Ep. 98 Ryan Kassim - How to Simplify the Inner Work (Identity Shifts, Behavior Change, & Problem Awareness)

On this week’s episode of The Chasing Health Podcast, I welcomed Ryan Kassim onto the show! I’ve been following Ryan for a while, however we just recently connected for this podcast after a listener, Gina, recommended Ryan join me on the show. In the episode, we dove into: - How we are so tempted to overdo things right away as soon as we start losing weight. How can we simplify most of these things? - We need to take a closer look at our behaviors that are causing us to gain weight and what we can change in terms of our behavior that will aid in weight loss. - Understanding that our behaviors are tied back to childhood as well as many failed dieting attempts. - How we need to start thinking and acting like our future self - the identity shift. - The importance of utilizing therapy, meditation, and journaling to assist in the identity shift. - Ryans experience with anxiety and depression. How he got through that. - How to simplify journaling and meditation. - Why it’s so important to create awareness before making change. - Ryan’s top two recommendations if you’re ready to make a change today. Thank you so much, Ryan, for joining me on the show! Appreciated this convo a ton!
