise on redirecting our thoughts and celebrating our keto lifestyle.

SHOW RUNDOWN: 2:00-5:55 Intro to topic "Sometimes the thoughts that we have are very spooky." What steps can we take to speak positively to ourselves? "We don't have to have a climate of negativity and worry."  "Every single time we have a thought, we're listening." "We need to come to every single plate with a good attitude." "Negative thinking undermines our motivation."   5:56-8:00 Negative thought: "this isn't fair." "It is disproportional in our favor that we are able to eat this way."   8:01-10:50Where did this thought originate? "Is this actually my line or is it someone else's script about me?"   10:51-13:55 When did this thought originate? "How many times have I tricked myself into settling because I have had a negative thought about myself?" "I've tricked myself out of advancement because of negative thoughts about myself."   13:56-19:49 Is this thought true at all? Take time to fact check. Don't make general, wide-sweeping statements about ourselves.   19:50-23:03 How do my thoughts see-saw my life? "Are my thoughts more effective at motivating me or are they more effective at allowing me to give up?" "Is this thought motivating me to make a change if I need to or is it tricking me into continuing bad patterns?" "If you give a large sanctuary to negative thinking, you will tire yourself out when it comes to wanting to do better."   23:04-26:00 How can I tell the difference between negative thoughts and motivating thoughts? "Would I say this thought, out loud, to someone I care about?" "If we look in the mirror and convince ourselves we're never going to amount to anything, then we're never going to amount to anything."   26:01-36:43 Practice reframing our thoughts "I may not be at optimal Rachel, but I'm not where I use to be." "If I was able to get through 30 days of BBBE, then I can get through the holidays successfully." "This is not a diet. This is a lifestyle. By changing the word, I changed history." "A diet has an end, a lifestyle doesn't." "Hey, there's new information about me. I need to update my records." "Do we want to keep heading toward this spooky door and knocking on it?"
