IDENTIFY YOUR CURRENT BELIEFS
We talked about beliefs in the last section, so how do you actually identify what your current beliefs are?
Journaling
Writing down your thoughts at the end of the day in a journal, in free-flow mode. Just write down what comes naturally, don’t edit. Then read it back and highlight anything that stands out.
Draw a mind map of single words around health, nutrition, food and weight. Don’t edit just write. It can be very revealing, especially when you just write and don’t think.
Start to observe what your think and say, especially when you say “I can, I can’t, I must, I always”
Answer these questions with the very first thing that comes into your head.
Thin people are…
Food is…
My health is…
Exercise is…
What words did you fill in the gaps with? These words will highlight what your beliefs are. They may be holding you back, but we can change them.
