Dear Shifters,

Happy Labor Day!  I have had a wonderful weekend with various groups of friends telling stories and relaxing.  If any of you have been to one of my classes or events or one of my Tele-seminars you know that I love to tell stories.  When I struggled with my weight I always told myself stories about why I wasn’t doing what I needed to be doing in order to lose weight. 

“I would looooooooovvvvvvvveeeee to exercise BUT you know I am so tired when I get off work.  I also need some new work-out clothes because the people look funny at me when I come to the gym.  Yeah, those people at my gym they are a little too serious for me… what I really need to do is TRY and find a better gym BUT I don’t have time and they are so expensive…blah,blah, blah!”

The bigger the story and the excuse the better it made me feel about myself.  It softened the truth, which was I was overweight and not taking action to get healthy, confident and feel good about myself from the inside out.  The story was a kind of temporary pain relief that propped me up and really kept ultimately from facing my reality and taking the first steps of action.

The Bigger your Story the Bigger your Butt

Over the years as I have coached people through many weight release journeys I have witnessed what I call “Story-eye-tis” or “But-in-mouth disorder” happen to many a sincere Shifter.  When a client is using Thin Thinking—thinking that is problem solving and planning focused, typically the person is seeing results both on and off the scale.  When they don’t follow through on exercise or have a few days of off track eating they immediately  acknowledge it, make a plan how to get on track with a plan of action, and get on with their Shifted lives.  Nice!

I know when a client is in Fat Thinking mode when their stories about their lack of follow through on their weight release strategy start to get longer and are filled with more excuses as to why they didn’t do what they said they were going to do and why it might be hard to get back on track.  A lot of times this “Story-eye-tis” includes a lot of BUTs about how other people, places, and things are making it hard for them to follow through on their weight release plan or even listen to their hypnosis (which would help them cut through the BUTs to begin with)—that’s why I also call it “But-in-mouth” disorder.

Here’s the thing—your stories take your power away from you, they keep you trapped in the same thinking that has been keeping you struggling for years.  You deserve better than those same old sorry stories that keep you from breaking through and achieving your goals and living the life of your dreams. Keep the stories for the campfire and start to problem solve and plan instead. 

SHIFT:

1)    Cut the story (which is Fat thinking)—focus on your weight release vision (we create this vision in the Shift Weight mastery Process but you need to continuiously renew your vision or it stops working). When that little voice in your head wants to start some story about why exercising today is impossible because you don’t have the right work-out clothes that are clean and that if you wear the other work-out clothes you might offend someone at the gym and besides its raining out and even though you are going to the gym which is indoors and dry you do have to get from the parking lot to the gym and that would get you wet and you absolutely cannot get a cold –STOP!  Tell yourself—I am telling myself a story  what action plan can I create instead??

2)    Create an alternative action (which is Thin Thinking): If you don’t exercise—don’t make a story up but rather, note what happened, ask yourself what is the strategy for moving forward with an altered plan?  Then follow through on that altered plan. Example: I can’t exercise after work today and since I won’t be burning that 300 calories I can walk today and tomorrow at lunch and make up for that.

3)    End of storyJ

Is the bitter taste of “but” currently lingering in your mouth??  Do you have a story at the end of the summer as to why you did not reach your summer weight release goals?  I hope not but if you do maybe it’s time to dig a bit deeper and come up with a plan of action for the autumn that is realistic and that you can really follow through on.

 I am committed to your Shifting and showing up for yourself day by day all autumn long.  Why spend the autumn feeling out of control with your relationship to food, weight and yourself.  Spend the autumn powerfully rooted in Thin Thinking and weight release.
We are quickly approaching our next Shift Weight Mastery Process September 22nd from 9-5—
