It All Adds Up

If you have an all or nothing thinking about eating & exercising, you already probably know that it doesn't serve you. You know what I'm talking about - when we feel like we need to be all in, and if we're not all in, we're all out. Either we're eating organic vegetables & home made meals, or we're ordering take out. Why is it so hard for us humans to moderate? Especially when it comes to our health habits? We think it should be easy - and at the beginning it is. But when life becomes stressful, or conditions are less than ideal, and we can't live up to the expectations that we've set for ourselves, we feel like we've failed. One of the keys to success is to become resilient - to catch failure, correct our response, & move past it without making it mean that we've failed - that WE are a terrible person for not living up to the expectations that we've set for ourselves. And so learning how to interrupt your thought process and insert better, more productive, thoughts - thoughts that will help you to recover from a failure and mitigate the damage can be a really useful tool in our quest to change our health behaviors. Tune in to learn how to turn failure thinking into resilience thinking. Get full show notes and more information here: https://elizabethsherman.com/podcast/30Hey! I love hearing from you.
