Stop Trying To Lose Weight With Motivation & Willpower. How To Create Willingness & Lose It For Good

from Wellness For Real at Any Age · host Heather Heynen, LPC-MH

There is often a misunderstanding that we need to feel motivation or use willpower to behave or act in a new or different way. The simplest example many of us can relate to would be “I need to feel motivated to change my over-eating habits” or “I need more willpower to move my body”. Those are the things our brains tell us and we believe it. But remember that our brain often does not tell us the truth. Its goal is to conserve energy and make you feel safe so it makes sense it tells us these things, but the reality is it is not the true. Learn how to create willingness which leads to much easier weight loss or any goal in life you have set for yourself. This episode will teach you how to actually enjoy the weight loss process without having to feel like you’re white-knuckling anything. If you find yourself saying, “I just need to try harder” this episode is for you! To learn how I help my clients lose weight for good, create healthy relationships with food and live the life they desire, head over to HeatherHeynen.com
