Episode Highlights:

(11:49) Cognitive dissonance is the mental discomfort that we experience when we try to hold two conflicting beliefs. Let's say you've held a certain belief for a very long time, for example, if you don't eat, you'll lose weight. And then you learn a new fact; you discover that not eating actually causes weight gain. And so there's this cognitive dissonance. It's really uncomfortable, and the brain tries to protect itself from that discomfort.


(17:50) We can't notice everything. We program our attention in advance with our beliefs, and then we look for data to support our beliefs. So depending on what we've programmed into our brain, the brain is going to pay more attention to some things happening in our lives and ignore other things that are happening.


(25:46) Get accountability. It could be a coach or a support group. It could be someone in our Empowered Weight Loss program. If you want to join our membership, you guys can support each other. Maybe even just some sort of tracking system. Assume that there are deceptions and distortions that you can't see.

Ask someone you trust to show you your blind spots. Others are going to notice things that you habitually overlook, providing a lot of valuable insight for you. You really need this objective feedback.
