info_outlineRachel Freiman is here today to discuss how to become MindStrong. Her aim is to educate women and to cut through all the conflicting information. She talks about stepping back, wiping the slate clean and starting to approach health and fitness as a life skill. It is important to understand what diets you tried, why it didn’t work, be able to release the past, and start with a new skill base. It is basic human nature for our brain to fight back against change. It is all about baby steps and momentum. We are pleasure seekers, however, when we take baby steps and mentally celebrate it, all the feel good chemicals will be released and our brain will say that it feels good. This will begin to snowball and our brain will say let’s do that again and what else can I do? Weight loss journey is full of ups and downs, when we can focus on the steps along the way, we don’t have to worry about the end point. There is a three step process to building habits. Accountability is the first step which should not be seen as a weakness, it is what you need. Next, you form a habit through consistency. And finally there is a neuro connection as you repeat actions, this will become a habit.
